Explanation: A TV show or movie needs a lot of range in volume: car crashes are supposed to be louder than normal conversation etc.
A commercial can and usually does employ a technicque called compression to make all parts of it as loud as possible without distortion.
Now if the thus treated commercial is as loud as the loudest bits in the show/movie, it’s still too loud.
No need:
Given the Golden State’s massive sway in the entertainment industry, the new law may strong-arm streamers into shushing commercials nationwide.

Yeah we have a solution for that already.
It’s called the volume knob.

They’ll use the cable TV argument, they’re not turning the volume up they’re increasing the amplitude.

Yeah I mean there was a law passed for TV promising the same thing, and if you watch broadcast TV the commercials are still way louder.
