Ban on loud TV commercials takes effect today
Woot! I don't know how many times I've dosed off while watching TV on the couch or something only to be rudely awakened by some stupid loud commercial.
 ======================================= Ban on loud TV commercials takes effect today Representing what may be the most popular act of Congress since the "Do Not Call" list, a law prohibiting broadcasters from cranking up the volume on TV commercials takes effect today. Loud commercials have been the No. 1 complaint logged by the FCC over the past decade. Legislation mandating that broadcasters deliver advertisements at a volume no higher than the programming in which it airs sailed through Congress in 2010 - unanimously in the Senate - and was signed into law by President Obama. It was called the CALM Act, or Commercial Advertisement Loudness Mitigation Act. The FCC then drafted implementation rules and gave broadcasters until today to comply. Complete Story

I've got more red flags than Soviet Russia! There is a good chance that you don't like me, but there is a better chance that I don't care. If I'm not insulting you, I'm probably not aware that you exist.  Jerry Jones in the draft room is suicide on the football field. The line of scrimmage is EVERYTHING. Something Jerry doesn't understand. |

Now can they make the Do Not Call list a little more effective. I still get BS calls on my cell phone. Around 4 or 5 a week.  |

As for the Do Not Call list, all you have to do is report them. I've reported a lot of people. The more I report, the less they call.

It's about damn time. I thought this was going to happen a year ago.

Pop up ads are the worst, especially when they pop up behind your browser. I can somewhat deal with the "commercial" type ads especially when they give you the option to skip them after 5-10 seconds. |

They need one channel for commercials. Not 2, not 10. One. If you want to watch them, tune in. They're ruining sports.

I have never believed that obnoxious or annoying commercials get people to buy the products. Actually I have always doubted that most advertizements that are not for sales, etc do very little to get people to buy that product.

Most modern tv's have a feature that mitigates this already, but I guess a law doesn't hurt.
They should amend it to also ban all radio ads and shows from using emergency sound effects like sirens and horns. We need wins, and that's all we need. I don't give a damn about anyone on this roster over wins. I'd trade Ware, Lee and Dez if it meant more wins.

Please keep on topic about loud TV commercials and leave the political stuff out. Thanks.
Did you know there are only 5000 Snow Leopards in the wild now and they are confined to Central Asia? However, the effective global population (those likely to reproduce) is less than half that number.

I told my wife the other day I wanted a new TV just so I could get one that kept every channel the same volume and cut out the loud commercials. I fall asleep with my TV on and I keep the volume down but still occasionally get awakened by it blaring because of loud commercials or certain scenes.
