Re: Include the Host With Show Listing

Buying and watching two different reasons.  People sometimes complain about the host and they really are only watching for entertainment purposes.  The final decision people buy is because they want the product at the price it's being offered.

@Plaid Pants2 HSN doesn't seem to have a problem with listing hosts.  (Not sure if Evine does or not, since I don't purchase from them.)

If they sold only to those intending to buy, they would go out of business. They depend on those who watch for entertainment and see something they can't resist to put their bottom line in the black.

Who is hosting is irrelevant to me.

Re: Include the Host With Show Listing

They can electronically change the last-minute changes of hosts in a split second.  I v*te for listing the scheduled hosts, too.

'More or less', 'Right or wrong', 'In general', and 'Just thinking out loud ' (as usual).

Re: Include the Host With Show Listing

I don't care who hosts.  I care about the products.  Yesterday was the first time since January that I tuned in.  It had been over a year prior to that.  And it's all due to products.....or rather, the same dozen or so products, or variations thereof, shown week after week.

Re: Include the Host With Show Listing

Example:

 

It's Sunday, and I tune in to watch ITKWD, only, surprise, David isn't there, it's Jane, instead, because David called out sick that morning.

 

Now, when I pull up my tv listings on my tv screen, it is still going to say,"ITKWD", and NOT "ITKWJ".

 

So listing the host of the show is meaningless, especially when the host can be switched out at the literal last minute.

 

It will NOT be reflected on the show title when I pull up the listings on my tv screen.

Re: Include the Host With Show Listing

That's what I was gonna say. Half the time the people your used to aren't hosting anyway. Like Carolyn and Gary Goben, David takes lot of time off, but, I don't begrudge him he deserves probably hears his name being used 50 times in one sentence in his sleep. LOL

 

I'm sure the women have family situations pop up all the time.

Re: Include the Host With Show Listing

Someone mentioned that I as a buyer would buy the product if the price suited me...not true,because if I see a host that I do not care to watch,I do not care what she is selling.I change the channel!
