Florida Family Association sent out an email alert late the evening of June 18, 2013 which reported that Foster Grant was a new advertiser on Al Jazeera America aka CurrentTV.  The alert encouraged readers to send emails to six officials at the parent company FGX International.  FGX International did not respond to the thousands of emails they received from the first alert so Florida Family Association sent out a second alert midday on June 20, 2013. 

FGX International responded with the following email and email exchange:

Dear Mr. Caton:

FGXI advertising ran on the Al Jazeera America network in error.  FGXI had placed an advertising schedule with Current TV in 2012 when Current TV was owned by Current Media, LLC - an American owned company. Upon the sale, Current TV was relaunched as Al Jazeera America. We have never

purchased advertising on Al Jazeera America.   We have no plans to advertise on Al Jazeera America going forward.

Sincerely,

Gina Lazaro
EVP, Marketing
