The ION channel most of the time

Even in the apps installed on the Roku. Like Fubo

Ads for McDonalds, Gain, Swiffer, Mr. Clean, Tide, Coors, many more..

I believe that is what simulcasting is for..  Also, what is the purpose for selecting our language setting if it is going to be ignored? This didn't used to be an issue, so what changed? It seems political..

They are pushing ads in the Spanish language in order to cater to the millions of illegal aliens invading America under the corrupt Biden administration. They believe they are future democrat voters, that's why they are being allowed to enter and made comfortable. It all needs to stop!

Re: Spanish Commercials on Roku

Okay, Roku! You are losing subscribers and you don't seem to care. This is America, we speak English. There are many Spanish channels available for those who want to live here yet not learn the language of our country, so WHY are the rest of us stuck with all these Spanish commercials? After two YEARS of negative comments. Do we need to start calling your advertisers directly and telling them that we are now boycotting them specifically and leaving Roku? I have already called several companies to let them know that if people want to shave their groin areas, fine, but I don't need to watch their commercials on, in the middle of the day while young children are watching!

Re: Stop the spanish ads on english language chosen content!!!!

As long as English is our national language, it should be the only language used in commercials. There was a time when the people who immigrated here would want to learn the English language quickly and become Americans. When my great grandparents immigrated here from Germany in the early 1800’s, they learned English as quickly as they could. By the time my Grandmother was born, no German was spoken in the house because they were “Americans” and so they spoke English. I feel that if you want to become a citizen then you should speak our language. If I went to live in a foreign country, my first project would be learning their language. I would never make them speak English to me.

That is the first positive comment from an entity associated with Roku, Please push for change, The technology is available to use, They just have to put aside their current "woke"  ideology like most of America, and think logically before choosing to conform, Apply common sense principals when decisions are rendered, And keep in mind that we the people of this great nation deserve much better than what we have endured these last few years, It is our turn to be happy, secure, and content. Its time to put America and its citizens first, We are indivisible, with liberty and justice for the select few whom live in a red state, Who also acknowledges the biological fact that a man is a man and a woman is a woman...

Thank you, I am quite sure there are many more that are annoyed but do not have the time to post. Should conduct a member survey explicitly targeted to likes and dislikes regarding foriegn language ads, Its just a slap in the face and a perfect display of DEI and wokeism in America, and should not be allowed in our personal entertainment collection. Your ADS department or I should say those responsible for this act of betrayal should be terminated. This is America, We speak, read, and write English. What dont you understand !
