Apparently, the 'powers that be' must have read most of our posts about Amy and her intolerable voice and unfounded behavior. At 10 o'clock, her new time slot, our family will be watching the news at that time. Thanks QVC ... you do listen to our comments~!

That's primetime on the west coast

@Mona_L, I thought Shawn was moving to 10pm and with Lori/Logo and Amy was taking over PMStyle from 7-10. I’m confused now.

@sunchildAmy is from 7-10 and Shawn is at 10. Not sure what the other post was saying.

@EdithEllenLily I hope you see this post. Do not let any posters drive you away from the boards. Most posters on here are very nice, but as on any board there are a few trouble makers. Jot down their names, and just ignore their posts. You have every right to be here as anyone else.

Don't let them take away the enjoyment you have talking to people you like! Hope to see you around!

I work during the day, and when I return home in the evening on Monday nights, I would turn on PMS. I never warmed to Shawn. When Lisa R. was the host, she could sell me anything. I am sorry for all of the people that hated LR, but she was a darn good sales woman. Shawn was ok in the beginning in my view, but she definitely started to change, and as of late I can't tolerate her for longer than 5-10 minutes without changing the channel. She is just plain rude. I have seen her be rude to the models, vendors, and background studio people. I am just shocked that management has never spoken with her about how she speaks to people. It makes me wonder how she is when the cameras are not rolling.

I forgot to add that she seems to be unprepared frequently.

I will give Amy a chance. I do think that she has a better fashion sense/style.

@icezeus I don't think people hated LR. I am not sure where you got that. Each host has things about them that we don't like, I would imagine. LR was a very good host. I think people are sick of the crazy posts that continue to this day and how she is trying to sell things. I think in no way think she was hated by very many. I know many complained about her staring at herself.

Let's face it Q has changed from back then. I do not watch the fashion shows, so I can't comment on who is not prepared or not. I think their prices are crazy, and they can put LG with any host, and I won't watch, because she drives me nuts.

I saw SK be rude recently as you stated. It shocked me as well. I don't think I have ever heard that out of a host before. I find the hard sell not good. That is one thing I liked about Lisa Mason. She would say "If you can afford it" I will buy more from a host like that, then one that is pushing too hard to sell. That is just me. Q has had many good hosts over the years. I think to be good at sales on a shopping channel, people have to like you somewhat.

I think we are going to see Q and HSN change a lot next year. I guess we have to stay tuned to see if they are good changes. I watch Carolyn a lot in mornings, but I am usually doing something else. I wish and hope they get away from all the shoe shows. Too many!

Amy can't control her voice, but you CAN control your mouth and in this case what you write.

Are you aware the hosts may read this? So why be so hurtful? My Dad gave me sound advice when I was a child; to say something unkind towards someone is a direct reflection on your character and your family.

If you dislike the sound coming from your TV, turn it off and do something kind for someone.

These hosts. models, etc are human beings with feelings. They have done nothing to hurt you and you do not know what is happening in their lives. Our world has become so full of hatred and unkindness that it breaks my heart.

Find something to smile about and more importantly make someone else smile, you will be a lot happier.

Merry Christmas

I have been watching QVC on and off for many years.

It has changed significantly over the last two years.Gone are the hosts like Kathy Levine, Lisa Mason and Lisa Robertson. The other hosts who have been with QVC for years, are wonderful.They are on point and professional and I hope that they stay.

RE: The newer hosts. I do enjoy Shawn for the most part. But at times, she seems to be a phony. She should wait until the camera cuts away, before changing her facial expressions.(hint)

The other "recent hires" are just ok - I have to be in the mood to watch them. Amy and Kerstin try too hard. I basically only watch the hosts who have been with QVC for years.

I hope that they stay with the show. Good Luck QVC!

@BalletBabe: What you said about LIKABILITY is the crux of the matter for television sales people, IMO. If you don't like them, you won't watch, and therefore won't buy what they're selling.

While Amy doesn't have a good speaking voice for TV, at least she's likable and seems to enjoy her job. Shawn, on the other hand, is hard to warm up to, and appears to be bored and just going through the motions.

I don't think either of these hosts is the long-term solution for Monday night fashion. JMHO.

Y'all are funny...you said the exact same thing when Lisa left...Amy is the best for PMStyle because she actually has style and everything looks good on her...congrats Amy!
