To find the median, we first need to arrange the data in ascending order:
12, 13.5, 14, 14.5
Since there are 8 data points, the median will be the average of the 4th and 5th data points:
(14 + 14.5) / 2 = 14.25
So, the median number of minutes of commercials during hour-long TV shows is 14.25 minutes.
