An exit interview with newly-departed FCC Commissioner Kathleen Abernathy covers indecency, kids TV rules, the stalled ownership rule rewrite, and more. "I wish we had been able to come with sustainable media ownership rules. The marketplace craves certainty, and I think it is harmful for the industry and harmful for consumers when things remain uncertain for so long. Our job is to provide the framework, and we haven't been able to do that."
