Has anyone seen republican commercials or is Ruko only airing for the Democrat party?

Really would like to know why my Ruko cannel has doubled with ad's and every time one is of the Democrat candidate I have yet to see one single ad of the Republicans party.

Has anybody else noticed this?

    No just Democratic. It makes me sick watching only her on ads. At least make it non partial. It pisses me off our media isn't fair anymore. Wtf is our world coming to? We all looked back at our own parents as they were bewildered by changes. I don't have senior disorder lol. These changes have come so fast. We are not in control anymore n our children are being brainwashed. The stupidness is ridiculous!!

      I agree! I happen to be home today watching old movies and the constant Harris commercials are sickening! They are blatant lies and over the top rhetoric. Please stop!

      I have been watching for a Republican commercial for months now. I agree. I have only seen left leaning Democrat ads.

    Roku,

    You have the best streaming player on the market.  That said, If you don't stop broadcasting Kamala Harris for President commercials on Real America's Voice News channel, I will throw both of my Roku Ultras in the garbage.

      Concerned RAV Viewer, 

      I too was so upset with the Kamala Harris Presidential commercials on RAV. The frequency of them are increasing daily. I thought it was RAV broadcasting issue so I reached out to them.

      They claimed they have to give the opposing candidate equal airtime. I wonder when Trump is going to get his airtime. Just because they talk about Trump on their shows is not the same as Trump's Presidential ads. I watch a conservative, Trump loving news station for reason and it is not to support Kamula Harris for President!

        Seeing a commercial is not supporting the advertiser!  The advertiser is paying to support your TV show!!

      I am tired of Roku advertising this group’s campaign adds. They are complete lies and should be banned! I despise liars!

      No kidding. Just bought a ROKU Ultra the other day and it showed up today. Finished setup which was a bit of a pain in the **bleep**. Clicked on 1 of the free movies and sat down to watch it.  Every 30-45 minutes 7 Harris ads IN A ROW popped up. Truthfully it really pisses me off to the point that i may return it. Being a Republican I can not stand to even look at that giggling hyena let alone sit through 7 Harris ads in a row. I bet ya that if Anthony Wood The founder, chairman, and CEO of Roku would find out what they are doing, this **bleep** would stop immediately. Anthony Wood is a HUGE supporter of Mr. Trump and J.D. Vance.

        Anyone who supports Trump is either a fascist, a criminal or just plain ignorant.

        You are so right! We’ve listened to the Democrats BS for years and look where it’s gotten us. 
        Look back in American history and you’ll see how the prosperous times were under Republican leadership.

    No!  I was just saying this last night. All I see is Kamala Harris commercials and I’m sick of it!!!!  I went into settings like Roku said and checked no for political ads and I still see just as many as I did before. I’m very disappointed in Roku clearly pushing for one side!!!  I will no longer recommend Roku to anyone!

      And again, if Republicans are not buying ads, then you are only going to see Democratic ones. Roku can't force anyone to buy ads, and can't really refuse to air any.

      All ads are extremely one sided, whether it's political or for a regular product. The idea is to make what is advertised godlike.

    Maybe Republicans are just not buying ads on the Roku platform?

      So, produce an ad, pay The Roku Channel to show it, and if they refuse, then there might actually be “something going on”.  But I think you’ll find that they’ll be happy to take your money, just like they take anyone else’s money.

      There are constant complaints about ads on Roku.  Too many, too loud, too repetitive, ads for “bad” companies, ads that are annoying, ads for things I don’t want my children seeing…

      But on the same Roku, you can instead watch Netflix, Prime, Paramount+ etc. and never see an ad.  You can be the customer, or the advertiser can be the customer.  If you’re not the customer, you may not enjoy all the customers’ choices, but at least you can console yourself with the fact that you’re not paying for this garbage. 😀

      Ads are purchased and inserted both nationally, and regionally.  If you live in an area that one party or the other thinks they need to really "push", you're likely to see a preponderance of that party's advertising.  Likewise if you live in an area that one party thinks they "have in the bag", you may see little or none of their advertising.
