See..you need a WITNESS. If you call the police about a possible crime they will come & investigate. If they don't know about it, how are they going to know to come and check it out?

Also your complaint to the FCC will require documentation & PROOF. Not just merely your personal gripe that you think the spot is too loud. It is most likely that the FCC will reject 99.999% of all complaints for various reasons, most of them centered on lack of PROOF.

Also..those who are going to complain about cable companies are going to have an extremely tough time because cable only re-transmits other signals. They have no control over what comes down the line, nor can they filter it with any real effectiveness. Now with that said, the local cable companies DO sell local spot avails and for those spots they WILL be liable for. However. once again, you will need documented PROOF..not just your personal gripe.
