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

279 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?

I had this problem watching Babylon 5 reruns, although in my case the commercials were playinh over the show. Called the local TV station and got a tech who was intrigued and figured it out. Network vs local commercials that were stepping on each other. He fixed it and I never had the problem again.
