Are they making HSN look and feel more like QVC?



I have noticed alot of differences. Well since QVC took over they let go of all those old HSN staff. The graphics, the look of the shows snd the way they are produced feels like QVC. I am wondering what long term HSN hosts feel. Not just the crossovers they even given hosts like Helen Keaney better airtime. Anyone noticing the feeling more like the Q at HSN?

I see the same hosts and vendors they've always had.  Who would replace them if they "let them all go"?  I think @JONNYSBRO is prone to exageration.

QVC didn't take over HSN.  Quarate owns QVC and several other companies and also bought HSN.  Who has HSN let go?

I might look at HSN again. I stopped when it seemed to be loud, carnival barker style.

Haven't noticed any significant difference.   I have watched BOTH since I got cable.......sometime in the 80s

@JONNYSBROWho are the "old HSN staff"????  I personally can watch most of the hosts on HSN longer than any of the hosts on QVC.  I hope QVC and HSN remain separate, distinct shopping channels with no crossovers in either products or hosts.  JMHO!!!

To quote Robin Thicke we have some blurred lines here.  In my opinion HSN is starting to look like the red headed stepchild of the family.  Now, I don't know whose fault that is.  I would say it's really ramped up since Qurate bought out all of HSN and before they become QXH.
