Q Talk

What I find odd is how everything is just peachy at HSN.......though they did let a couple of hosts go awhile back but it was nothing like what's happening here.

I would suspect that some models will be gone as well soon if not already.  They could likely be considered independent contractors and any layoffs would not be included in QVC numbers.  By now QVC has figured out how to work without all of these extra people around.  Some of the product reps could be next - I haven't really missed seeing them live on set for the past 4 months.  It also seems to me to be a waste of money to pay a Host an actual Host salary if they are only going to be doing Social Media during a show.  Just seems like that could be someone much lower on the Pay scale so I'm not sad or surprised to see Stacey go.

Someone asked why HSN hasn't been seeing these layoffs - My guess would be that QVC was programming on 3 channels while HSN I don't think ever moved beyond the 1.

HSN let 3 hosts go at once about a year ago.

That made them appropriately staffed. QVC over hired and then went to repeat programming. Not a good combination for the on-air talent.

I'd love to see Shawn, Amy and Jane T leave. The evening programming with these hosts leave alot to be desired. Time to shake up the programming.

I am sure their employer has different opinion based on production reports and by the way they are like by many.

Elise posted that she will be on Shawn Saves Christmas tonight

@SurferWifePardon my error. I included Elise's name because I'd seen it in another post, while I was trying to think of Kristine.😊 Sorry for the confusion it caused.😁

I'm just glad that Elise is still around.  I love watching her.  She is so cute & fun to watch.

[SandySparkles]

@SurferWife  I wholeheartedly agree! She really is a sweetheart!😊 It's hard seeing any of them go, as changes understandably must be made, but there are two highly favored hosts that I would truly miss, if they left by similar circumstances as the others.😔

I think some of the models are in a much better position than the departed hosts were, as The Q relies heavily on fashion, and the consumer needs to have a visual before deciding whether or not to purchase. There is a handful of models favored by the designers that worked consistently, modeling for each channel, and I don't see that changing in the foreseeable future-at least I hope not.🤞😊

If HSN and QVC are now connected...why have two channels? Just one channel would make more sense.
