Just curious! What has happened to the new hosts that were working the overnight shift? Also, there are only a select few that are on the main channel. I do not watrch the other channels so I just get to see the hosts on the main channel.

@I am appleblossom Some may have not made the "cut" while others may have been let go since prerecorded shows do not require a host.

I think that they are all still around currently. All of their photos are still under "Meet Our Hosts".

If you look at the weekly program guide, you'll see they rotate doing the 1am-2am hour before the reruns begin once or twice a week. Not a whole lot of on air exposure on Q1.

During this re-run period in the mornings, the newest hosts have been given a 1 hour show per week.

Courtney Webb, Terri Conn, Rachelle McCray, Julia Cleary, and Ali Carr have been spotted once a week right after the TSV midnight hour is over.

Ali also has her social media gig during David's Friday ITKWD shows. Julia Cleary merely pops in once in a while during another host's show, but that hasn't even been once per week for her.

All the hosts are working. They haven't let any of them go. Which, I assume is your real question.

@chrystaltreeI'm in a non-buying phase as I prep to move, so I'm also in a non-watching phase. No reason to be at all tempted right now, but that also means I have little idea who is working.

I'm pleased QVC hasn't shed their new hosts - means employment for them and it also could mean the overnight repeats are really an experiment. We'll see - companies often shed employees when they need to shave expenses, but hiring and training new employees can cost thousands for each one

So where are they saving the oodles and boatloads of cash by airing reruns all night if the host roster is still bloated with salaries and benefits?

Not missing much. Whoever the Host was this morning 11/6 at 6am on Gourmet Holiday was imitating JT and DV. She refered to DV several times . A little to dramatic . Am not interested as I changed the channel to the news.

They should take all of the new hosts who aren't working enough hours and send them out to the warehouse to clean up the backlog.....as long as they're paying them.

I think there are more hosts who I don't know than those whom I do. I usually watch AM Style on Saturday mornings with Leah, and that's about it. So if I flip on the Q at any other time, chances are I don't even know who the host is.

I agree. Some of the new hosts have high pitched voices and talk too much. I find hard it to listen to them. What is with all the hugs and kisses with vendors

Think I've seen one new one, but, I'm not watching these day.

Merchandise isn't interesting and keeping money local

So true!! Several of the 'new' hosts could still use some host training. They talk too fast, don't describe well, not prepared and try to be too cute!! And some have such shrill voices....quick channel changer for me.
