I’m glad someone brough this up as I have struggled with this myself being fairly new to the industry.
I am putting together a documentary to air on PBS. There standard is here:
http://www.pbs.org/producers/redbook/TOS-1-2010-Submission-to-PBS.pdf
You can see there levels are -26 to -22 dBFS with an allowable peak of -2dBFS for emphasis(with other rules about not overriding dialog). There are different levels for 5.1 programming specified to along with a lot of other information.
Just as information from one “standard”.
