TV ad

Break between shows

A TV ad is a commercial broadcast on television, typically lasting fifteen to sixty seconds.

The term is informal shorthand for television advertisement: I saw a TV ad for that new medication.

TV ads remain a mainstay of marketing despite competition from online advertising.
