CBC Settlement Funding

More companies stop advertising on Al Jazeera America. 159 companies have stopped advertising.

Three more companies have responded to communications from the Florida Family Association office stating that they will not advertise on Al Jazeera America.  No new Fortune 500 companies have advertised since October 6, 2013.

Al Jazeera is a news company that is owned by a non-democratic, monarch styled emirate who does not afford citizens freedom of the press, espouses Islamic Sharia law, backs the head of Hamas and supports the Muslim Brotherhood. 

Florida Family Association tapes ten hours of programing on Al Jazeera America every day.  The Florida Family Association office communicates with each advertiser no less than once per week.  Top advertisers are strategically featured one at a time because there are so few of them. 

Career Education Corporation owned Le Cordon Bleau, 800razors.com and CBC Funding responded to communications from the Florida Family Association office with emails posted below.

David,

Thank you for contacting us.

We purchase blocks of advertising and it is not always specific as to what stations are on the block. Thank you for pointing this out and we will look into it.

Revshare indicated that somehow that spot aired through a Comcast bundle.  We pulled down the entire Comcast relationship.  The spot should be off now but I know there can take a couple of days for tapes to work out of the mix.  Please let us know if you see any others but we are told that we are down.

FYI - see below.  It appears that the number was from an MSO who did have an airing on AJ.  We have confirmed that we will not be running any further.

Best,

All three companies stopped advertising on Al Jazeera America.

Based upon prior situations Florida Family Association does not advocate sending emails of appreciation in these circumstances.  Most of the officials in prior situations asked that their contact information be removed after being overwhelmed with the email volume.

A total of one hundred fifty nine (159) companies have stopped advertising on Al Jazeera America.

• 137 companies stopped advertising on Al Jazeera America after the Florida Family Association office communicated with the companies’ CEOs and Marketing VPs.
• 22 companies stopped advertising after Florida Family Association supporters sent tens of thousands of emails in response to online email campaigns at Floridafamily.org.
• A total of 159 companies stopped advertising after receiving emails from the Florida Family Association office or after receiving thousands of emails from Florida Family Association supporters.
• Not one Fortune 500 company has advertised on Al Jazeera America since Florida Family Association’s email campaigns and airplane banners influenced Procter & Gamble to stop advertising on October 6, 2013.  Only one Fortune 1000 company, Expedia.com, has advertised.
• Only eleven very small companies have advertised during any one week since October 6, 2013.  Approximately fifty companies advertised each week when Florida Family Association started contacting advertisers of the then named Current TV channel in January 2013. 

Florida Family Association is committed to this project for as long as Al Jazeera America is on the air.
