Q2 NOT LIVE This Evening???

cheriere — Sun, 16 Jun 2024 22:16:20 GMT

I switched over to Q2 at 6pm to watch the Cudl Duds Clearance Show and it isn't on. Instead it's a repeat of last night's Belle Show. Just wondering if anyone knows what's up?

QVC 2 seems to be evolving backwards. They had a fairly robust line-up of host-led shows from 11am to midnight for quite a while.

But recently, the brand reps have been back to doing a lot of solo shows. Some days less than half the shows have a host in them.

Now repeats during their supposed live hours? If not enough hosts were available, and a brand rep couldn't make it, I guess that's all they can do is fill the slot with a repeat show.

I think there are 7 hosts on vacation/out on leave right now. That's a scheduling nightmare.

Perhaps they're so short on hosts, they don't have one available for this show?

That's what happens when ill-advised management let's too many people go on leave at the same time. I could see this coming and it's likely to continue for awhile.

Vacations should be scheduled at the company's convenience. The inmates should not run the asylum, so to speak.

Short staffed.

I guess we will see more vendors and repeats on Q2. Brett Hamilton just did an LG show, it was live. Brett is quite good.

At least to me, one of the big problems is lack of expected sales. So merchandise on hand, not enough sales, just repeat the recorded performance. And, as you note, sometimes the prices are higher the next time around, and sometimes the free shipping originally offered is gone. Does not bode well.

Company stock prices are now down to 60 cents a share, another poster informed when I said they were 75 cents a share.

I thought the Q2 shows were always old re-runs. This is news to me.

Signs of a poorly run organization. Like the inmates run the prison. Like no one supervises hosts.

I have all three channels. Q3 is all reruns. Q2 is supposed to have Live shows at 6 pm. It's a mess.

I never understood why QVC felt they needed THREE channels. Why? They don't have enough interesting product to fill one channel 24/7.

What am I missing here?

I saw a live Laura Geller presentation on Q2 at 8 p.m. pacific time. It was so nice to see host Vanessa Herring with LG representative Amber. Herring was calm, did not interrupt the representative and gave information on the products.

@Tinkrbl44 QVC 2 has been live programming from 11:00am to midnight, for the past several years.

I’ve been noticing that as well. Q2 has been having more of the vendors doing the presentations. I guess they are short on hosts.
I tend to tune in once in a while when the items presented on the main channel don’t interest me.

Maybe I am too analytical, but if "QVC is short of hosts" -

why are two hosts often presenting with a vendor? Some vendors could present on their own, but what vendor needs two hosts to make a presentation ?

Isn't that a waste of money for QVC? I just watched two hosts selling a cloth handbag. Does that make sense?

I do realize others here ask the same question.

Vacation scheduling? Yes, employees have that right. But it is management's job to coordinate.

And then you have two hosts with a non-legal person selling do it yourself wills. One says, "You don't have to go to an office and talk about those horrible things." What?

And these people tell you this will take you 20 minutes or so to do. And per usual, QVC vastly overestimates the cost of a professional will "25 to $3,000.

If someone makes their decisions before meeting with an attorney, it is a thorough and professional process. I realize this may be better than nothing for anyone who is short on money, but there is no substitute for an attorney's expertise.

I worked in a law office for years, and saw it all.

Everyday from 11am to midnight Q2 is always live. Later on that night for the 10pm show I noticed they'd gone back to live programming with Vanessa. There may have been an emergency or something with a host because they're always live during those hours.❤️

I never watch Q3 because it is always reruns. However, I do really enjoy Q2 a lot. They feature fashions every Wednesday and Thursday. Also, if something is running all day in the main channel I'm not a big fan if, Q2 seems to always be featuring the opposite lol.😃❤️

Q1 or the main channel, begins Live at 7 am every morning, including Sat. & Sun.
