CBS All Access is rolling out a “commercial-free” option, the streaming provider announced Wednesday.

In addition to the existing subscription model of $5.99 a month, subscribers will also have the option to watch CBS All Access’s on-demand content commercial-free for $9.99 per month.

Despite the “commercial-free” label, the service cautions that live-streams of CBS programs will still carry the same commercials from the regular TV channel.

Certain on-demand programs will also still feature “promotional interruptions,” which will be limited to 15 seconds each and will total no more than 30 seconds per half-hour of programming. The promotional interruptions are intended to affect less than 10 percent of all episodes on the service, and less than 20 percent of shows.
