Commercials
Commercials are advertising programs generally under three minutes in length and intended for use on broadcast and cable television, foreign, theatrical, industrial (jumbotrons, etc.), Internet (including webisodes) or new media (which includes emerging platforms). Commercials longer than three minutes are subject to separate bargaining between the Union and Producer.
