So they can offer more options. More chance of sales. If you're not interested in what is on regular QVC, there is QVC beauty or QVC 2...

Actually they have a third channel also. Q2 and Beauty IQ. They have them to make more money. If you don't like what they are selling, go to one of the others.

They have 3 channels. QVC, Q2 and the Beauty Channel. Years ago Pat James went over to the QVC Fashion Channel. Then she came back when they ended the channel. I guess if you don’t want to watch QVC, you can watch one of their other channels.

It's nice to have options.

I keep forgetting they have three channels since QVC is the only channel I get on Comcast in my area.

I guess it's to expand their 'empire'. I read here a long time ago QVC had purchased SOME of HSN stock.

But recently everyone is speaking out about QVC and HSN being 'part of the same group' (however it's worded....together?). I just know I read this:

Here's another reason QVC is expanding: The headline goes something like they're trying to compete with Amazon: Go here:

To increase sales, they actually have 3 channels but I believe the Beauty one is only available online. The more channels they have, the more choices customers have. I never watch the Beauty channel but my younger daugther who is makeup and skincare fanatic watches it all the time. It's the only QVC programming she does watch so if it wasn't available, she would buy anything from QVC.

@FuzzyFace.....this is America and businesses can thrive.... so they can have as many channels as sales will support.

Even though I ordered the TSV, I'm calling today the LOGO and Philosphy channel.

I haven't watched all day; but when I tried it has been soooo

boring.

Is the Q trying to sell the HSN customers on LOGO? Looks like it!! Just saying!

@FuzzyFace. What possible difference does it make to you or any viewer? It's there, take it or leave it.

Maybe nothing but it’s worth a discussion if one is inclined

Why are you bothered by my asking why QVC has a 2nd channel? (You sure sound bothered)

It's nice to have options when you don't care for the programming on the main channel. Although QVC2 does repeat a lot of the content that is on the main channel.(in addition to live content)

What bugs me is when I have no interest in the TSV they are showing, I switch to Q2 and they are showing a repeat airing of the TSV. How dum are they?

When the TSV is a beauty product, I swear I have seen it on all 3 channels at the same time. Dum, I say.

I do not watch one two or three Q channels... if I order something which is not too often I order online. Of course the other channel is for selling more items.

@chrystaltree Beauty IQ is an actual QVC on air channel although not all cable companies carry it.

I have a bet with myself about how long Colleen will last. She is the LR of HSN
