A bit of scripting and mysql knowledge could do this.  Grab a list of 
shows from recorded (http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Recorded_table), 
searching by fields 'chanid' and 'title'. Create a cutlist for one of 
the recordings, and then lookup and duplicate the corresponding lines in 
recordedmarkup (http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Recordedmarkup_table) onto 
the other shows.  Start adding lines into jobqueue 
(http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Jobqueue_table) and you can automatically 
spawn off transcode jobs to do the commercial clipping.  As always, run 
this on dummy recordings until you confirm it works.
