Wicker: Industry is Moving in the Right Direction on TV Commercial Loudness, Government Intervention Not Necessary
Wednesday, June 9, 2010
WASHINGTON, D.C. – In response to the Senate Commerce, Science, and Transportation Committee’s approval today of legislation, S. 2847 – the Commercial Advertising Loudness Mitigation (CALM) Act, to regulate the audio volume of television commercials relative to other programming, U.S. Senator Roger Wicker (R-Miss.) released the following statement:
“In response to legislation I introduced in 2008, the television industry has been moving in the right direction on commercial advertising audio volume. Therefore, I do not believe government intervention is necessary at this time. I am glad to see that this bill includes industry standards, and I hope industry leaders will continue to make progress and Congress will not have to act on this issue.”
