Q Talk

Many of these vendors turned 'hosts' are doing a great job I think. They could easily take over as regular permanent hosts.

I've not watched QVC 2 or 3, they're neither on my basic cable and I don't feel like searching for them on my Roku. I don't understand the concept and have often wondered why they interrupt programming to show us what's on QVC 2, guessing it's to let everyone know it's there.

If you don't like what's on Q1 they'd prefer that you switch to Q2 rather than shut them out completely. 

I've heard Q1 hosts steer viewers to this "alternative program ".

Totally makes marketing sense.

They interrupt to show you what is on the other channel to encourge sales!

Sell/Offer you two items at once! 

Pop ups on websites and on air are designed for that exact purpose....to increase sales

Bottom line is all QVC channels are shopping channels to get us to buy.  Promoting across is designed to entice us to buy.

I took a look at today's Program Guide. I see that any QVC watching for me today will definitely be on Q2.  No repeated Shark TSV, no 3 hours of Susan Graver, no Sandra in the Garden.... 

I'll peek back on the main channel for Down Home With David though.

They have been showing him on a split screen for months but clearly he is in the studio.  He and the host will look at each other from time to time.  Also the video and audio quality is supurb when he is on so.......he is in the studio.

I like having options.

I dont quite understand the concept of airing reruns of shows--- (except QVC saves money---they dont have to hire as many hosts, and they save on production costs)....There's even a disclaimer that prices or special offers may no longer apply, quantities may be different.....Therefore, I dont want to watch a show and you find out that an item in the size or color was already sold out, and you dont even find that out until you go to order the item .....🤔
