Program Guide??

Patriot3 — Wed, 02 Oct 2019 23:39:24 GMT

What is with the program guide for the next two weeks that I just printed off? It shows a TSV program at midnight, a different show at 1 AM and then the same midnight show from 2 AM to 7 AM, every day.

Does this mean there are going to be reruns from 2 to 7???

@SunnysMom If you pull up the guide, you will see it is like what I mentioned starting on monday, 10/7. Yes, on Saturday 10/12 it is D/B from 12m to 7a, but look at M-F.

On Mon, 10/7, Belle by Kim Gravel is on at midnight, followed by shoe shopping and then back to Kim Gravel until 7am. It's like that all week w/different vendors.

That's why it looks like they will have reruns until 7am.

The program guide didn't go past 10/20, so I wonder if this will be a new thing and why??

I just hope that they are not cutting out 24 hour shows, which they did on HSN.

@stellabystarlight At a glance, it sure looks like the might be going that way, at least on weekends. Sad.

Uh oh. They did this a while back, as I recall. They went to overnight reruns. People didn't watch and they went back to the main channel being live 24/7. Wow, BIG mistake!

If they go that route they will also prune the host roster, which HSN did.

I think that the newest batch will be thinned out substantially.

Certainly they are cutting costs by cutting live hours.
I have always believed that some of the long time hosts left due to cuts, not the employee being cut but the salary being cut. Now, assuming less hours of operation, it makes more sense. Rerun shows, less costs, and less revenue (sales), lead me there.

Going on the cheap.

Hope I'm wrong but the program guide sure looks ominou

This might be why they moved Katrina out, to give her exposure on PMS when the overnight hours are cut. Ali Carr also.

Very ominous for a number of the others.

That looks odd. Even if they go to pre-recorded shows from 2AM to 7AM, why show the exact same show hour after hour? Five exact shows one after the other??? Even their pre-recorded channel, Q3, shows different shows to mix it up. Strange.

HSN does it this way. Repeats the same program over and over and over.

@Johnnyeager Wow! I did not know that. Bizarre. Thank youfor that info.

Looking at the scheduling for hosts on Q1 it looks like Rachelle MacCray, Courtney Webb, Julia Cearley and Terri Conn or Kristine Zell may be in trouble. Hours phased down significantly and then none.

Change seems to be in the air indeed.

They recently got rid of Sloane Glass, the QVC beauty correspondent. Her IG page said she was very sad to leave QVC, so it seems it was a corporate decision, not just her leaving for greener pastures. Her last appearance is tomorrow (she is typically on youtube, FB and IG in QVC beautfy videos).

They gave Katrina S. a prime-time spot with PM Style; they gave Kristine Z. a sidekick opportunity with Alberti's new Home Show.

I did check my Optimum Cablevision Guide and I went and selected a future date. I started with Oct. 9 through Oct. 12th and live shows are featured. So maybe the Q doesn't have hosts lined up yet.

My Comcast Guide shows different shows at that time too.
So heres hoping!!!!

That seems really odd that the cable guides show a variety of programs and the Q guide does not. One would think that the Q guides would be the most reliable. Hmm.

Different live programs are scheduled during those hours on Comcast's program guide. Updated at 4:00 am today.

If that is the case, it appears that qvc is in financial trouble and will no doubt terminate host positions. Doesn't surprise me, customers have been complaining for over 9 months about delayed shipping, bad customer service, delay in processing, and delay in processing credits. QVC made a big mistake thinking they were the only game in town and didn't have to recify all the problems that has caused them to go on a death spiral, in my opinion. Buying HSN to cut off the competition, apparently wasn't a good business decision, nor is the decision to keep the CEO in his position. Not heartbroken, but sad for the hosts. Qvc is an unstable company, perhaps longtime hosts should start looking for another job
