I so agree.  Also a poor sleeper I enjoyed the live shows over night shows.  QVC bring back live shows 24 hours please.  I don't watch HSN because of the repeats.  QVC has to be careful.  They are loosing cstomers like me.

There have to be dozens of discussions concerning this topic, change the channel, problem solved.  Don't see the great desire to watch a shopping channel at any time of day.

Being a poor sleeper, I usually did a lot of my shopping during the late night hours.  Even if I wasn’t shopping, the hosts kept me company.  Now that both QVC and HSN have converted to re-runs, I no longer watch.  Tonight, HSN is airing 8 hours of Andrew Lessman and his vitamin pills, for goodness sake.  I can’t tolerate that guy for 15 minutes, let alone 8 hours, lol.  And QVC has Jill Martin selling the same stuff, over and over.  Seriously, what can the powers that be be thinking?  Are they deliberately trying to go out of business?  The quality of merchandise on both channels has really declined, the new host hires are unfamiliar with their products, and now re-runs.  I believe it is time to say adieu.

Perhaps if all who want to "watch" would actually shop (psst this is a shopping channel, not an entertainment channel) it would be cost effective to keep live programming.  Losing money running live programming during the night increases the prices for everyone.

@Phillygurrl  I agree with you. Q is trying to save money any way they can. First by all the reruns, and then by hiring inexperienced 20-something hosts, who's major, and sometimes only,  qualifications would be speaking at warp speed. They have little to no product knowledge, and there's just no connection with the audience. Q doesn't know their demographics. People in their 20s aren't watching and buying from them. It's hard to believe there aren't candidates for hosting who are in their 30's, 40's, or more. Would they be so bad?!

The old saying of you have to spend money to make money is very true, and one they should consider implementing.

It is hard to be a regular year round Q watcher anyway these days.  They show the same stuff over and over again.  Little if anything new or innovative.  How many stand mixers, Keurig, extra phone batteries, IT Cosmetics can we use?

Same with HSN.  Andrew Lessman is more boring than watching paint dry.  You have to have a gigantic throat to squeeze his huge vitamins down.

Qvc is going down hill fast,the time to shop is now recordings !!! WOW !!! And prices of clothing is out of control!!  Its time to shop for Christmas they better get it together!!!

I agree, the hosts certainly are not trained like they used to and have a difficult time relating to some of the products or how they may be useful to the audience.  If QVC needs to record shows then maybe they need to reduce the channels and the staff how can't relate to the audience.  My example is Shawn, I swear she sits more than she stands and she is so condescending.  I have tried to watch her programs, but find it difficult when she sits and talks about "herself" or when she stands she tries to "walk" and "pose" like a model.  She interrupts the guests as well.  QVC know your audience and listen to us.  We do not like pre-recorded shows.
