CNN absolutely has control. CNN could vote with their dollars and use a different ad platform.

Which other ad server and ad intermediation service would you recommend?

I don't know, I'm not in the business of specifying and choosing ad services.

I think you could name multiple competitive players in lots of areas that aren't your core business. You can't name any others in ad services because Google is a monopolist.

Anyway, the other options are:

- They run their own ad platform - They don't run ads
