But they are used in almost every commercial radio station, are they not? ;-) Because they deliver *consistent* loudness. And maybe you didn't notice, but radio stations have a lot of pro equipment sold to them by pro manufacturers. It is simply part of how radio works. If it didn't have consistent loudness, it would be very difficult to listen to the radio given any ambient noise. And much of how this is done would be applicable to "replay gain".
