Why a QVC3?

nelc — Fri, 01 Mar 2024 01:51:42 GMT

With all their money woes, why is there a QVC3 channel? It’s all repeats as far as I can tell and still takes money to run.
I guess my question is what’s the purpose of a third channel?

the 3rd and 4th channel cost minimal as they are 100% reruns. automated.

i find them useful when i have missed a show i wanted to see.

@nelc. We are customers just like you, not members of the management team. Perhaps you should ask them because, I assure you, we don't know or care.

Many of us do not watch QVC 24/7. We often don't watch it for 3 or 4 days at a time. Q3 which is all rerun shows cost nothing to produce but viewers who tune in to see a show they missed, will make purchases. It's probably not bringing in big bucks but it is bringing in some bucks.

I only watch the regular QVC channel. Could care less about 2 and 3.

I enjoy both Q1 and Q2. Q3 is reruns and the prices are not updated so they can be higher or lower (mostly higher).

I've never seen Q2 or Q3 on my tv. Are they located on a certain app, or?

@RescueLover If Q3 is reruns, what is Q2?

Re: Why a QVC3?

I can watch them all on Roku. And all the Q’s special programming (which I love) and Q movies too.

Q1 and Q2 are Live broadcasts. Q3 is reruns.

Also if Q1 has things like garden or electronics you can almost guarantee that Q2 will have fashion and accessories. The complete opposite so that customers can enjoy shopping for what they’re interested in.

Or you can go to the QVC app and watch all the channels too.

Or watch them all on QVC.com too!

Q3 is a low-cost way to present more product.

For one, I think its great for those of us who work hours outside of the home to be able to watch shows that aired previously.

Two, it is relatively inexpensive for Q to have a channel repeat for already- produced shows to capture extra sales. It would be broadcast costs ( whatever costs it takes to have a 3rd channel) and thats it.

Thank you all for your responses
I didn’t even know there was a Q4 as someone stated.
Agree it must bring in some revenue or else they wouldn’t continue offering it.

Q3 originally started as an all-beauty channel. "Beauty IQ", I think it was called. Beauty vendors and reps were supposed to give more detailed demonstrations of their products than they had time for on the main channel.

It was interesting at first, but then it kind of fizzled out I guess.🤷‍♀️

@SaveTheTurtles I recently stumbled across QVC2 and didn't know it was added.? I have Spectrum and live in N. WI. Havent looked at it again. I prefer to order on line.
