They are expected to roll out program next year.

Any guesses on who their leading host(ess) will be?

My $ is on Lisa Robertson. Her 2 year non-compete clause will have been completed by then. 

Just sayin'.


How interesting!  Will definitely have to check that out, I do love Amazon!  Thanks, Vette!  Smiley Happy

Anything is possible in the retail world, but not sure why they would do this.  Also, have always been puzzled as to why some of these show hosts jump around to other channels, if it's not a situation of them moving their residence.  All the ones who left QVC seemed to have not done all that great with their career.  Maybe looks are deceiving.

I think we will hear shortly about Lisa R's future endeavors.  She probably had a 1 year non compete clause in her contract.  I cannot imagine she would agree to two years unless QVC paid her big bucks to stay off the air.

Maybe Lisa would not be a host. I could see her being an executive in  the company. She is a very  intelligent woman. She is holding out for something. I do not think she is waiting this long to be a host again. She must have something good in the works. Can't wait to see what it is.

Re: Amazon launching home shopping television network

OK, whatever. I'm just not a big Amazon or Amazon.ca shopper. Unless it's a book or DVD that I really want or can't find cheaper somewhere else. I think of them as the place of last resort.

 

Especially the Canadian Amazon...there's no way I'm paying those rip off prices with questionable sellers. Not. Gonna. Happen.

While interesting I'll probably not bother.  I like internet shopping.  I look for things I'm interested in now, not when it's going to be on tv.   ITKWD is really the only exception and that's not even every Sunday.
