This is very annoying. Apparently Pandora has more Spanish speaking listeners in my area than English. I get. Orr Spanish ads than English.
that balcony about the ad operations team working on a solution. I have a solution - cut down the number of Spanish speaking ads.

Hi, everyone!
Thanks for writing in and offering your feedback about the Spanish ads playing on your stations.
We do our best to deliver ads to our significant number of Spanish-speaking listeners based on the small amount of demographic info that we collect when you register a Pandora account. This is limited to gender, age, and postal code, as well as some of the stations you create on your account. Sometimes, however, our estimates are incorrect and Spanish ads are delivered to the wrong listeners. We're sorry if this has been creating a negative experience for you.
If you are receiving Spanish ads on your account, we're happy to look into it for you.
The next time a Spanish ad plays on your account, please send over:
Thanks for working with us on this.

Same issue here. Was wondering the same, i have never even listened to a single spanish station on my account so this makes no sense.
Same issue here. Would recommend a toggle in profile so Language preference could be chosen.
Same here. We listen to latin music but do not care for the spanish ads.
Same here. I don’t speak Spanish and getting Spanish ads.
Why is this listed as a “solution” when the short version of what you said is “deal with it until we decide it’s important enough to fix?”
This. This is why people use adblockers. I don't even understand what they're trying to sell me lol
Stop with the Spanish ads.
I give pandora Performance A f rating because it does not work no one is trying to fix it
I have a 'ski' at the end of my username. Why not send me ads in Polish?
Not that I would understand them, but I don't understand the Spanish ads either!
Please fix.
I’m a bit confused as to why the commercials aren’t more directed towards the customer base. Listening to country music and hearing Spanish commercials seems as though I’m being told Pandora doesn’t want me to listen any longer.
where is the opt-out of Spanish ads? My default language is set to English. Please fix ASAP, before I opt-out of Pandora.
also same pls fix...the language pref switch is a excellent idea! really bugs me to be hearing ads in a language i dont speak!
I came here looking for a way to complain about the same thing. Ever time a Spanish speaking ad comes on, I remove ear bud. Then hours later I remember I took it out. When I go back the same as is playing, I change the channel every time.
should be a setting somewhere for people to turn it on or turn it off.
Same here! Do not speak and understand Spanish but I get Spanish ad?!
THIS is not a solution. THIS is an excuse. THIS is ripe with age, as its now over 90 days old!!
READ ME!!! I think I found a solution/work around to fix this issue. I changed my zip code to a different city and state. No more Spanish ads!! I drove all the way from Florida back to New York over 18 hours of listening without one Spanish advertisement. I did get a local grocery store ad for Kroger’s which was in that local area. It’s been 3 days, so far so good, big shout out to Bluffton, SC!
You're a genius!
"Big Picture". These ad's are falling on def ears. Someone is paying for these spots.
