[10,000 Volt Ghost]

I've only noticed this happening recently. Is it common to go to a commercial in the middle of a show or sports game during the action?

A few of the hockey games I've watched over the past few weeks on cbc have gone into commercial in the middle of play. Like during a breakaway it cut right into a commercial about detergent. Then followed by 3 more commercials. By the time they were done 3-4 minutes ran out in the game. Possibly a goal.

What's up with that?
