Which hosts are leaving?

ceapurl — Thu, 13 Jul 2017 04:24:43 GMT

I just noticed that 4-5 new hosts have been hired over the past month or so. The only host who left that I know of was Albany. Are others getting ready to retire? The main host page with all their pictures hasn't changed. I haven't been watching as much with summer here. Please clarify for me. Thank you.

If I were to take a guess, I would say it isn't so much that hosts are leaving, but that now they've got a couple other channels to fill.

They started the beauty channel and a QVC 2, so they must need more hosts.

My guess.

Jacque Gonzales left since Albany, but they added more live shows to Qvc2.

I know a couple of hosts I wish were leaving. Maybe if we all relayed our best wishes for a successful future, blah, blah, they wouldn't have the nerve to stick around?

Their second channel went from a few hours a week live programming as QVC Plus to 40 live hours and 2 hours live-to-tape a week as QVC2. Beauty iQ has 20 live hours a week. That's about 25 more host shifts. They need the additional 5 hosts. QVC also has two hosts on medical leave right now and one on maternity leave. Have you noticed most of the hosts a taking three or four hour shifts lately? They might appreciate having some more hosts around to lighten the load.

Some hosts are working up to four hour shifts; Oh my gosh! At least they get paid well for that kind of dedication.

I don't know about medical leave, but I believe that Shawn Killinger is on maternity leave.

Mary is on a medical leave, believe she had some sort of surgery, but due back soon I think.

Where did Jacque Gonzalez go? One roof the new hosts who made a quick debut on June 30, is on maternity leave too. She is due at the end of July. Didn't know about all the changes. Thank you.

Sharon Faetsch and Mary DeAngelis have been out on medical leave. Jacque is gone (it's been long enough that I don't count Albany in the mix anymore). Shawn is on family leave with her new baby. Of the new hosts hired, one is (or will be soon) on maternity leave.

Add summer vacations (Jennifer Coffey just left for hers, and Jane Brown is wrapping up hers) and three channels and it's not at all surprising that the hosts are doing 4-hour shifts.

The hosts post all this on their FB pages.

@Kachina624Wanna bet that who you want to leave isn't who I want to leave? Although I'm not wishing for anyone to lose a job - that's a pretty sad way to deal with any problem I might have with the channel, imo.

Poor Sharon had to have a stent put in because of a kidney stone. I know a few people who had to have that done and that is miserable.

I've never had a kidney stone but I have had a kidney stent. The procedure is very simple. No pain whatsoever.
