I know many won't agree with me on this topic, but.....
Why is it necessary to have two hosts presenting a product, plus the product host, and then another "special" host (i.e., Mallie, Dennis Basso, etc.). This is truly overkill. Honestly, QVC administrators, if we, the customer, want to buy something, we will. But please stop the overkill. Just my opinion.

@JazzyGirl Agree. If QVC survives, I see AI taking over the "hosting" duties. Would be a big money saver, I think.

i have no issues with this
and the perceived savings of having less is not accurate

Qs president has described Q as "retail and entertainment." Corporate obviously likes the dancing, yelling and singing.

How so? Do you have the information that proves that? Seems like if you're only paying one host and one vendor, Q would be saving quite a bit of money?

Welcome to the forum.
I understand the logic of your comments; however, you need to direct your words on paper / email to the Corporate Officers rather than to us wee posters for results. They are the powers that be...

I would assume that the hosts are salaried employees. Therefore, there are no savings for having fewer hosts.

Probably because not one host lately prepares for the show they have. They need two so one can help the other do the job one host used to be able to handle. Now the have to dance and tell stupid stories that are useless

Definitely! In no possible world would the QVC hosts be hourly employees. Therefore, they will be paid the same no matter how many hours they work.

If QVC needs to save money the first thing they should cut is payroll. Two or more people presenting an item is a waste of money, and if a vendor wants to send a sales person take advantage of it and save the $$$$ unless the presenter job is a union job.
