Dutch television advertising body SPOT is to stop advertisers increasing the sound level of tv adverts above that of the surrounding programming from September 1.


The new rules, advised by the European Broadcast Union, say tv advertising sound levels should be the same as in programming rather than louder, as is often the case.
