Actually if you listen to the commercial stations, and many bbc ones you
might be forgiven for thinking that real engineering of sound is a
thing of the past. its all left up to automatic computer controlled
systems that make a hash of it these days.

Indeed. Although TV - with its much larger operating budget - is a bigger
offender than radio. With HD services being the worst.
There's lots of talk about producing a meter which gives a true indication
of loudness. Since 'they' apparently can't even read a PPM, what
difference will that make? In any case, the best 'meter' to use is ears.
