CALM Act

(New York City) Adopted a year ago, the CALM Act became effective today as the one-year grace period expired.
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.
Isn't that special?
