ShopHQ will be online only. No TV programing.

Per Shawn Wilsie, HQ staff were given a 60 day notice. He states all this in his youtube channel ' Are We On The Air. '

@BdBettyB Thanks for the info. I lost their channel about a year ago on cable.

Shawn said that was part of the reason they lost customers.

I'm sure this will be the story for many companies both online and B&M as they try to recoop from the damage over the past few years.

I thought Shawn left ShopHQ years ago...?? I don't understand.

He's been a show host on ShopLC for several years now.

He has a separate youtube channel. Nothing to do with HQ.

Shawn is a host on Shop LC, but he does a podcast on the different shopping channels.

Makes me think Kendy was smart, she must have suspected this may happen. Years ago, their jewelry was so amazing, top notch, I sitll have so many pieces from them.

ShopHQ hosts and vendors have been jumping ship for quite some time now. It was just a matter of time before the ship went down. Failure to keep up with the changing shopping landscape, along with the decline in cable-tv viewership, did them in.

I did go and listen to what Shawn had to say. It was interesting. Thanks for posting about it.

@Shelbelle I remember their overnight gold shows where they had a handful of each piece. I got my fair share of pretties too.

This may be why so many Q hosts are jumping off - Kristen, Jen, Stacy & TJ. They know what's really going on at the business through meetings, sales quotas being met or not.

I wonder if that's why Danny Seo left the channel. He had a nice selection of Korean products and some great boxes. I enjoy several of their products and they have had a lot of what I think of as "nicer" products than you see on the other channels. Especially their jewelry.

It also didn't help when Invicta and Kendy left.

They both went to JTV, but I haven't seen any shows lately. Sort of weird, at Christmas.

I wonder what Michael Valitutti of Gems en Vogue will do. I just bought two rings from him, and they are gorgeous. I know he sells in Canada, Germany, and Australia. I wish he could come to the Q with a boutique collection. His jewelry is so well-made. Palladium is melted with sterling to prevent tarnishing.
