Should Television Ad Volume Be Equalized?

Should Television Ad Volume Be Equalized?

Back in March of 2008, I went on a tear about the loud volume of commercials on our television sets.

We all know it, but networks say it isn’t so.  Television stations drink the fruit punch and then say that ads are not louder than the program, but that they only sound louder.  Duh!

Technically they are correct – just like the statement that it’s not the flame that hurts your finger, it’s the heat generated by the flame. Sorry TV guys, but the source is the source and that’s that.  You can use whatever words you like, but you still look the fool trying to make us think you’re right.

Television commercial volumes (I’m using TV as my common reference) are too loud and without a doubt, we know it, but according to your local television station, they effectively insult us by telling us we are wrong.
