Understand some of the folks leaving.  I have to wonder whether the Q will get rid of Paula Deen.  I enjoy her shows some of the time (when the fake drawl doesn't get to me) and hate to see her cut out again over something that happened years ago.  I'm sure there are others too.

I found this interesting...

"QVC has 29 on-air hosts, while HSN has 24"

 

 

"Never argue with a fool. Onlookers may not be able to tell the difference."

Paula Deen isn't on HSN, she's on Enine.

Wonder when Andrew will show up on QVC? Says we will start seeing HSN products on Q's 3 channels.

Well......I will probably continue to go to Amazon when I see something on the Q to check the price there.....

 

So...unless they get more competitive on pricing and a whole lot better with shipping time, It won't matter to me..

Both businesses will be run separately.     They have not merged.........they just have the same "parent".

I doubt we'll see very many changes.  Paula Deen is on Evine. 

 

This is last week's news and has already been thoroughly hashed out here on the boards.

@Desertdi  Yes we'll all be one happy family with "Big Daddy" watching over us all.

I like reading Linda Moss's Home Shoppingista blog as she likes to discuss shopping channel's financial statements.

 

I wouldn't be so sure about the two companies QVC and HSN being run separately or else will those cost saving synergies be realized? It may be costy cutting behind the scenes that the public won't see but I predict a lot of layoffs.
