The Federal Communications Commission cemented rules on Tuesday to make TV commercials a little less annoying. The rules prevent TV providers, such as cable and broadcast companies, from spiking the volume of commercials so they are louder than the volume viewers choose for their normal programming. The rules passed in a unanimous, bipartisan vote, fulfilling a mandate from last year's Commercial Advertisement Loudness Mitigation Act.
