Dive summary: 

• The President will announced today the nominated of Tom Wheeler as the FCC commissioner. 
• Current commissioner Mignon Clyburn will serve as interim commissioner until Wheeler's appointment, making her the first woman FCC commissioner. 
• Wheeler's nomination comes to no surprise as Wheeler, a former lobbyist for cable and wireless organizations, has been considered the top pick for weeks. 

From the article: 

"Over the past few weeks, Wheeler picked up more and more support from outside groups, overshadowing a play by Sen. Jay Rockefeller (D-W.Va.) and 30 other Senators to push for former Rockefeller aide and now FCC Commissioner Jessica Rosenworcel."
