The executive branch appoints, the Senate confirms.

The FCC is directed by five commissioners appointed and controlled by the U.S. president and confirmed by the U.S. Senate for five-year terms, except when filling an unexpired term. The president designates one of the commissioners to serve as chairman. Only three commissioners may be members of the same political party. None of them may have a financial interest in any FCC-related business (wiki)

What GeronL said, only three commissioners may be members of the same political party.
