FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE NEWS MEDIA CONTACT May 4, 2012 Brigid Calamis 202-418-2200 Brigid.calamis@fcc.gov STATEMENT OF COMMISSIONER ROBERT M. McDOWELL REGARDING CORRECTION TO MAY 4, 2012 EDITION OF COMMUNICATONS DAILY The May 4, 2012 edition of Communications Daily incorrectly attributed the following quote to Commissioner McDowell: McDowell said NAB “seems to have recognized that opening up unused TV channels for innovative broadband uses, without disturbing existing broadcast operations, is the best result for the public. It's a far better outcome than broadcasters losing even more channels in an auction to benefit Verizon and AT&T.” Communications Daily will run a correction in this evening’s edition. Commissioner McDowell continues to believe that the Commission should not exclude any specific companies from participating in the upcoming incentive auctions, as Congress clearly intended. # # #
