Do they even have a "control board" at 2 in the morning, or has computer automation taken the overnight shift?

Program playout for broadcast and cable channels is completely automated 24/7 these days. With hubbing and centralcasting there can be dozens, even hundreds of program feeds coming out of the same originating facility. All of this is overseen by very few people, as automation systems are usually pretty reliable.

I suspect in this case a commercial break was not programmed correctly into an automated playlist, or there was a feed mixup.
 
A feed mixup would be my guess. Maybe USA or your provider briefly flipped from the East feed to the West feed.
