On June 30, the U.S. Senate confirmed the President’s eight pending nominees to be members of the Broadcasting Board of Governors’ (BBG)  governing board. The new board members are: Walter Isaacson, Chairman; Victor Ashe; Michael Lynton; Susan McCue; Michael Meehan; Dennis Mulhaupt; Dana Perino; and S. Enders Wimbush. Together with the Secretary of State, this membership will constitute a full BBG board with no vacancies.

The Broadcasting Board of Governors is a bipartisan board comprised of nine members. Eight, four from each party, are appointed by the President and confirmed by the U.S. Senate; the ninth is the Secretary of State, who serves ex officio.
