Yes, as mandated by the stations themselves and the content producers that demand a certain number of minutes per time-slot for their material. Depending on jurisdiction, there are differing (negotiated) limitations on commercial content. Most North American content (U.S. and Canada) allows 9 minutes of non-programming activity per half hour (18 minutes per hour). Some special interest stations are continuous commercial content with no programming at all. And cable-only channels sometimes have equal quantities of commercials and programming, presenting 9 minutes of a movie, alternating with 9 minutes of commercials.
