In the Shoe Shopping with Jane show that just aired (with Amy filling in) the reps from Ryka, Vionic, Clarks and Vince Camuto were all in studio! 

Kim Gravel, who had a two hour show this afternoon and on for another two hours now is broadcasting from home.

I'm not sure if there is any clear and consistent rule? I don't mind either...

Just like with my job, there are new ways to be efficient while getting the job done.  We've probably saved about $50,000 just this year by my boss having weekly Zoom calls instead of biweekly meetings at a hotel conference room.  We all office from home (field mgt in the restaurant industry) and this is so much better than what we use to do.

@DSD2.  If they have a TSV,

They all appear in the studio.  Many of the vendors, who aren't company owners, live in the Philly area.  Probably hired to save travel expense.

A "vendor" can be someone selling pretzels on a street corner.   I don't put much stock in their jabber...

Nowadays, some of these "vendors "  on QVC are nothing more than influencers. Go back to having one host on a show. Too much off topic chat with multiple hosts.

Large businesses have conducted meetings & business via teleconferences for years. Zoom & Skype are utilized in almost every business since the pandemic. It’s cost saving & entirely fine for vendors to remain at home. Why should they come to PA for a five minute presentation? Flights are a mess, hotels, food etc. Vendors who live in Pa might opt for in studio appearances but it should be optional. The TSV might warrant in person visits but not really necessary.
