Congress' Ears Perk Up -- Introduces Bill to Stop It

Rep. Anna Eshoo (D-CA) thinks the sound levels of television commercials are annoying.

From B&C:

The Commercial Advertisement Loudness Mitigation (CALM) Act — you can thank Eshoo’s chief of staff for the acronym — which was introduced this week, would compel the FCC within one year of passage to enact rules “requiring television advertisements not be excessively noisy.”

Forget how many people these days have TiVos or DVRs. We’re not statisticians but we think nearly all people have remotes.
