QVC and QVC2 Changes This Week

Caaareful Shopper — Mon, 16 Mar 2020 23:36:35 GMT

I'm not sure if this has been discussed before, but have there been changes to QVC2 this week?

With all the very sensible changes QVC has made regarding social isolation, I think I also noticed in the Program Guide that QVC2 this week is all recorded programming. Except for the 9:00pm Big Deal show, there do not seem to be any Live shows all day on Q2 this week, starting tomorrow.

Other changes on QVC main are no makeup artists in the studio for the hosts. Hosts are doing their own makeup and hair for a while.

Less models in each show.

Only one host for today's Gourmet Food show.

Good move.

@Kachina624. Yes. But starting tomorrow, and the rest of the week, it just looked like the show names repeat in the Program Guide, and there are no host names. The 9:00pm show does seems live tomorrow,but the rest of tomorrow seems different. I guess we'll soon find out. I just wondered if Q2 is going all recorded soon.

Oh, really? TV off at the mention of Jane T? I love her perkiness and her personal references, ESPECIALLY NOW. Something else to listen to other than the hysteria of the virus. It's comforting.🌻🌷

@Caaareful Shopper Louis del'Olio posted earlier today on Facebook that his Linea shows (Tuesday and Wednesday) have been canceled. QVC will stop programming on Q2 beginning Tuesday in order to keep their employees safe from this virus by providing them time to spend at home with their families and away from other people.

Makes sense. This is a dangerous time for everyone. The less contact people have with others, the better chance of bringing this contageous virus to a halt. It's going to take weeks (or months) since our country was not prepared for such an outbreak, unfortunately. Everyone needs to hunker down and live their lives as cautiously as possible.

This is serious! If you do make a trip to the grocery store, call your neighbors and ask if you can pick up items for them. The fewer people out and about, the safer for everyone.

QVC will end up all recorded programming. For sure.

QVC is in Pennsylvania and the Governor yesterday afternoon ordered all non essential businesses to close. I'd say QVC is non essential.

@BirkiLady Thank you so much for that information! Glad I wasn't crazy about the Live programming change. Good to know.

[I wasn't sure where this thread was going for a while there.]

I thought I was imagining things too....although I saw a live program yesterday....I also noticed LOTS of recorded shows on Q2.... and heard Amy talk about doing their own makeup and hair on the main channel on Fashion Night In.....

And did anyone see Rick host a Dooney & Burke Show....

This is a FB Post today from Marie Louise Ludwig, one of the kitchen/food vendors who regularly appears on QVC:

"...by now you probably know that QVC is going to be using tape only on QVC2 effective today. I applaud them for so many measures they are taking to try and keep all of us safe. So far, all in house employees are working from home. All host meetings are done by email or phone. A ton of sanitation and preventatives. Many of us local guests will be standing in for regulars so they do not have to travel."

I actually thought Amy looked better than ever. I thought I heard her say she did her own hair and makeup. JRT said she did hers as well. Note to Q..... They looked so much better!

@Caaareful Shopper I didn't know what was going on either. Glad she removed her snarky comment. All is good with this thread.

Awwww I love Jane Treacy...she should start her own web site or something like that cuz her clothes are so beautiful especially her special occasion gowns...I know she didn't get them from QVC....she wears them well

Re: QVC and QVC2 Changes This Week

Montebello Lady — Wed, 18 Mar 2020 03:01:25 GMT

I saw Rick do the Dooney & Burke and he was great ...a fresh approach cuz those bags are stale...they keep showing the same bags from 10 years ago...maybe longer

@Montebello Lady, I'm a JT fan too! Not sure why she gets so many negative comments from folks when she is just doing her job with a very positive attitude!! 😀
