Please STOP the Spanish commercials! This is ridiculous! We live in the USA and speak English!   Would I go live in a spanish speaking country and 'force' them to start watching EVERY SINGLE COMMERCIAL IN SPANISH??????? I don't think so.....

Amen!!

Maybe we need a petition for this? Those commercials are still being aired!

Ok... then how do we get English back for our commercials over Spanish?

The frustrating part is that I switched to streaming to avoid commercials (English or Spanish) and now most streaming services have adopted commercials anyway. Regardless if Americans choose to learn other languages or not (I personally would love to learn several) you are 100% correct that some Americans appear silly when they travel to other countries where English isn’t spoken & they make a fool of themselves. That example points to the argument that I & others are trying to make, when Americans or any other language speaking people travel or move to other countries they should not expect the entire country they are visiting or moving to will change their language, tv ads, grocery store aisles, products, etc in order to appease English speaking visitors or transplants. I personally have lived in Germany & Turkey & know for a fact they would have laughed all of the Americans & other English speakers completely out of their countries if any of us would have expected everything to be changed in order for us to be able to read labels or understand everything people were saying. With all that being said companies, including streaming services, in America should keep product lines, streaming platforms, etc in line with the majority who live there & pay for their goods/services. It’s just plain ole common sense.

We just got Roku recently but these Spanish ads are upsetting. I live in America not Mexico. Our language is English. Maybe they need to learn English to watch American Tv

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..
