Most popular channels keep their commercial volume increase in a good range, but other channels actually keep their regular programming volume low so that the user increases the volume on their end and thus when commercials hit, you feel the pain in your ear drums!!

First, you do a “personal attack” (Ad Hominem Abuse … kill the messenger), which only telegraphs the weakness of your position. Second, then you do an “appeal to emotion” with your “for the children” statement. The world does NOT need or should be child-proof. And the increase of volume wouldn’t EVER hurt a child’s ears. If their TV is so loud that it could, it is already too loud to begin with.
