This month, the Canadian Radio and Telecommunications Commission slammed broadcasters for "loud" commercials- ads that blare louder than the programs they punctuate.
No question, commercials seem louder. People get angry if anyone says otherwise.
But are they actually louder?
"Well" says Keith, "it's not that simple."
Keith explained, I scribbled notes, and Terry O'Reilly explained in this segment of our 2010 episode Ask Terry Some More.
Seems the answer might be more complicated than telling broadcasters to turn down the volume.
"Yeah" I hear you saying, "but they're still louder!"
Keep it down, I hear 'ya. At least, for the moment, we've still got the 'mute' button.
Shhhh! You didn't hear that from me.
Ahh -- that makes sense. Thanks for the insight.
