Re: QVC/HSN MAYBE FILING FOR CHAPTER11

I can't say this is a surprise. QVC got away from their core business quite some time ago.

Many people have been sharing their thoughts on this board, and no one is listening. Why would you need 5 channels, three which show nothing but reruns (this includes HSN). I changed the channel some time ago...the Quality, Value and Convenience left the building a long time ago.Good luck, you have the market on shopping networks.Hire some talented people who know how to maket your brand.

I don't disagree with you. For years people on this board have been saying the same things over and over and nobody listened. And for those saying they're not gonna go into bankruptcy, the writing is on the wall.

I like HSN, while the Q got the majority of my business. HSN got a fair share as well and they have just ruined it. I love Marla's clothing and they used to have 10 to 12 pages to look at now, The inventory is just stale. She used to have weekly shows that were must see TV  for me now she's on very hit or miss. 


I used to love the HSN holiday shows, and while the vast majority of my purchases were Valerie. I did purchase a good amount from their shows. Now their inventory is down to nothing. Valerie is another one, her stuff is just a rehash in different iterations. Nothing new or exciting. 

one of my favorite shows was the Szish list. Every week Katrina highlighted new iand different brands that get no airtime on the Q. I bought so much stuff from her during those shows.

I believe I heard Amy Stran say she was going to Palm Springs for a Logo show.  This seems pretty frivolous for a company several billion dollars in debt.

@Wj110  you could say the sane thing about them sending both John B and Mary D to ATL to kick off the grand opening on the Belle studio.  

 

I understand that Kim G is helping to keep them a float but still seems like an unnecessary expense at this time.

The creditors will keep things in check if and when Chapter 11 is filed.  The largest secured creditor is JP Morgan.  Bankers will be in charge.

 

Add in the Unsecured Creditors Committee.   In bankruptcy reorganization monthly financial statements are required.   The UCC can review every $ spent.

 

Bankers and unhappy unpaid vendors won't put up with nonsense.
