Former Federal Communications Commission Media Bureau chief Ken Ferree joined free-market think tank the Progress & Freedom Foundation as its new president.
Ferree, whose first day was Wednesday, replaced Tom Lenard, who exited at the end of September to join another think tank, i-Growth Global.
Ferree had been with California law firm Sheppard, Mullin, Richter & Hampton, which he joined after exiting the Corporation for Public Broadcasting in late 2005, where he had been chief operating officer and interim CEO.
Ferree was with the FCC from 2001-05, and his name has come up in recent Hill hearings on media ownership.
