Re: Why are there so many new hosts?

I didn’t even notice Sharon F. was gone.  There is another host that I wouldn’t miss if she left, but I solve that by just switching the channel.  I have only seen two new hosts so far, but I understand six have been hired.  Ali Carr seems very knowledgeable and professional.

 

I still enjoy some of the “older” hosts; Carolyn, Mary Beth, and Dan.  I also like Mary Nelson very much.

Re: Why are there so many new hosts?

I will be very sad when the "old timers" leave.  I rarely watch and have no connection with any of the newer hosts, but if I'm flipping channels and see MBR or Jill, Jane or any of the original women, I usually stop for a little "visit".  I guess it's corny, but then so am I.

With the addition of QVC2 and the beauty channel, they need more hosts. Also, if more than one person is on vacation, sick or on leave, there's plenty of on air coverage.

My concern remains that Dan Hughes and Mary Beth Roe will be pushed aside by younger and more "hip" hosts.

Re: Why are there so many new hosts?

Out with the old, in with the new-- this could be a cost-cutting measure. I'm sure the new hosts are paid lower salaries than the long-timers.

QVC still hasn't found its way since Dan Wheeler left. He would often reference God on air. And since he left I haven't heard one host say "God Bless". Its become very buttoned up at the Q.

We can only hope..

Why would we hope somebody would retire? I can’t think of one older, long-time host I am hoping will leave.

 Thank you. I was thinking the exact same! Not every host pleases everyone. That’s what the remote and/or mute button is for. Easy-peasy! 😉

Re: Why are there so many new hosts?

More to the point why are so many hosts leaving. Even some some of the hosts that have been there for years.    Linda

Re: Why are there so many new hosts?

I think that maybe some of the older hosts, or should I say the more seasoned hosts may want to cut back their hours a bit as well.......
