Bring back the vendors

Hosts and vendors together or 12 feet apart are better than this home presentation

It doesn't matter to me if the vendors are there or not. I used to think it was a waste to pay a vendor to travel in to just do a 10 minute presentation.

I actually like the Vendors doing presentations from their homes. They get to show us more uses for what ever they are selling. And I get to see their homes & pets!

I'm for bringing them back. Better picture quality, no "freezes", clearer audio, etc. Clearly, some work quite well, but many others are definite channel changers for me.

I prefer the remote appearances from the vendors. Some are broadcasting from their business sites; others from home. It is a nice variety to the studio demonstrations. None of the pertinent information is lost, and less travel is more cost effective and more environmentally friendly.

I agree that some do better on remote than others. Some I can't watch on Skype like Sandra and SG. Always interrupting and talking over each other.

@KKJ They do that even when they are in the same studio.

I don't know for sure, but I'm only guessing that some of the vendors prefer working from home.

Not easy to fly across the country or drive hours for a few minutes here and there on air.

Also, it's probably easier for them to relax (in their homes) in-between all day TSV presentations.

This format works smoothly and seamlessly.

They should never, ever have guests return to the studio, except in a very limited capacity.

The audio is a real negative. What I haven't missed - or enjoy missing..........vendors who had the freedom to dance - show too much of their back side when in studio.

By being in their homes - they HAVE TO STAND AT ATTENTION during the presentations.......that part I like a lot more.

I would prefer to see them back in the studio. I honestly don't like most of the in-home presentations.

stay home, save the transportation money and pass the savings onto us!

i was wondering about that the other day. But I thought about it and think the vendors like it that way. They don't have to travel to PA and stay in a motel, etc. They stay in their own homes and work there (like me!) So they no longer have that expense. They can work out of their garage! Gone are the days when Susan Graver moved from New York to PA because she was on so many days of the week. Now instead directly from her home, she has created her own set.

It does make sense environmentally and economically to have the vendors beam in remotely, but I think I'd enjoy the occasional in-person appearance.

Some of the news shows I watch have started having all the "heads" in one room again, and I realized that I had missed the interaction.

I agree! I'm tired of poor reception, constantly losing the vendor, not having the products to show and watching it on a video! QVC2 is also very boring, when they have the vendors on for an hour selling their products with no show host, what's that all about? I am about done with QVC, I think they have really gone downhill! The show hosts are on for too many hours and some of the new ones that they have hired are not as good as some of the ones that they have let go!

I don't mind if vendors are remote, but they do need to have the right setup. What I do want to see again are all of the items presented on person, especially clothing, so we can see the colors presented and not just shown via computer. Have multiple models presenting the clothing, etc.

I think it depends upon what item they are showing. Kitchen items are better in the studio...watch8g the bpvendor use a set of cookware at their home kitchen while the host just stands there is not my kind of tv....I don't watch much, but the little I have watched since the remote began hasn't interested me, maybe I haven't watched it enough to get used to it.
