@Shanus- the reasoning, no....but it's another channel like QPlus which will be hosted by Elise and Alberti ....the hours escape me but if you go to the "program guide" where you select "live" or Q plus, Beauty IQ is there as a section for further info....all carriers will not have the station...posters and the hosts stated there is a place to put in your zip code to see the channels available in your area, But, i have not found that myself....I'm really not interested and the whole concept is puzzling, the choice of hosts a bit odd....I like Alberti but a waste of a good host and Elise is rather new but seems nice and a good host but why not Sandra? Courtney? Tho if I were watching I'd prefer Elise. I believe you can view online and direct tv at present...

I can't see my carrier offering a channel devoted to beauty....but, maybe QVC live airtime won't be wasted on all day beauty shows....maybe more time for vacuum cleaners ugh!

Does this mean that QVC live will no longer present beauty items?

This morning at the end of the Susan Graver Show Alberti announced this was his last day on the regular Q channel. He said he starts this Wednesday night on BeautyIQ Channel. I'm a little sad to see him leave regular Q because I enjoyed his jewelry shows as well as other shows he did. Guess BeautyIQ will be live most week nights and rest of the time pre recorded like QVCPlus Channel. He mentioned watching it online on our tablets, etc. I wondered same thing about whether regular Q Channel will be phasing out of Beauty shows.

I am excited for this as I only watch beauty shows so this is perfect for someone like me and to have my favorite host on it-Alberti-makes it even better. It isn't a "waste" of a good host for those of us who love beauty shows! I have no idea who the other host is. Never seen her before.

I don't watch the beauty shows....so another channel would be fine with me if they still didn't give so much time to beauty on the regular QVC channel.............but i think they will still present alot of beauty products/items regularly......they should bring Sandra and Jackie to that channel as they seem to enjoy working the beauty shows more then the other themed shows........think Alberti should stay with the regular QVC channel.........Haven't been impressed w/Elise............I am sure alot of the senior hosts don't want to go to the newer station and have to talk beauty products for hours on end without any diversity in products.....

I doubt the Q will phase out beauty on the main channel. Beaity iQ isn't availabe on most cable systems (or on Dish Network), and it's only live 20 hours a week (8-midnight, Wednesday-Sunday). The Q makes too much money via its beauty product (close to a fifth of its revenue comes from beauty), so phasing it out on the main channel would be a poor financial decision.

I don't know if they'll stop beauty on the Q channel but I LOVE the new Beauty IQ channel. Why? It's MUCH more laid back. You really get to see the personality of the vendor WITHOUT the hard sell that is normal on the Q. The setting is very calming. It reminds me of QVCUK's beauty channel. You learn far more about the product as well.

Love it!!

@BeautyDiva,

Right now, DirecTV, U-Verse, and I believe Roku are showing the station, but you can also watch via QVC.com or the phone/tablet apps, and when the channel is live (Wed-Sun, 8-midnight Eastern), you can watch via the Facebook page and join in on the chat. The chat is very interactive -- Alberti and Elise encourage questions about the products and will answer them during the broadcast.

I very much doubt that, as BeautyIQ is mostly repeat content and isn't even available on TV in most markets right now.

Just don't see the purpose of it.

I think that Beautyiq is probably a nice opportunity for Alberti. I miss him on the regular Q. However, to be a lead host on a niche channel that is experimenting with some of the ways to make TV more interactive and "cutting edge" in delivery seems like a great opportunity for him.

Beauty IQ is on Dish channel 9646 in the Sacramento California area.

I just found it a couple of days ago when a poster said it was on dish 73. I watched a little and turned it on the next day and it was a repeat of what I saw the day before. Then I turned it on again later and it was doll cosmetics and someone did her whole face spending forever on one product demonstration. I don't think this will be a channel I will watch.

So far it appears BIQ is going to have the same sort of repeats as you see on Q Plus. I've seen l/2 dozen tutorials repeated all the time. There is the social media brought into the tutorials with beauty questions all through the tutorial. Mally is on practically daily with a repeat.

The show is very new and need lots of help along the selling lines. They run what's for sale on a bottom runner while the tutorial is on.

I think if the Q didn't come up with something very interesting for Alberti, they would lose him. Time will tell on the Q's selection of Alberti and the very new Elyse(?) to run the shows, although they're quite attractive together.

I hope the Q just doesn't let this wither away like Q Plus has done. It seems to me the Q comes up with an idea like Q Plus, but then doesn't nurture it, advance it and expand on it. Then, it just flounders and is all a repeat of the same old, same old as the Q, which is not doing well right now.

My cable does not carry it and it is a bother to see it on my computer. They should be on the main Q at least one day a week.

@HappyDaze I think you'll love it Wendsday thru Sunday, 8:00- 12:00 pm EST they're live. Alberti is as expected, delightful! Elise is full of herself these days but better than any of Q's other options. Btw she worked for three years on a luxury cruise line. Her soothing voice and people skills make her the perfect candidate for the job.

@CoG unfortunately my Dish does not carry the channel. I am hoping they do eventually but it doesn't even have QVC in HD so I'm not holding my breath that they will even get the beauty iq channel.
