Turn It Down Act

Sponsored By: Representative Bice, Stephanie I. [R-OK-5]

Summary

This bill would extend the CALM Act's ad-volume loudness rules to video programming delivered using internet protocol, creating parity between internet-streamed ads and ads on broadcast TV, cable, and other multichannel distributors. It would require the Federal Communications Commission to adopt a regulation within 18 months that applies the CALM Act's section 2 loudness standards to IP-delivered video defined as programming comparable to a television broadcast and excluding consumer-generated media.

Limit loud ads on streaming video

This bill would require the FCC to write a rule within 18 months. The rule would make loud commercial ads on internet-delivered video follow the same limits as broadcast, cable, and other multichannel video services. "Video programming" would mean programming like a television broadcast. It would not include consumer-generated videos. If enacted, streaming services and advertisers would need to comply and viewers would likely hear fewer jarring ads.
