Re: QVC owner Liberty Interactive buys HSN for $2.1 billion

I was sorry to read about this. I think competition is good for the consumer and HSN is much more updated and progressive than QVC. They have a lot of up to date styles in shoes, purses and clothing. There prices are also much better when they have sales they really do have sale prices. Thank goodness we as consumers have the option of going direct to purchase what we want. I have been a QVC watcher since the first day they came on the air and a lot has changed through the years. Some good changes and some not so good. HSN I have been watching for twenty five years and they have really stepped it up over the last ten years.

Hoping that the powers that be at QVC can learn a few things from HSN.

 

I had the feeling something was up at HSN with Mindy Grossman leaving. I guess there is no need to replace her now if Mike George takes over as CEO for both networks.

Wow I am disappointed to read this news.

There are many elements: wind, fire, water
But none quite like the element of surprise

Re: QVC owner Liberty Interactive buys HSN for $2.1 billion

When Mindy Grossman left HSN for Weight Watchers, I had questioned whether something was going on and she saw writing on the wall that prompted her exit.

 

I wonder if this was it?  The article says HSN will be overseen by George, the current CEO of QVC.
