Re:Another law so full of loopholes that it's usel (Score 1)

Which is why this was created as an act of congress, not by the FCC. The FCC was then asked to administer it. It most certainly does apply to broadcast, cable and satellite television distribution networks. One open area -- which I think has been resolved -- is whether this applied to network promos for their own shows, e.g., when you see an ad on the Superbowl for the David Letterman show. Several networks applied for this exemption but the folks that drafted the law said it was always their intent to include network promos, see: http://www.broadcastingcable.com/article/489143-Eshoo_CALM_Act_Meant_to_Apply_to_Promos.php
