Eli5: TV commercials cut out after 1 second and play another?

275 views

Is it a problem in the control room of the TV station? Is it overbooking of commercial spots? Why do I sometimes see a commercial play for about 1 second, and then it cuts out and another compliantly different commercial plays instead?

This may be due to localised broadcasts. In different cities channels show different ads, so every now and then an ad from “original” broadcast slips into.

Actually hard to tell without seeing. 🙂
