FCC's Baker Finds Herself Playing 'This Is Your Life'

Federal Communications Commission member Meredith Attwell Baker found herself playing a mini version of the old "This Is Your Life" television game show during her appearance at the broadcasters' annual convention.

While many of the regulatory sessions at the National Association of Broadcasters' annual show were focused on weighty policy issues, the audience at Baker's session had the chance to learn a little bit more about the Republican FCC member than just where she stands on retransmission consent and spectrum allocation. After the audience got a chance to weigh in with their guesses, Commissioner Baker revealed these key details about herself: She was voted most optimistic by her high school class mates; dedicated the Air Supply hit song "All Out of Love" to her junior high school boyfriend and owns six televisions. After being quizzed on which Air Supply song she chose for that dedication, Commissioner Baker quipped, "This is what happens when I am the only commissioner who comes."
