This just in at Radio Ink: FCC Chairman Kevin Martin said today that the FCC is considering fines for satellite radio broadcasters XM and Sirius for rules violations regarding receiver standards and power levels of its terrestrial repeaters.

In other satellite radio news, today Martin told an audience the National Association of Broadcasters Radio Show that local stations should not be concerned about losing local advertising. The two satellite radio operators cannot have local content and must carry content on a national basis. "We don't have any prohibitions on where ad revenue can come from," he said, "but we do say because they are a national service ... they are not allowed to be on localized content."
