The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) is seeking public comment on updates to the rules under the Commercial Advertisement Loudness Mitigation (CALM) Act. This effort aims to address persistent issues with loud television commercials, as recent complaints indicate that the problem still frustrates many viewers. The FCC is asking for opinions on whether the current rules need changes, particularly in regards to commercials' volume on streaming platforms, which are not currently covered by the CALM Act, and whether new approaches can effectively mitigate loudness overall. Additionally, the FCC is gauging its authority to regulate commercial volume on these streaming services.

The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has proposed a rule change for the KPTV(TV) station in Portland, Oregon. Gray Television Licensee, LLC has requested that the FCC substitute channel 12 for channel 21 for KPTV(TV) in the Table of TV Allotments. This change is necessary because the construction of the new channel 21 facility cannot be completed before its permit expires. The proposed substitution will enable KPTV(TV) to continue broadcasting on its current channel and meet technical and coverage requirements set by the FCC.
