When receiving CM deletion request, the CM data management apparatus transmits, to the pay program reception terminal 102, a program schedule not showing the CM reproduction order. The pay-program reception terminal 102, when its input reception unit 212 receives the CM deletion request from a viewer after its video/audio processing unit 218 reproduces the CM-inserted program, passes the request to the CM data management apparatus, obtains the program schedule, and reproduces the pay program without CMs.;COPYRIGHT: (C)2003,JPO
