I wrote to the Q Social Team and they wished they had an answer.  They said they've had many requests.  My guess is that the names won't be back unless there's a major backlash of sorts.

It's amazing that HSN posts not only the host names, but all the guests names for any particular time slot.

@DogMamaX2 I have to apparently be in the minority but I never check who is hosting any more. In fact, I rarely check the program guide. There are 2 hosts I just cannot watch, if I change the channel to QVC and they are on, I just watch something else. Or on that same note, if I'm not interested in the item I will watch something else.

There is one reason I will check the program guide. If I feel there will be a free shipping day coming up, I will look for the type of item that will be presented. So at midnight, if the item will be something that always has free shipping, like a Vitamix, vacuum, food item, etc., I will be sure to tune in at midnight.

I also miss seeing hosts names in the Program Guide. Contrary to some, I used that info to DVR shows hosted by my favorite hosts.  Now, I do not DVR and, consequently, do not buy.

Welcome @DogMamaX2. This is just speculation, but I wonder if its because people who see a hosts name they don't like won't watch. If its anonymous, maybe they'll tune in.

@AZfemI definitely was thinking the same thing.  I know I used to do that when they gave the names in the guide.

Appears that hosts names are now again included in the program guide. Helpful for those of us not home and wish to DVR certain shows fearuring specific hosts(and not others).  Perhaps the feedback QVC received was taken seriously. Thank you QVC!

I haven't posted in years and probably won't in the future, but this topic interested me.  I do not purchase products based upon who is presenting them, but I will listen longer to a presentation if I favor a host. 

Someone mentioned Stacie is gone (cannot picture her in my mind, but I am sure I have seen her present something), and that Steve (Doss) is in California.  

My question is:  Where is TJ?  I went to the listing of Program Hosts, and he no longer is there.  I really liked him -- his energy, kindness, personality, and definitely his smile.

That sort of makes sense but for those of us who do watch specific hosts and aren't around it's nice to see who's hosting what and when so we can set our DVR's. I have some favorites and prefer to watch when they are on. I see the hosts are back on the guide. Sorry for the delayed response, I don't think I ever knew how this worked!!!!!!

[DogMamaX2]

Thank you for the response! DO you believe I literally just stumbled on this and saw so many people responded to me. I had no idea that anyone responded! Thank you for your kind words welcoming me. I've been a shopper at the Q for 28 years!

They never have this problem on HSN who not only shows the hosts but also on the app as well and the guests. That's nice to see who's on. Sometimes people have favorites and won't watch other hosts so I just asked a simple question.
