WASHINGTON -- FCC chairman Kevin Martin isn't yet ready to hang up
his regulatory spurs, as he denied rumors that he was going to
leave the commission since it finished the media-ownership
rulemaking. "I think there are lots of people that are wanting me
to ride off into the sunset," he told reporters following Tuesday's
meetings. "As a matter of fact, there seems like there's more and
more of them." Despite those wishes, Martin said he plans to stay.
"I've got no plans to ride off into the sunset," he said. "I plan
on staying through President Bush's term."
