>>> well, starting at midnight tonight, those too loud television commercials are supposed to go away forever. if you complain about them like we do in our house, now there's a place where you can officially complain. there's a toll free number for the fcc complaint line. they want to hear about violati violations. we hope they're never on this broadcast. the new law is the commercial advertisement loudness mitigation act . so the acronym for what they call it is c.a.l.m. officially henceforth commercials can be no longer than television programming .
