For how overadvertised these 3 companies are on QVC makes one wonder if their hands are in the  ownership. Way too much patriotism.

I don't know, but if it sells well, then it would get more airtime.  Plus, the percentage of commission that QVC would get for each one that is sold. 

It would make sense that whatever continue to sells, would be on more often.

And if they are? So what? It's business, not illegal.

My local grocery store sells Rostelli items.  They are not exclusive to QVC.

Since QVC's main goal is to make money, they would offer the items that sell the most at a higher profit margin more often.  That's just good business.

Patriotism?  That makes no sense at all.

I don't know about Rostelli, but my guess is the QVC has an arrangement with Temptations similar to the one they have with Susan Graver.

Most of what QVC sells now is house brands.  Even things that aren't like many of the "brand name" electronics are basically house brands for them.

Stuff is either "made for QVC" or old close-out items they buy on the cheap when new models come out.  Clothing is made for them, house brands and recognized labels that are really QVC brands. 

QVC isn't what they started out as.

I think she meant to say patronize or patronizing but wrote patriotism in error.

I was recently surprised to learn that apparently Curtis Stone salmon actually is from Rastelli with his name on it. (it was on the box)

That's correct. I ordered Curtis Stone salmon from HSN and was surprised that it was shipped by Rastelli.  HSN customer service confirmed that Rastelli is a "white label" provider for Curtis Stone.
