While I agree its annoying. For me its the principle of the manner. If you hate the volume change, purchase a stereo system that will equalize the output. Or don’t watch channels that participate in this behavior.

I don’t disagree that they’re solving a problem, but it’s something the free market could have, and should have, fixed anyway. There’s no reason for TVs sold these days to not have a way to regulate the extreme decibel changes by themselves. And really it was just a matter of time until that would have been the standard. Without the incentive that badly-made commercials give to do so, though, there’s no reason to innovate in that way and it might not happen.

Glenn makes it sound like government only deals with 1 issue at a time. Do you believe that?

Overblown nonsense from Team Beck. Standardising audio levels isn’t difficult. It isn’t. I work in the industry. It’s not difficult.
Secondly – it’s necessary. Broadcast network technology can be sensitive – send a sudden blast of too loud audio and you can cause damage.
Thirdly – advertisers push for it. They’re paying a lot of money for each second – do you really think they want the consumer to be distracted from their message by having to readjust the volume every 30 seconds? Do you really think that they want to annoy their target audience and thus create an underlying negative feeling?

Preposterous, even by Blaze standards…

PiratePost:

Actually, your post was dead on and I’m betting that most of us, if not all Beck Watchers and listeners hope that GB will take you up on the offer.

Perhaps if you put the procedures on video and then post it on YouTube a lot of the Churches who put their Service on Television would benefit from your 35+ years of knowledge. Whether you are a believer or not, it would benefit a lot of people.
