Actually I lie since I never ever ever watch a film on Spanish TV precisely because of the length of the adverts. There was a move in Spain to cut them down but the last time I looked they could go on for over 20 minutes at a time. This person's mother clearly has a brain.
FVS (X) Jun 8, 2011:
Of course, she is zapping when the adverts are on. I do the same. It's not adverts FOR but IN or DURING the film.

Maybe Im wrong but I got the impression that this sentence does not refer to the film being advertised rather to the ads that are shown in the middle of the film.

Spanish term (edited): durante la publicidad de la pelicula de la autonómica

when the regional TV film ads came on


That's about as natural sounding as I can make it in UK English.

Example sentence:

A mi madre le dio por hacer zapping <u>durante la publicidad de la pelicula de la autonómica</u>.

My mother started zapping <u>when the regional TV film ads came on</u>.
