How long (on average) are the commercial break sessions in England television?

Answer 1

Commercial breaks in the UK independent TV system are controlled by an act of parliament. They are allowed between programmes, and during programmes.
For a typical 30 minute programme there will be a 2 minute CB at the start of the hour/half hour a two or three minute CB at about 15minutes into the programme and then a further two or three minute break at the end.
for one hour long programme there are typically two or three commecial breaks whose duration can not be longer than eight minutes.
Even here there are times when some important programmes do not have commercial breaks.
BBC one, two, three and four TV channels do not have commercial breaks they are funded by the licence fee and by BBC Enterprises.

About 4 minutes on average. Approximately every 15 or 20 minutes.
