Jonathan Adelstein, commissioner of the Federal Communications Commission, criticized former FCC Chairman Kevin Martin for the regulator’s taking more than 200 days to approve Time Warner Cable’s spinoff from Time Warner Inc., Broadcasting & Cable reports, citing a C-SPAN interview. Mr. Adelstein said the reasons for the delay were “unrelated” to the spinoff and referred to some of the FCC’s actions under Mr. Martin as “abuse of power,” B&C says, citing the interview.
