PROGRAMMING

grooms — Thu, 19 Mar 2020 20:47:30 GMT

QVC what the heck are you doing? Why is SG the only fasion items you have been showing in the past week with an occasional LG and Jane and her shoes! Even HSN advertised Diane Gilman and when going onto that - there was HSN showing some stupid home and garden stuff. There is occasionaly beauty products but most stupid home stuff and where are the clothes - that is - D&C - Halston etc. Boy are you drowing and with this upcoming recession and unemployment I see a possibly another bankruptcy. Thank you though - the only purchases I have are my auto deliveries of vitamins, toothpaste, etc .

Tomorrow is even worse. All day beauty. I won't even turn on QVC tomorrow.

All day beauty? Oh my. Well, that's why we have QVC2 and 3.

I thought QVC3 was always beauty? I mean, I don't know, I'm asking.

As much as I love QVC they seem completely out of touch during this pandemic. It just seems silly to be ordering chachkies ( a Pineapple ?!?!?) right now. Im sorry. I am keeping dollars close to the vest and only buying essentials.

@Reever QVC customers are made up of lots of different people, income levels, etc....they are a selling channel, so they will contiue to do what they do until the no longer can....I don't understand how they are supposed to act.

I received an e-mail explaining the change in programming, which is due to the virus. Probably the only reason that Susan Graver is the only fashion being shown is that she lives nearby and the Q likes to have vendors help to present their clothing. That is probably also true for Denim & Co. Any vendor who would need to fly into the area will certainly not do so under the current conditions.

I may be wrong but I would think qvc hosts could present merchandise w/o the vendors present. I've seen them do it before.

@Mom2Dogs - I agree with your statement.

I agree with @Krimpette -- I think it's inappropriate right now to be selling self-tanner. Just my opinion................

Agree - QVC must have huge margin on product lines for Susan Graver, Denim & Co, Barefoot Dreams, Women w Control, Anybody, Logo, Quacker, and Isaac......same product lines over and over and over......unless I am missing something QVC used to have more variety. Only one I have had success with is IM and even then it is hit or miss (for most part I stick to his T-shirt's now that I know which fabric/style is good and which to avoid).

The world and our lives don't have to end because of the pandemic. If someone buys a little something like this, perhaps it gives them a feeling of normal. I've been stuck in my house and my son is doing my grocery shopping because I'm in a higher risk group and it gets tough at times. Thank goodness I can still walk my dog 3-4 times a day. Mental health is just as important as physical health during this crisis.

We dont know how much of the Q's supplies they are getting, they may have to be "filling in" with what they have.

Stop being so selfish and critical during these trying times.

I figured this out on my own, did they make an announcement about this, just wondering.

I don't understand why anyone would be confused or extremely critical about programming right now. We (the world) are facing a crisis we've never dealt with before. Just look around, our world has been turned upside down and sideways. It's going to be awhile before things get back to normal.

Re: PROGRAMMING

spursfan2 — Sat, 21 Mar 2020 19:50:17 GMT

@ Diva on The Q that is exactly why there is confusion & criticism...I think everyone is looking for the lives we once knew so well. We try to find normalcy where there isnt any anymore.

Pleeeeeez Grooms, get a life. Be glad QVC is staying on the air live on main channel and making the absolute best of bad times. If you don't like their "programming" turn to the depressing fake news channels. Perhaps the reason Susan Graver is on perhaps more than other clothing brands is because she is local and one of their favorite designers. You can always shop for other brands on QVC's outstanding website. Once again, be glad QVC is on the air with upbeat hosts, happy live models, beautiful set designs and outstanding customer service. I could not even believe your post! In very poor taste!

@Hooty

They did. I think they might have sent an email about it and someone posted in a thread.

Very limited staff and hosts mention it and apologize in a vague manner. I don’t watch regularly but caught that twice. They don’t have a reason to apologize; it would be nice if they came right out and named the elephant in the room. We all know it is there.
