What is Loudness Anyway?

Ever watch television and have the sound volume from the commercials blow you out of your chair? Ever wonder why some channels seems so loud and others are so low you have to turn the volume up to hear the sound? These are all issues of television broadcast loudness and there are a lot of people working to solve these problems. Unfortunately there are also a lot of others who don't seem to care as long as they're making money and others who WANT their stuff to be louder than everyone else's.
