Blaring television advertisements took another step toward extinction this week when the U.S. House of Representatives passed H.R. 1084, the Commercial Advertisement Loudness Mitigation (CALM) Act, by a voice vote. The bill will prevent television advertisements from playing at a volume noticeably above the programs during which they air. Rep. Anna G. Eshoo (D-Palo Alto) drafted the bipartisan bill and shepherded it through the House. "This problem has existed for more than 50 years, but no one has properly addressed it," Rep. Eshoo said. "Under the CALM Act, consumers will no longer have to dive for the mute button." Loud commercials have been at the top of consumer complaints to the FCC for decades. Current official FCC policy recommends that consumers "mute" commercials if they find them excessively strident. Under the CALM Act, advertisers will have one year to adopt industry technology which modulates sound levels and prevents overly loud commercials. "It's been a singular pleasure working on this legislation. The CALM Act is an easy fix for a tremendous nuisance. In my 17 years in the House of Representatives, I've never carried a bill which has been received with so much enthusiasm by people across the country," Rep. Eshoo said. Senator Sheldon Whitehouse (D-RI) introduced companion legislation in the Senate on December 8, 2009...
The Radio Advertising Bureau (RAB) and National Association of Broadcasters (NAB) this week announced an expanded partnership of communications and events, including a combined Radio convention Sept. 29-Oct. 1, 2010 in Washington, DC. According to the Associations, the extension of the relationship forged under one voice for Radio in 2007, entails a long-term program of communications and events for Radio sales and representation in Washington to coincide with The Radio Show produced by RAB and NAB. "As part of the management structure of both the NAB and RAB, I've long felt there was tremendous value in bringing both organizations closer together," said Steve Newberry, NAB Joint Board Chairman and President and CEO Commonwealth Broadcasting Corporation. "This enhanced partnership is designed to positively address the needs of our radio station members and bring about proactive change for both of our trade associations." RAB President and CEO Jeff Haley said "We're very pleased with our new partnership," said "As we further move our medium into a branded content and digital world, it is important we provide our members and clients with all the necessary touch points to see and hear how Radio is innovating for the future." In addition to a new and revised Radio Show, NAB and RAB will partner on programs such as the NAB Show in Las Vegas and other industry leadership events. More details on the fall convention will be forthcoming in early 2010...

Following its planned purchase of rechargeable-battery maker Sanyo Electric Co., Panasonic Corp. is currently in talks with about 10 automakers to supply lithium-ion batteries as demand for energy-efficient vehicles grows. The discussions include companies from the U.S., India, Europe and Japan. The world's largest plasma-television maker paid 403 billion yen (US$4.6 billion) to buy control of Sanyo. The company estimates the global lithium-ion battery market will increase fivefold by 2018 from this year. “If demand continues to grow, we have concerns that production capacity might be insufficient," an increase in Japanese electric cars would “make this an issue around 2012 or 2015,” said Naoto Noguchi, president of Panasonic’s battery unit. As a result, Panasonic may expand existing plants or build new ones in conjunction with Sanyo, Noguchi said. The 91-year-old company’s newest battery factory, in Osaka, started making electrodes of lithium-ion batteries in October. The plant will produce 25 million battery cells a month from April, with capacity doubling by October 2011, it said last year. In October, Panasonic said it developed a system enabling lithium-ion batteries used in laptop computers to power electric vehicles and to store energy generated by home-use solar cells. Automakers are shifting to develop electric cars and hybrid plug-in models that use lithium-ion cells, which are lighter and more powerful than nickel-metal hydride batteries currently used in most hybrids. Electric vehicles will comprise 20 percent of the “eco- friendly” car market by 2018, Noguchi said...
The Blu-ray Disc Association (BDA) has announced its plans for incorporating 3D into the Blu-ray Disc format. The BDA, comprised of major motion picture studio, IT and consumer electronics companies, is working on a uniform specification to ensure consistent delivery of 3D content across the Blu-ray Disc Platform. The Association is examining a number of criteria and at a minimum, the specification will require delivery of 1080p resolution to each eye and backward compatibility for both discs and players, meaning that 3D discs will also include a 2D version of the film that can be viewed on existing 2D players and 3D players will enable consumers to playback their existing libraries of 2D content. “Consumer adoption of Blu-ray continues to grow at a very steady pace,” said Bob Chapek, President, Walt Disney Studios Home Entertainment. “The 3D theatrical market has been very successful this year. We are just now seeing all of the true capabilities of 3D and with Blu-ray Disc’s superior technical characteristics, as well as the broad industry support of the format, it makes it the ideal packaged media platform for 3D home entertainment.”
According to the BDA, the rapid consumer adoption of Blu-ray Disc, coupled with the format’s technical capabilities and capacity make it the ideal format for bringing a vibrant 3D experience to consumers. "The BDA intends to take full advantage of the
