I'm only familiar with the "veteran" hosts so the only one I know of who's leaving is Antonella.  With only the QVC channel there's no need for so many people.  I wish them all well but not really surprised.

I don't find the removal of this group to be a loss. Yes, it's a shame for anyone to lose their job, not saying that. I'm saying that none of these individuals every impressed me when I would see them air. *shrugs*

I do believe that QVC (as are many companies) have discovered they can make just as much money MINUS the number of employees they once used. Cutting the fat, if you will. A few can bring in the big bucks so why keep the others. Same with staffing: if 3 camera people did a great job that used to take 10, why keep the extra 7? Ka-ching! Keep that money in our pockets! 

They could cut out quite a few more and it wouldn't hurt their sales.

KZ being cut was the most obvious. I imagine Elise Ivy is on the chopping block, too as she was always on the lesser viewed Q channels.

I think we will see more hosts exit- including veterans.

I am very surprised that QVC let Gabrielle Kerr go after 12 years of good service. She is a lovely person.

I thought she was one of the better hosts, too.  I will admit to never seeing a show with Ms. Zell or Ms. Ivy.

I once watched an entire hour thinking I was watching Stacey only to find out it was Kristine Zell.  I'm fairly positive I would have continued to make the same mistake whenever I would see either one of them.  Rarely saw either of them on air (I don't watch ITKWD)

Wishing her the best for a fantastic and successful future!

The least prepared host, in my opinion, is Julia Cearley. By comparison Kristine excelled in preparation.

I just saw that Antonella said that she is definitely leaving after 18 years? Was that her choice? I am shocked, she is a great force on the Q. What is actually going on here? I thought that the Q was gaining more customers because of covid?

@Krimpette You know I have only seen her maybe 2 times myself. I don't watch too much QVC anymore though, but sometimes since working from home I will leave in on in the background..I don't know much about her at all, but at least now she will have more time home with her baby girl! I really don't think hosting is as easy as some of these hosts make it seem.

Whenever someone is laid off - they always say they want to spend time with their family. They'll all be available in a New York Minute looking for a new job!!!!
