CALMing the TV

We've all had the experience of being shocked out of our seat when a commercial comes on. Sometimes the noise is deafening. Surprisingly, our leaders are trying to do something about it. The Commercial Advertisement Loudness Mitigation Act (CALM) has been approved by the House. The bill attempts to prevent broadcasters from ramping up the volume when airing commercials.
