Why do all the ad-breaks coincide

During an ad-break if you try to flip to any other commercial station to see what's on, the other stations are also having their ad-breaks.
Is there some sort of agreement reached between all the commercial stations to have all ad-breaks at the same times .

What bugs me is im watching GOLD they go to a ad break when they come back I flip over to another station and then 5 seconds later ad breaks.
1st sensible reply.
I think there is some truth in what you say but they can't take a break say exactly after 15 mins. They usually stop for ads when there is a natural break in a quiz or story.
Think the natural break in the story applies to some like first run ITV drama,
However not always the case as on Five they seem to have fixed times for the breaks, as you see the jumps in the show where there was obviously a break in the US and they don't always coincide.
