Depends...
If their are local avails, it might well be nothing, or it might be
"cued" for local insertion, it might be what you said below, or might be
something else... But there are a large number of (Network) commercials
that are part of the feed...seamless stream if you will...

Here is a silly question.
When the local broadcaster gets a network feed for a prime time show,
what is in the feed during the time the commercials will be inserted?
Dead air? Some network ID?
This came up in conversation and the only side I knwo is the MSO side.
thanks!
