White House Nominates Three To CPB Board

WHITE HOUSE NOMINATES THREE TO CPB BOARD
[SOURCE: Broadcasting&Cable, AUTHOR: John Eggerton]
Word is that the White House has finally come up with the three nominees to fill the vacancies on the nine-member Corporation for Public Broadcast board. They are said to be former Senator David Pryor, Chris Boskin of KQED San Francisco, both expected to be named, and conservative National Review contributor Warren Bell, who is something of a surprise. Pryor's nomination has been at the White House since last July. He is seen as a tough but fair moderate who could bring more Blue State backbone to the board. Clue: He was the dean of the Clinton School of Public Service in Little Rock, Ark., before exiting Feb. 15. The Senate has yet to receive official notice of the nominations, according to a CPB source, after which it will schedule a confirmation hearing.
