Good news for anyone annoyed by loud commercials! California Governor Gavin Newsom signed a law to stop streaming services from playing ads that are louder than the shows and movies you’re watching. Newsom said people made it clear they want commercials at a reasonable volume. Streaming platforms have until July 1, 2026, to comply. This new law builds on a 2010 law that already prevented loud commercials on traditional TV channels.
This new law arrives as many streaming services are now offering cheaper subscriptions that include advertisements. Services like Disney+, Hulu, Peacock, Netflix, HBO Max, Prime Video, and Paramount+ all provide these discounted options to viewers willing to watch ads and save money each month—and those savings can really add up if you subscribe to several services. Starting next year, viewers who haven’t paid for ad-free plans won’t have to deal with disruptive, loud commercials while watching shows like *The Pitt*.
