Every commercial I've ever produced (around one hundred) had to conform to an audio level set by the networks. What happens when the network techs load it on a cart is hard to say, but there is a defined standard for the original. Similarly there are other standards for colors, contrast levels and other variables that must be adhered to. When we were doing red cars for Dodge advertising, we couldn't make them as red as we wanted to. The network maximum red was somewhat of a weak suck to my eye.
