QVC isn't an entertainment program. It's mega retailer and they showcase the brands and products that they know will sell. Perhaps you should look at the program guide and only watch the "show" that interest you. I can't imagine sitting and watching hour after hour of QVC programming the way I did 20 years ago.
Any good retailer turns their inventory over. How many stores do you know that keep the same clothing on the floor all year long? They must not be selling if the same merchandise is still around a year later. I check the web page and the same things are hanging around all year.

@stevieb well said!

@febe1 ha, well that scratches another day when I might have watched QVC. I don't care for philosphy much any more. I have a few items that are auto-delivery that other people enjoy as gifts so I'm going to let them continue on until the auto-delivery runs out.
Yep, I will indeed turn the tv off when there is nothing on it that I want to see. That goes for QVC, as well as other programming.

Because they sell!!!
If you go back and compare their financials it used to be increases in units sold were at 5-9% Now they are lucky to get a 3-4%....And during some quarters HSN has actually beat QVC in terms of percentage of units sold. What QVC is doing with all the repetition is allienating their LONG TERM customers. QVC seems content to attract new or "drive by customers" (those that purchase one item and are done with QVC) and QVC doesn't seemed concern at all with customer retention...Which is odd because HSN puts that in their finanncial reports.....And it's funny how QVC has adopted HSN's sales gimmicks with recent emphasis on the Q card and extra easy pays or easy pays anytime if you use the Q card (a page right out of HSN's promotions) And more easy pays and one time only--QVC's ventures where millions was spent on SEND THE TREND and OODLES doesn't appear to have helped.....and recently QVC bought Zulilly in an attempt to attract a younger demographic......it appears QVC is hurting....
Oh and if you combine QVC USA and QVC International markets, QVC had a 1% decline in the last quarter (they really took a hit in foreign markets due to unfavorable exchange rates---so why would they open a market in France????)

Seriously @GinaV24 @febe1... and today is yet another version of a coffee maker, oh and our weekly Day 2 of In The Kitchen... For me, yet another day not to tune in... Such a stale formula...

@stevieb yes, I won't bother watching QVC today. I had scratched Wednesday off as not interesting because they always focus on kitchen/cooking, just like Sundays. I don't need new stuff for my kitchen - at least not the stuff that QVC is selling.

I know @GinaV24, another day of the week I pretty much know I don't even have to look at the lineup to know there's nothing I want to see. Like I said, such a stale programming formula.

@stevieb yes, I agree, not only are the products repetitive but the time, too. Tuesday is beauty day most of the time and really I already have enough "stuff" that I have been going thru and donating unopened extras or giving it away to friends.
I understand that people like different things and that's great but over and over and over is monotony.
