@ScarletDove 

i cannot follow your post...initials.

@temptations fan  It seems everyone has an issue wth the 3 hosts you mentioned. Everytime they're on I just can't  watch as well. I'm sorry to say I find them extremely irrataing, not to offend them but I can't watch them for longer than 3 seconds.  Shawne used to be someone I used to like to watch.  I go online and check if there was someing I missed and purchase it that way.  

Like someone mentioned QVC has saved me lots of money since  I don't watch or purchase as much anymore.

@LTT1  ?? Sorry for the ??, just realized you do not know the hosts with the initials....I will not name for obvious reasons ("poof"), you will have to figure out who these people are...use the guide!

@ScarletDove 

Whst a good suggestion! Thank you!

I am deciphering it right now...so far I have CK worked out!

ITA with everything posted so far, except I do like JB and PD together. But I remember a time when I didn’t care for their interactions.  Maybe they changed or maybe I did.  These are two of my favs...abs I do love MBR. 

If these hosts do not appeal to the younger viewers, I understand.

I must say that I love a couple of the younger hosts...love their energy! CK I seem to remember enjoying...same with EI and KM.💗

I guess I am in the minority here.   I personally am liking a lot of the changes.  I do not watch in the mornings,  but I am enjoying seeing Pat again, and Others.   I was so happy to see the shoe shopping cut way back. As for the new hosts?   I love the new ones over night and I think CK is doing a good job.  The older hosts that are being moved might have something to do with Q realizing that they are most likely to retire at some point and maybe they are trying to get us used to the newer ones.   

I don't really watch much during the year.  Mostly around Christmas.  I think the prices are out of hand on some things, but I still shop mostly in stores rather then on tv.   My guess is Q is moving hosts around to see who sells what the best.

I happen to agree with your assessment, although I have different complaints and/or praises for different hosts....who as we know will or will not make sales and will or will not create and draw an audience.  I personally do not like the morning girls take-over of Q afternoon 3 hrs M-Th, they are boring and I will not watch; put them back in morning, these afternoon shows drag and cannot watch!  And now we are inundated with CK in the evening with AS; CK is loud, boisterous and needs to be put back on the overnight!  Watching her with LDelOlio yesterday made me turnoff. Some hosts AP and RB doing gourmet food shows are obviously seeking attention with unprofessional and childish behavior and I refuse to watch. Needless to say the *star* kitchen host displays immature, foolish behavior that QVC takes to the bank; I will not watch. Basically what I will say is the changes have made me see the plusses and minuses of QVC, and I am turning off, watching less and buying less.  I have watched since CVN days because I wanted to make my life easier by buying online, not to watch hosts acting like they are auditioning.  Thank you QVC for saving me some money!

I watched some of the Ldelolio show last night. I kept laughing because CK kept saying no way. and every time she would say it he would say yes way....

Excellent post, and I agree 100%. Frankly, many of the hosts (not all) and products have become stale, annoying, unexciting and boring.   Too repetitive . . . the same products over and over again within a short period of time. I very seldom watch anymore though I’ve been a customer for years.  For things I need, I order from QVC.com.  The only show I look forward to is Friday Night Beauty with Sandra and Alberti. Like others, I am a fan of  Katie McGee. In my opinion, she is a star and underutilized. I’m not a fan of any of the home or kitchen shows, but that’s just me.  I appreciate the fact we all have varying likes and dislikes.  My cable does not have QVC2 or the beauty channel, and I’m not going to take the time to stream either.

I agree with a lot of what you said, @temptations fan .  I feel that QVC is trying very hard to attract the younger generation (as they probably should) and totally ignoring us long-time and once-loyal older customers.  QVC is doing what they think they need to do in order to make more sales and $$$.  

I miss the old schedule and some of the hosts and programs, but times change.  There are zillions of other retailers out there, and I enjoy shopping around.

@tototwo   My dd works full time & on days off, the last thing she wants to do is plant herself in front of a shopping channel. She grabs some friends for a trip to the mall and lunch. What younger audience are they looking for? Much younger than that are in school all day.

QVC built their following when they had almost no competition from online shopping...now they are not the only game in town. It surprises meh that they don’t want to complete with the competition...if they did they would lower shipping offer promotions, and pay attention to who viewers prefer as hosts.
