Re: BOSE on HSN this morning!

QVC doesn't show electronics often enough and I can see way Bose, or any other company, would prefer a network that shows all electronics on a very regular basis. QVC obviously is more into other products and I would not be surprised to see other electronic vendors moving where they get more on air time on a regular basis, and without it having to be a TSV.

Re: BOSE on HSN this morning!

I've seen HP offer computers on both networks. Could Bose be working both sides of the fence?

There are times when you must speak, not because you are going to change the opposing side, but because if you do not speak, they have changed you.

Re: BOSE on HSN this morning!

While they may still carry Bose, big difference in having them, but without presentations. Ho many times have we heard regular QVC callers say: "I was turning the channel and I saw you offering XYZ, and I have been waiting to order it"? We know they have been available by seeing them online, but maybe the caller didn't until they saw the Presentation. Advertising sells and if it didn't? It would all disappear.

Re: BOSE on HSN this morning!

John, I often see Bose wave music systems advertised in magazines and frankly didn't know much about them until my husband bought me one. Of course, he was an audiophile who had Bose speakers and elaborate stereo systems. It makes sense to advertise on TV and work both stations to get the word out.

HSN also sells Dyson vacuums.

Obviously, Bose and Dyson have contracts with BOTH places.

Re: BOSE on HSN this morning!

I sure don't know anything about any vendors contractual obligations, but I have heard a lot of hosts say this about some Major Companies products. "This model made exclusively for XYZ", so that might be part of how these companies get their contracts with more than 1 TV Network.

It hasn't been that long ago that Bose was advertising on QVC.
