What is another word for commercial break?
Pronunciation: [kəmˈɜːʃə͡l bɹˈe͡ɪk] (IPA) 
Commercial breaks are a necessary part of television programming, but sometimes they can be too long and disruptive. If you're looking for synonyms for "commercial break" that sound a little more exciting or positive, try "intermission," "half-time," or "interval." These terms suggest a break that's more purposeful and enjoyable, perhaps with a chance to replenish snacks or stretch your legs. For a more colloquial term, some might refer to commercial breaks as "pause for the cause" or simply "the ads." No matter what you call them, commercial breaks are an opportunity for broadcasters to earn revenue and for viewers to catch their breath before the show resumes.
