commercials
You know when you see a commercial for a product and then there's another commercial in the middle (for something else) and then there's a little follow-up to the first commercial (generally much shorter). Anyone know the name for this in English?

I'm sure that people who work in television advertising have a name for this. These are two options from a purely logical/semantic point of view.

tail
"Top & Tail - to 'top and tail' commercials is to have one commercial play at the start of a commercial break and a second to play at the end of the break. The commercials can vary in length to each other. Top and Tailing is an effective way to reiterate the message to listeners."
Discussion
Using a new technique called "playlisting," the dynamic system cues commercials to run right before or just after a selected chunk of on-demand programming stored separately from the ad files.
