No more loud commercials
TV viewing could soon sound a little calmer. The CALM Act, which limits the volume of TV commercials, goes into effect on Thursday.
CALM stands for Commercial Advertisement Loudness Mitigation. The act is designed to prevent TV commercials from blaring at louder volumes than the program content they accompany. The rules govern broadcasters as well as cable and satellite operators. The rules are meant to protect viewers from excessively loud commercials. The Federal Communications Commission adopted the rules a year ago, but gave the industry a one-year grace period to adopt them. Suspected violations can be reported by the public to the FCC on its website. Read more: http://www.kcci.com/news/entertainme...#ixzz2Esvn7V7I |
They did this about 15 years ago and it stuck for about a month.

I find loud commercials to be pretty annoying, but is this really something we needed the government to regulate?
|
Aren't mute buttons and DVR's the answer to this problem?

If you are simply objecting to the general idea of government(any govt... local, or state included) being involved in this than I can see your point but I think that ship sailed long ago. |
