I think those watches are what keeps them in business.

They sell those One World fashions out faster than you can think about it.

I would think that people would just have enough eventually?

As somebody who doesn't wear watches, I have a hard time getting how they can sell sooooo many watches. I guess it must be lucrative or, unless they're not too bright, they wouldn't be doing it.

I get the daily 'value of the day' email from them and it seems like 4 days out of 7 it's a watch.

Too bad they abandoned that with which they used to really shine - FINE jewelry! They used to sell incredible gold pieces and gold with outstanding quality gemstones, as well as loose gems that were top notch. Now it's pretty much all costume jewelry - silver, gold coated silver, and just general junk jewelry.

I guess they must know the market better than I, but I very seldom see anything I'm interested in there anymore.

I've bought a bunch of items from this network and I don't even wear a watch. I go through our Hopper Guide and record Electronics and other shows that I think have items that interest me. Their prices are much better than this network and they have products you have never seen here.

If it is still owned by NBC I think that network has much bigger problems with their Main Network, when it comes to ranking at the bottom in about every category, than they do with their shopping network.

For me I wonder how they even get sponsors when many of their shows have cable networks having more viewers than they do, even in some of the Prime Time Slots.

Value Vision owns ShopHQ since 2001 and changed their name last year.

Okay, Rupert. LOL!

I've read the old Shop NBC used to have to pay NBC a huge, Multi-million dollar fee for the use of their name. The name change saves them all that money.

And Comcast owns 100% of NBC Universal now, so they're not going anywhere.

When the shopping channel changed names, I thought they said the watch shows were going to be retired.

Has anyone bought any of the fashions they sell? I think a lot before buying from shopHQ as you must pay shipping charges both ways. That can end up costing plenty.

I don't watch them due to all the watches, but I order from them when they have a jewelry or kitchen TTV. I'm on their mailing list, so I get daily TTV notifications. They do have a lot of nice merchandise on their website that I wish they'd show on the air. I just can't imagine that they sell enough watches after all these years to make it worth airing them 24/7.

I bought a One World hoodie in a silky type material that I really like. It looks adorable with jeans. That's about it. Most of my purchases are jewelry or kitchen related.

I bought two Kate and Mallory sweaters that are nice quality and great fit...I, also, bought a One World top that I had to return....the neckline was way too low...

I have bought a strand of pink pearls...and I recently bought two portable air conditioners...really haven't had a chance to see how good they will be...its been too cool to run them....but I do know that they work...:0)

I am guessing they are saving money by not having a live show all night...they start their re-runs at 2am till 8am....

They also cash in nicely with Skinn and Isomers, and the 3 Amigos jewelry.

I finally donated a One World top. It was cute with a flattering cut, but it was itchy.
