I don't dispute that except that a) in Europe, I've never seen a dynamic of any sort in any kind of broadcast situation and b) there's a difference between an "announcers" mic and the kind of mic used for commercial recording of radio and TV commercials. You're right on about "pretty compressed" though!

There's "voiceovers" and there's "voiceovers". I can only speak from my experience, which is fairly hyped radio and TV commercials.
