Is it just me or has the volume on Channel Ten gone way down in recent weeks? If I swap from Fox 8 or something I've got to just about double the volume to be able to hear it.

nothing going on. Just Channel 10 have their broadcast volume a lil higher than the other stations.
Most increase the broadcast volume of their ads when compared to normal programming to make the ads blast your brain further.
They are not meant to do this and recieve token warnings from the ACCC every now and then, but the same thing continues.

I think there was somehting in the news this past week about some new legislation to prevent ads from having a higher volume than the programmes they are played during. ****s me no end when they are louder than something I actually want to watch.

Yeah I think its the same story they trudge out monthly, though nothing ever seems to change.

Yeah the ads aren't louder, but its something like a higher frequency or something. Bloody annoying. I think the SBS ratings go up a bit when the ads come on the other channels.

Different compression on the broadcast for ads I suppose.

Same. Channel 10 here is much louder than any other channel ( all FTA)

Exactly. So it's not actually louder, just mixed so it sounds 'fuller'.
