Did TV forget the FCC Calm Act?

Did TV especially cable and satellite TV forget the Calm Act. For those not in the know, the Calm act was established to keep and maintain sound or volume levels, even. That is at the same volumetric level from the show itself to commercials and back to your program.

The condition of having everything set for the show, then being blasted out of your chair when the station break comes and that commercial comes on.

There are many excuses of why this act has not met with the requirements. Like , no real person monitoring the control console or its hard to have a computer do it all the time does not work etc. And I’ll be the first to say that hiring someone might be difficult if not available at all to get someone to just monitor sound levels. But can’t TV stations and/or cable companies get it together? Are we the only ones in America that cares about the end consumer beyond the income to the station , but to who we do it for?

Just amazing.

Must be everybody in broadcasting is asleep at the board, but then aren’t you glad you tune into HazzardAyre?
