In Australia there's the OP-59 loudness spec that any piece of broadcast content has to meet. It dictates maximum average loudness level across the program as well as short term loudness and true peak loudness. It's also the standard in the UK I believe. Is there not a similar spec for TV in America? If I mixed something for TV here and it didn't meet the OP-59 standard it would get rejected by the broadcaster.

We also need that for brightness. The brightness on Amazon Prime TV ads is painful. I literally hide under a blanket until they are done.
