The announcer/producer/anchor making decisions about commercials? 
That's the job of the traffic department, we in master control get 
our instructions from them.  If someone in news wants a commercial 
killed or moved, they have to go through traffic.

The airline commercials are usually killed by the airlines (through 
their ad agencies) themselves, the station would still be under 
contract to air them otherwise.
