So do I & there are more QVC employees on this board.

I don't envy their job trying to justify the QVC mindset of boring programming.

But a paycheck is a paycheck.

I too have wondered about a few regular posters who never, ever have any problem whatsoever with anything and everything QVC opts to do... and who seem to justify QVC's every action with 'it's their business plan' or 'it works for them' or some similar buzz-phrase... Truth is, they can attempt to justify QVC's programming and product selection all they want, but boring is still boring...

Right Stevieb--they seem to peruse the board to purposely find posts to defend QVC and no matter what the complaint they stick up for the q

Precisely, Ladybug. It's like they seek them out just so they can spew forth the company line...

For the sake of argument, let us assume you ran the shopping network. Each day, you have an item that you want to push hard as you have many of them now sitting in your warehouse and you have gotten a special price on it (giving you a high profit margin). Knowing that many people no longer sit and watch your network for hours and a time, and significant number of viewers on check your channel intermittently as they switch channels, would you show this daily "special" for several minutes only a few times a day or would you show it for extended periods of time many times a day in order to "catch" consumers as they flip by?

There is a reason shopping channels -- all of them -- show their daily specials for these extended periods of time. It is to maximize profits -- not to annoy or bore you.

Thanks, Q, for responding.

Nobody is required to watch QVC every minute of the day.

And pretty clearly most of us don't...

Given the non-existent product mix televised, once in that proverbial blue moon is likely to suffice, unless, of course, one enjoys repetition of items that weren't very interesting to begin with...
