All streaming services are straight up ignoring FCC broadcast standards. The last sentence in the article shows the totals. Audio levels aside, they show ads for gambling, unlawful "stuff" ads, ads for ICE recruitment, and mixing G-rated kids content with PG content. Whatever excuse they are giving to not paying FCC fines may continue forward with the adage-- "hey, you can't do business in California... unless users want it by staying with the service", and possibly expect a new checkmark box notification in the future again.
streaming isn’t broadcast, ergo they don’t have to follow broadcast standards, so of course they’d ignore them.
another thing that frustrates me in FCC discourse is people claiming equal time used to be enforced for cable—Cable isn’t broadcast either!
Oh yeah, the kids ads thing too. I used to work at a TV station. We had to count up and report ad time in kids shows for every show made for kids.
I have not seen it in Streaming but another one, the ads cannot contain characters for the show airing. The simple example, Pebbles cereal, cannot advertise during a Flintstones episode. If they do, the entire episode is now considered an ad, and running a 20+ minute ad to kids is a huge violation of the time limits.
