FCC To Crack Down On Loud Commericals

That is it. But that also means that the average volume of the commercials is higher. Thirty seconds of loudness vs. 0 seconds of softness is going to raise the average higher than 2 seconds of loudness and 22 minutes of softness.

Why are they doing this…NEXT YEAR and not 50 freaking years ago? :dubious:

I got one of these and it pretty much solves the problem.

I thought they promised to do this five or so years ago…

Yes. With the burning passion of the sun, YES.

I’d like to see them do this with the show Supernatural. I spend most of the show alternating between turning the volume all the way up to be able to hear the muffled whispers that make up the dialogue and then turning it all the way down for the ear splitting action scenes.

Until the DVR was invented, I never realized that without all the commercials, pre-game remarks, and interviews, an episode of Jeopardy! is only 17 minutes long.
