Oh, don't get me wrong. I know about all that. What I'm saying, specifically, is that TNT and TBS play their movies at a markedly lower volume than any other programming, including advertising. Go to Discovery Channel, Food Network, ABC, CBS, etc etc etc, and compare audio levels for the latest sitcom to the content on TNT or TBS.
Our television shows not just an indicator bar, but also a number indicating current volume. To watch "Eureka" on Sci-Fi, I can set the volume to, say, 25. To watch "Die Hard" on TNT, or any movie for that matter, the volume has to sit on at least 45.
Lower volume for content = higher volume for ads. Same bang, no fines, is all I'm sayin'.
