Question

Who made the deal that allows commercials to be louder than content?

Answer 1

I cured that problem easily.

I don't watch TV.

Boy, my life is so great now.

Answer 2

I don't know, but they are annoying aren't they? >=/

Answer 3

It is against FCC regulations to have commercials louder than the program you are watching but I think they still do it.

This article says increase in volume is perceived and the commercials are not actually louder. Just processed to seem that way.
