And it seems to hit different random teams just as much as the Bengals.
I don't work in the television industry, but I have several friends who do. There are 2 kinds of commercial breaks. What you are referring to is a hard break that is scheduled at an exact time and there's no getting around it. Then there are soft breaks where the producers can play around with the timing.
