What HSN hosts might exit due to the merger?

JONNYSBRO — Thu, 06 Jul 2017 14:52:36 GMT

I am wondering what HSN hosts might exit due to the merger. We might see long term hosts at HSN be cut
Mike George said they would run as seperate companies. I see Amy Morrison being the star of HSN as she is now.

@JONNYSBRO

Much too early for speculation and most people don't know what's taking place behind the scenes and in private meetings.

Just because they purchased stock in a company does not mean they are going to take over running it.

I agree. HSN is doing fine.

Why would any of the HSN hosts be cut? I don't understand.

First, I don't watch nor do I have any interest in HSN.

Second, I tried to care less about this topic but I just can't.

But you feel free to spend all your time ruminating on it LOL!

I don't believe my opinion would matter. In fact, if you gave me a police-line-up type of arrangement from which to choose the HSN hosts, I'm not sure I'd recognize more than 2 - and even for the 2 I think I'd find I know no name.

Then again, I also couldn't match names with faces for the QVC hosts hired within the last several years

I used to enjoy Amy when she was a rep in the kitchen. (I think it was cook & chefs). As a host she doesn't let the vendor speak, and her voice isn't that pleasant sounding imo. (these hosts have nice voices~~~> Lisa M., Mary-ITKWM, Lisa R., Colleen)

Amy Morrison?? I think Colleen Lopez is the star of HSN....she has been with them for years!

This post has been removed by QVC because of link to another retailer

Like many mergers, management will cut redundancy, stream line marketing, get rid of
low-sales personel, and expand online prescence. It's all about market share and taking on all competitors (amazon. etc).

Suzanne Runyan will leave HSN and return to QVC.

The OP is All Speculation, All the Time; the 24-hr Speculation Channel.

I have seen moderators give "speculation" as a reason for post removal more than once. I guess it depends on who you're speculating about.

The acquisition has kicked the OP into overdrive.

@Pancho I believe you're correct. I don't even know who Amy is. I've never seen her. Love Colleen! She's been their star forever!

@JONNYSBRO why do you keep calling this a merger? There is nothing right now indicating any merger is taking place.

It might be kind of like how Marshalls and TJ Maxx are. I would love to see Shannon Smith cross over to QVC.
