Out of curiosity I added up the hours of gold jewelry programs every May since the May is Gold Month event started in 2007. The number of hours dropped after the financial crisis- but not until after the biggest May is Gold Month ever in 2008. From 2009 to present they average to about 32.5. I believe it's interesting that despite QVC admitting their jewelry programming in 2016 was focused on clearing inventory that they still had over 30 hours. Also interesting that they scheduled about average number of hours in 2017, yet distributed it very unevenly- 20 hours on May 11.
Year | Hours | TSVs |
2007 | 56 | 3 |
2008 | 62 | 4 |
2009 | 34 | 2 |
2010 | 32 | 2 |
2011 | 28 | 1 |
2012 | 29 | 1 |
2013 | 31 | 1 |
2014 | 39 | 1 |
2015 | 34 | 1 |
2016 | 31 | 0 |
2017 | 35 | 1 |

I suspect that it has much to do with the price and scarcity of gold. I also suspect that May won't be gold month much longer as it becomes more expensive and harder to find in mass quantities.
Where, on Earth, did you find the info..and what possessed you to compile it? Lol
