They invite someone in to speak about their product in regards to national heritage and right in the middle of talking about his products host abruptly interrupts him and says, "so sorry, we're out of time."  Why bother having these people on air?

It's QVC not PBS.  They are selling products.  Only goal here--sell sell sell.  Just business.

There are time constraints on every part of every presentation.  If someone babbles on incessantly, they have no choice but to cut him short.  Some people would go on all day.

Time is money for QVC.  They probably tell the guests to speak quickly but that's hard to do so time runs out.  The hosts are not being rude, the guests know that.

I do think it rude. The host spends all the time, talking, laughing and talking nonsense, then turns and asks vendor to explain in sixty seconds. 

I would like to hear some expertise, and it isn't coming from the host.

I don't think it's rude.   I think it's reality.   Hosts, vendors, reps of all sorts have to learn to work with the clock -- and it is a learning experience.

This is an old complaint but a very valid one.  I agree but as it has been said, the Q is a shopping channel and the bottom line is to sell and keep selling.  These hosts are sales people bottom line , some are more courteous and professional than others.

They were not selling anything, they were interviewing.  The product was not sold on QVC.
