It is the Q.  The Q sells in other countries, no other channel does this.

I like Evine and I think it's a smart move.  Their best vendors come from either coast.  Beekman Boys from NY, Consulte beaute from California, and so on. There are plenty of real estate deals they could make as far as leasing goes in NYC or the surrounding areas. 

Just like with QVC, I wish they would get more vendors and or bring back the ones we loved.

Didn't P Diddy sell his fragrance on HSN?  

ETA:  I looked it up.  Yes he was on HSN.  He sold his fragrance out in 15 minutes.  The host was Callie Northagen.  I'm not sure if he appeared just once or more times.

Maybe, but I'm speaking of garments as being discussed by the OP.  Nicki Minaj also sold a fragrance on HSN and so did Mary J. Blige. Many of them have a least one Fragrance.

The goal is to make it easier for celebs to appear on the network to hawk their wares. Seriously, who wants to fly to Minneapolis in the winter?

Aw come on.... let's see how "tough" these celebs really are....  j/k

@Q4u Amen.  To the celebrities, I would say, cry me a river.  I wish I had a job that allowed me to fly all over to sell my wares.  I think the celebrities need to just do their job -- sell, sell, sell, and enjoy the profits.  Besides, aren't they usually escorted and driven all over, to and from their appearances?  Dress appropriately, be it Minnesota, Pennsylvania, or Florida where you're going, and be GLAD you even have a job, and can provide for yourself, your family, etc.

Sofia Vergara, Eva Longoria, Jen Lopez also sold perfume on HSN.

Our cable system dropped that channel quite a while ago.  I'm not up do date.  What happened to Kathy Levine?  "EVINE LIVE" was supposedly derived from her name and she was the "front-person" for the operation.  Is she gone?

They'll need much more than a $10 million investment.  Real estate square footage and taxes are enormous in New York and Beverly Hills.  Talk about sticker shock compared to Minnesota.  The move does make sense though.

I don't think West Chester, PA is much of a burden for QVC vendors though.  It's an hour and a half drive from NYC, and the really successful vendors buy 2nd homes in PA to negate even that commute.

I think Susan Graver has a tent on the QVC roof!

Can't imagine people standing on the street watching marathon watch shows!

Hi Cherry....QVC is the number 1 channel (but sales have been on the decline from the second quarter and on into June (there is a thread about it on the Forums with quotes from QVC's CEO and another Q Executive in Q Talk and in Fashion)....the third quarter results should come out soon...HSN is #2,and Evine is listed as #3......

The Homeshoppingista blog usually posts the financial results for all 3 shopping channels with appropriate links ......QVC's 3rd quarter will be released Nov. 8

https://homeshoppingista.wordpress.com/2016/10/08/qvcs-parent-to-release-third-quarter-results-nov-8...

Beginning in early June QVC’s US sales began to experience significant headwinds, which have continued. The sales declines, as compared to prior periods, have averaged in the mid to high single digit percentages. QVC has developed many initiatives intended to reverse the negative trends and QVC is optimistic, although there is no guarantee, that these actions will have a positive effect. However, even if these initiatives begin to reverse these trends, it is believed that QVC’s US net revenue and adjusted OIBDA will likely experience negative growth rates for the third quarter.
