This section amends the Commercial Advertisement Loudness Mitigation (CALM) Act to direct the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), not later than 18 months after enactment, to prescribe regulations ensuring that commercial advertisements accompanying video programming delivered using internet protocol are subject to volume requirements substantially equivalent to those applicable under the CALM Act to television broadcast stations, cable operators, and multichannel video programming distributors. (The CALM Act requires such entities to limit the loudness of TV commercials pursuant to the ATSC A/85 recommended practice.) Video programming means content provided by, or generally considered comparable to, a television broadcast station but excludes consumer-generated media.
