Mary Beth posted about new QVC hosts on Facebook

My apologies if this has already been discussed, but I was scanning Mary Beth Roe"s Facebook page and saw a post with a photo of 6 new QVC hosts in training.

From her message: "They will go on air over the next few months. You'll love them!! Blessings, MB"

Six new hosts? That sounds like a lot to bring in all at once. I hope they're not letting some of the current hosts go.

All I know is the older hosts (not in age) need to be on QVC. The newer ones need to be on the other two shows. I miss seeing so many hosts, including Gabrielle, Kourtney. It's not the same.

@GarlandGal Yes, they appear to be a great new group of hosts.

There was at least one other thread started in early September, with about 11 pages of comments with varying perspectives.

They really need them as they are running 3 channels now. It is such a long process to train them and after someone leaves everyone has to take up the slack until new ones are ready to go. I think or guess they would like to forgo many recorded shows which they show several times on Q2. Dan Wheeler retired last year and some of the older hosts may also want to do that. Lots of layoffs at HSN and we donlt know yet how that will affect the Q. Even with 6 in training all may not make it through reality.

Until we see this group on air presenting and hosting, I'm not sure how one can judge them and their effectiveness. Yes, they all seem very, very attractive. but once they start talking and selling, they could be annoying as heck.......

Agree; don't foist them upon regular Q until they've practiced on the two useless Qs for a few years.

that sounds so good for so many reasons. jobs, new faces, some may retire, others may need to work less hours. give them a break, etc. we all have/had a start point.

If you look at the backgrounds of this group, none of them is a kid just out of college.

They have had varied careers in modeling, reporting, talk show hosting, acting.....probably costs a pretty penny collectively plus some relocated. I'd rather QVC put that into reduced/free shipping.....

Mary Beth is not on much anymore. I wonder if she is working in the background mentoring these new hosts, getting them ready to go to air?

I sense she is getting ready to retire in a few years. She is my age and I am turning 63.

I think she is one of the original hosts, I have been watching since early 90's and she was there.

I wonder how muh money I have wasted since 1993? (that is just an aside thought lol when I realized how long I have been a customer)

@gabstoomuch Mary Beth has been the primary host trainer for many, many years. That's why she has been on air a bit less these past couple of months.

I don't care how many new hosts they bring in, I just want more Alberti. I am usually unavailable to watch QVC apparently when he's working. The only time I see him is Friday night with Sandra, and many Friday evenings I am not home.

@Katcat1

Gabrielle is on Q2 on a regular basis. If you cable doesnt have Q2 you can watch Q2 from the website........

Courtney Cason is on Beauty IQ and JMHO Im glad shes there, shes not one of my favorites....

The newer Courtney Khondabi is usually on in the early morning, she has a 5AM gift show on Sunday for example.........

I don't care what they look like, only hope their voices are pleasant to listen too. Kortney and Kristen, from the last group are doing well in my opinion. The other two I turn off due to voices. I unerstand we all have personal preferences with hosts, just my opinion.

@GarlandGal

I appreciate your post. I don't watch QVC or follow the hosts so I had no idea.

I took a look at the pictures, and, my first thought was "I wonder which host each one will try to emulate?"

Just like any "store" (as they call themselves now) there are always new people working!
