OVERNIGHT RERUNS

keithsmom65 — Tue, 15 Oct 2019 07:59:25 GMT

This concept sickens me. I usually watch all night and do my purchasing then. I hate this new idea. Surely they can pay for nighttime hosts because all of their prices are now outrageous!

I have to agree with the previous poster. QVC you are abandoning your loyal customer base. I have shopped with you for many years. All hours of the day and night. I can't count the number of times I would wake up, in the middle of the nught, turn on my favorite channel, and make an "impulse" purchase. I am so disappointed in this newest unimaginative format. Six or seven hours of ANY one host and SAME products are nothing but annoying.

I completely agree! I get up 3am and would watch QVC until 4:30 am, while getting ready for work. I make frequent purchases, but I can see that the changes being made are going to cause me to shop elsewhere. So sad! New is not always better.

I almost wish for the burning Yule log from Christmas past! This endless airing of repeats is strange when you have a zillion products to sell and we never see them on air. I guess QVC is saving money on salaries but viewers are very unhappy. And the overkill of TSV airings is a turn off...click!

@keithsmom65If the only cost was the cost of the host, I doubt they'd save enough to go to reruns. What about the cost of models, producers, camera workers, stylists, custodial staff, etc?

Add that all up as well as what I didn't think to mention, multiply by the hours of repeats and you'll get a better idea of the possible savings.

To me it feels like the same thing as heading into my favorite brick and mortar stores where there used to be many sales people on the floor and finding it tough to see even two at one time.

Sad to say, retail is in rouble all over. Change seems inevitable. Can't say I like most of the changes anywhere I shop!

Most of us don't so much mind watching reruns b/c many of those programs are new to those who don't have QVC on all day long. What the complaints are about, is the 5 hrs. of the SAME thing. There is no way, anyone can explain to me that this is a good move.

Oh gosh, please don't let something like that 'sicken' you!

There is a lot of other programming on in the middle of the night.

If you can post here, you can just shop online and not get agitated.

@millieshops as have been expressed many times by posters the issue is not so much the repeating of programs it is the repeating of the SAME program for 5 hrs straight. QVC can save the same amount of money by repeating different shows during that time.

@DJs momTY I missed that. And that does make a difference although it still wouldn't make 10 cents worth of difference in my Q spending. I haven't ordered between midnight and maybe 9 AM since I retired 20 years ago.

I'm another upset night owl who watches QVC at night and in the evenings. For several nights now, the Today's Special Value hour was literally replayed for FIVE HOURS STRAIGHT from 11 p.m. Pacific (2 a.m. Eastern) to 4 a.m. Pacific (7 a.m. Eastern). That's right! The same hour replays over and over and over and over and over.

At least play other previous shows (and yes, I think the prices televised should be honored; not the disclaimer that prices may be different that what's being aired). That is the least you can do. You're going to lose this long-time customer.

Do away with QVC2. I ain't watchin' it.

It sounds like a corporation's way of saving money....fewer staff, fewer products to show, less planning, and so on. I worry most about employees who are losing jobs because of corporate greed.

I agree--I make most of my purchases late at night or in the early morning. I love to watch the late night hosts and shows--now we have reruns for hours--bummer. Fed up with QVC slow shipping, costs, and now a rerun for hours of the TSV, etc.--boring!

As another Night Owl, who often works late at night and multitasks by purchasing gifts on the Q, I am also wondering where the repeat airing comes from. It's like they've taken a page straight out of the HSN handbook. Come to think of it, ever since they partnered with HSN many things have gone downhill -- newish host quality, show production quality (lots of screwups lately) and even product quality.

It also seems like they're cutting down on host time to cut costs. I agree with another poster. It seems a lot of the changes are related to the bottom line. Even the 'experts' who used to pitch for one brand are now pitching for several brands. It smells of a cash crunch.

Cannot stand the repeating and repeating of the same thing. I used to watch when I can't sleep which is often, this is absolutely awful. Bring back the way it was and in most cases won't but TSV because sick of hearing it over and over. I'll just watch Hallmark channel and not buy anything

I am so dissappointed in the over night broadcasts! I do much of my shopping then and so enjoy the variety and the hosts! PLEASE bring back live coverage!

@kkarie I also dislike the re-run of the TSV for 5 hours...it's completely ridiculous!! I heard that the live programming (2a-7a EST) is supposed to resume on 11/4 or 11/5 -- I'm just hoping they actually keep it, but I guess time will tell. Just depends on how much $$ they made during this "pilot program". We shall see soon enough!

Great communication, QVC.

"I heard that the live programming (2a-7a EST) is supposed to resume on 11/4 or 11/5." Where can this information be found?

It's November 5th per The Program Guide.

For those of us who are insomniacs and rely on the Q for entertainment in the wee hours, these reruns are a problem. I can see them rerunning the TSV, but that's it.
