President Barack Obama signed the Commercial Advertisement Loudness Mitigation (CALM) Act into law on Dec 15. The bill directs the Federal Communications Commission to regulate commercial volume per the Advanced Television Systems Committee's recommendations adopted last November. It gives cable operators and broadcasters a year from the law's adoption to comply.
