Q Talk

I'm an infrequent QVC watcher and/or visitor to the forums but am curious if I missed an announcement about QVC2 - it seems the live programming is now "brand-Outlet".  Saw the blurb about the possible bankruptcy and wondered if "Outlet" was tied to that somehow?  Again, just curious.  Thx.

Haven't seen an announcement, but if you are going to call something outlet, you should have outlet prices.  Another miss for QVC.

You can check out "The Outlet" on the main page.  It's just a section with discounted/sale items.

I've recently been to the QVC outlet in Frasier, and the prices are much cheaper than the online "Outlet" prices. That being said, the store reminds me of a poorly run thrift store.

@NickAtNite - QVC is just doing a promotion for the weekend with "outlet pricing" being featured on Q2. The contents and approach are nothing special or different other than the naming—and this is not the first time they've featured "outlet" in the name of shows, either. Just another brilliant marketing strategy (or so they think).

thanks for the explanations from everyone

Q3 and HSN 2 are all reruns

@PA Mom-mom  -  What happened at the store to make you say it was poorly run?

@San Antonio Gal.  I've been in that store and it was the junkiest retail situation I ever saw. Stuff strewn everywhere. I circled the perimeter of the store and right back out the front door.

@San Antonio Gal  I have to give it to @Kachina624 . That description was spot on. I was at the outlet store about 20 or 25 years ago. It was at the QVC HQ. It was impeccable and read like a department store showroom. Then we came to the new outlet. What a disappointment!!
