When was the last time anyone watched Saturday Night Live? I managed to stomach it this past weekend; after every skit there was at least a 2.5 minute commercial block, mind you, the skits aren't anymore than 5 minutes, tops. I was suprised when I watched a bit of SNL just recently... It seems that they break for a few commercials, then return to the show, showing the set, and you hear some of the stage direction audio, then they break for a few more commercials again! What was that about?

That is a mid break id for the stations. Very common in a large chunk of commericial time to keep the viewer tuned to the show or to attract a channel surfer who has just tuned in. Sometimes it is also used to denote local commercial time in local markets...
