I agree entirely Sue.

It's not just you, Sue. Its one of those things that annoy us as well especially as we (I) tend to have the volume up quite loud anyway.
TBH, If I'm having an afternoon power-nap, I prefer to have the radio on. There's less temptation to open one eye to see what's going on.

Does anyone find that channels have their volume settings different to each other?

I am one of those awkward people who have to go to sleep with noise.

When I have my senile nap I switch on the TV and choose a programme which I can listen to before I nod off.

I set the volume so I can hear what's being broadcast but not too loudly.

Fine until the ad break when the pre set volume rises enough to wake the dead.

Why is it necessary for this? It seems acceptable that broadcasters are happy for me to sleep through the actual chosen programme but not sleep through the annoying adverts.

Yes, I could choose one of the BBC channels but they are boring!

At night I stick ear pugs in and listen to an audio book, out of consideration for hubby.

Just a general gripe and it may only be me but when watching TV with hubby quite often we have to turn down the volume during the ad breaks.

I am sure I will need to wear my aluminium hat shortly so 'they' cannot fry my brain cells.
