I've bought a bunch of items from this network and I don't even wear a watch. I go through our Hopper Guide and record Electronics and other shows that I think have items that interest me. Their prices are much better than this network and they have products you have never seen here.

If it is still owned by NBC I think that network has much bigger problems with their Main Network, when it comes to ranking at the bottom in about every category, than they do with their shopping network.

For me I wonder how they even get sponsors when many of their shows have cable networks having more viewers than they do, even in some of the Prime Time Slots.

Okay, Rupert. LOL!

I've read the old Shop NBC used to have to pay NBC a huge, Multi-million dollar fee for the use of their name. The name change saves them all that money.

And Comcast owns 100% of NBC Universal now, so they're not going anywhere.

When the shopping channel changed names, I thought they said the watch shows were going to be retired.

Has anyone bought any of the fashions they sell? I think a lot before buying from shopHQ as you must pay shipping charges both ways. That can end up costing plenty.

I don't watch them due to all the watches, but I order from them when they have a jewelry or kitchen TTV. I'm on their mailing list, so I get daily TTV notifications. They do have a lot of nice merchandise on their website that I wish they'd show on the air. I just can't imagine that they sell enough watches after all these years to make it worth airing them 24/7.

I bought a One World hoodie in a silky type material that I really like. It looks adorable with jeans. That's about it. Most of my purchases are jewelry or kitchen related.

I am guessing they are saving money by not having a live show all night...they start their re-runs at 2am till 8am....

They also cash in nicely with Skinn and Isomers, and the 3 Amigos jewelry.

I finally donated a One World top. It was cute with a flattering cut, but it was itchy.
