Well it was SATURDAY----AM STYLE 6AM CENTRAL to 9AM CENTRAL Live show (Carolyn was host Leah was out) and live SATURDAY MORNING GIFTS 9AM CENTRAL Alberti and Kerstin---normal programming for CENTRAL Time Zone ----clock on my cable box is exactly correct 

These were individual items in the show presentations and presented as ENCORE PRESENTATIONS by the host and on the TV Screen Information

QVC is between a rock and a hard place if their open-to-buy budget is sitting in the warehouse in old inventory. I suspect as others have posted that they are trying to move these products to free up warehouse space as well as cash.

Agree that there's been too much repetitive product this season. I really don't want to see another HALO airing, or several other products with repeated hard promotion. Enough, already.

Maybe the new viewers aren't as familiar with these products as some of us old timer's, so it does seem to be targeting newbies this year. It's also easier for the Q to supply the same products that have been reliable sellers. That is, until all the long term viewers already have the items and may not want the new and iproved version. I get that they need the newbies.

I check in most evenings to see what's up, but something is repeat airing almost every single time I tune in. I wanted to see new things, too, this holiday season.

Instead, I hit my remote more often now, with only brief views. More time checking things out online. If it's favorite hosts, I admit I will watch for some entertainment value.

I've noticed the fast talking, even on our local news.  Think it's a generational thing.  I'm old and slow.

I've noticed the same.  But I'm not so sure it's just generational.  We have a few local anchors that have been at their same positions for years, and in the past few years I've noticed they're speed talking now too when they never used to.  It's hard to understand the news stories, yet they take time to chitchat.  It's irritating.

Glad the fast talking apparently isn't a thing in SA Texas...the only fast talking in the newscast is traffic reports and sport's highlights

Oh ok, individual items were encore's and not the programs.

You're fortunate.

Some of it is their fault, but I'll admit some of it is probably my hearing too.  One of our young anchors was doing a Christmas story the other day and she kept talking about a store filling children's "toilets".  What?!  Why in the world would they do that?  Turns out she was saying "toy lists".  Big difference.😂🤭

In your defense annunciation and pronounciations are big problems too....
