Democratic FCC appointee Michael Copps will make it his personal mission to turn grey the hair on chairman Kevin Martin's head. Copps, pictured, who's held his post since 2001, wants to know why Alabama CBS affiliate WHNT dropped a broadcast of 60 Minutes last month when a segment about the prosecution of former Alabama Gov. Don Siegelman aired. The news magazine "made the case that Siegelman had been wrongly convicted on the basis of a politically motivated case built by Republican prosecutors and White House political advisor Karl Rove." For its part, WHNT says the blackout wasn't intentional; an equipment failure was to blame for the lost feed. Skeptics remain, which is why Copps wants Martin to formally investigate the issue. Martin, a Republican appointee made chairman by President Bush, said only he would look into the matter. Collecting penalty fees from NYPD Blue and the Super Bowl remain significantly more important.
