I don't see a channel called Laff, so could you tell us what channel you're using to see this? Most likely you would need to contact whomever offers that channel.

That said, I did look up Laff TV, and they are a content provider that is usually found on secondary OTA TV station channels. So I am assuming you are watching it through Sling or some other TV provider. In that case, it's possible that the problem is with Laff TV itself. It looks like you can get support from Laff here.

@BorglimeMopeZ 

LAFF TV is mostly carried as a subchannel on broadcast stations around the country.  It is also carried by streamers Sling and frndly.

Most such services have set commercial break times where the carrying systems can insert their own commercials.    Most have "fillers" they put into these break times for when the local carrier has not sold the ad time to anybody.  They fill the time with a static screen, promotional ads for other programs carried on the station, or some other short content.

Great - thank you all for the near instant and very helpful replies.

In fact I misspoke - I was referring to Roku Live TV's "Laff more!" offering and not "Laff TV", which yes - I do receive from one of my local broadcast affiliates.   

Either way, I guess I should be thankful I can now watch Laff TV content on Roku - WITHOUT the annoying ads (just the much less annoying empty space commercial interruptions).

OK, I will!OK, I will!

Both Laff! & Laff More! are part of the Scripps network, Laff More! appears to be Stream Only availability.
