I think there is on terrestrial tv. ITV can only have 4 advert breaks in an hour long programme. It used to be 3, remember when dramas were only in 3 parts not 4! oh the good old days.
The average hour long programme loses 12mins at least in ads.
I don't think there is a limit on Sat. and cable channels.

As I recall, the Congress did away with the laws limiting commercials on TV back in either the early 60's or 70's.

Only on children's and educational programming. the limits on advertising (outside of trading standards and being offensive) have been honed from decades of experience so the first add break will occur just after the title sequence. oh and just before the credits so you think there is more to the story and their aint!

yes, there is. it used to be 7 mins per hour I believe, but this may have changed. You might be able to find something on the subject in this link.
