FCC now can act when TV commercials are too loud.

Will it make any dif­fer­ence, or will they just keep on doing what they want because this is real­ly just an excuse to try to ille­gal­ly, (alleged­ly) give pow­ers to the Fcc that they do not have nor should they have.

Since 1960 reports have been com­ing into the FCC, alleged­ly, but noth­ing has ever been done, now we have the CALM act, but will it do any good at all?

I just have one ques­tion, why has Fox news not cov­ered this momen­tous achieve­ment of the Oba­ma Admin­is­tra­tion?

Well could it be that they are tak­ing mon­ey from the very peo­ple that the FCC wants to CALM DOWN, sure and why not we are sick and tired of the over­ly loud TV com­mer­cials, that blast your ear drums over and over again or how about this, the prac­tice of reduc­ing the vol­ume on reg­u­lar TV pro­gram­ming so that you have to turn up your TV each time you want to watch some­thing that is not a com­mer­cial.

So why has Fox news not cov­ered this sto­ry, or for that mat­ter why has not CBS, NBC, MSNBC, ABC, well has any­one cov­ered it?

So what up, besides the vol­ume, I mean when I watch a TV show and I have to turn down the vol­ume on every com­mer­cial because of how loud it is, that is just wrong.

Are you see­ing loud com­mer­cials?

If you are you should get your eyes checked because we are talk­ing about how loud a com­mer­cials and since you cant see, then you bet­ter lis­ten up.

From the FCC web­site,
If You Have a Com­plaint

Under most cir­cum­stances, it is in the inter­est of broad­cast­ers to use equip­ment and pro­ce­dures to avoid “loud” com­mer­cials and back­ground noise. If you have a com­plaint about “loud” com­mer­cials and back­ground noise, first try reduc­ing the vol­ume by check­ing your tele­vi­sion and remote con­trol. You may also con­tact the station(s) involved and explain your con­cerns. You should iden­ti­fy each mes­sage of con­cern by the spon­sor or product’s name and by the date and time of the broad­cast.

So, does this cov­er, cable net­works that are real­ly blast­ing your ear drums, with exces­sive, noise?

Prob­a­bly not, but it may be one of the “con­ve­nient excus­es” that the FCC decides to use in order to take over the inter­net and cable net­works.

How­ev­er, know­ing just how exces­sive this noise can actu­al­ly be would it real­ly be such a bad thing that some con­trol is exert­ed over the pro­gram­ming jerks that con­stant­ly bom­bard us with loud com­mer­cials?

Per­haps not, as long as they do not ask for an inch and intend to take a mile.

So what is next, should we reg­u­late how much sug­ar is in a can of soda?
