Kudos to Gavin Newsom

California cracks down on loud streaming ads under new state law
SB 576 extends a federal broadcast and cable TV rule from 2010 to the streaming era
Starting this Wednesday, July 1, streaming platforms serving California consumers will be barred from running commercials at a higher volume than the shows, movies or other video content they interrupt.
The bill, SB 576, was signed into law last October by Gov. Gavin Newsom and extends a long-running television rule to the streaming era.
Federal law already requires commercials on broadcast and cable television to match the average volume of the programming they accompany under the 2010 Commercial Advertisement Loudness Mitigation Act.

I will vote for whoever does away with that rule to start extra innings with a runner on second.

They have a 30-minute overtime in knockout games, divided into two 15-minute halves where they reverse ends of the field. However, that overtime is like a basketball overtime. It's not sudden death, but most total goals in the 30 minutes. So, occasionally both teams will score a goal in the 30 minutes and the game will still go to penalty kicks.

Can we get a law that makes the volume on streaming service programs equal for both music and dialogue. Too many times I have to turn it up to hear them speak, only to be blasted by soundtrack. A bit of equalization would be ideal.

Wouldn't it be great if we could get politicians to enact things that 90% of people agree on?
