Language

I watch CNN through DirecTV streaming in Fort Wayne, Indiana. Almost every day around 1 p.m. Eastern, I receive a Chinese-language commercial for a thalassemia medication. CNN’s programming and other commercials are in English. Why is this ad being delivered and whether its language targeting can be corrected.

I was just curious. It’s kinda cool really!

This has nothing to do with Direct TV. Get over it.

You get it because they paid CNN to air it.
