Re: Why were the hosts names removed from the program guide?

  Looks as though on  Monday night Stacey Rusch  will be on with Shawn K . Not sure if Amy's there too.

Just hope Shawn does not start her  asking Stacey embarrassing things  or talking over her on TV as she has done  with previous co -Hosts

Re: Why were the hosts names removed from the program guide?

There's a chance it might just be another website/system programming issue. The daily and weekly program guides for time zones other than Eastern Time have had errors for almost a month now.

 

Three of the main problems have been the daily guide indicating it is showing a non-ET lineup as selected when it is actually showing programming in ET and the weekly guide having blank blocks instead of displaying shows as well as listing days where the programming just appears to stop late in the day (there is blank space rather than the grid lines or any show details). And there are still occasional instances where one or more 1:00 a.m. shows in a non-ET calendar are listed as "QVC TV Show" (or something similar) instead of listing the actual show information.

 

I really could write pages about the issues with this website; there is such a lack of understanding of best practices in programming, design, development, functionality, user experience, and e-commerce that I'm surprised it doesn't completely implode more often.

Now we have our answer, which I suspected the whole time. QVC takes the host names off the program guide when there's a host leaving. They did this before in 2022 when Katrina left.

Re: Why were the hosts names removed from the program guide?

ha @skatting44 I saw the beginning of the show with Shawn & Stacey and Shawn right away started in with her 20 question routine and let's get to know you better.  Stacey was nice & professional about it but didn't seem enthusiastic (which I totally get).

 

Now I've read that Stacey is leaving QVC.  Makes you wonder doesn't it?

Re: Why were the hosts names removed from the program guide?

I agree. I never watch the hosts who do this a lot. I am bored to death with their stories and how many they bought. I do find it okay with Mary Beth who doesn’t do it constantly. When she does it, I know she really liked it. She isn’t a phony.

Didn't one of the hosts have a problem with a stalker a while back?

Yes, from 1995-2001 (see article). And QVC took host names off the online program guide by 2002. They didn't return until 2019. Stalking has nothing to do with host names disappearing in 2024.

Re: Why were the hosts names removed from the program guide?

I have hardly been watching since the names were removed from the program guide.   The program guide has the appearance that is could be  taped programs, not live.  Not a fan.
