QVC Group is going to file Chapter 11 Bankruptcy
Whoever runs QVC and HSN has run it into the ground. They are in so much debt they need to file Chapter 11 to try to fix it. I used to spend 10’s of thousands of dollars on HSN, now I buy practically nothing. For me it went downhill when Cindy Grossman left as HSN’s CEO. There are no good designers anymore. Marla Wynne is even asking people where they shop retail on Instagram because she must see the end coming. Other than fashion I can find any other products cheaper online or Amazon. I now buy clothes from other designers, the clothes are more expensive but I would rather own something special of excellent quality then the dowdy junk they cell now. Who decided mature woman want to wear dowdy clothes?
That’s what happens when you put a man at the top.

Personally, I would like to see Quarate turn on the “way back machine” and watch how QVC used to do business.
A w I d e array of products with name brand quality merchandise. Quicker programs where hosts gave complete and succinct product info NOT weaving into every product, some inane personal story or dancing, singing, preening and staring at themselves in the monitor.These days QVC practically owns every product they sell. Their ownership has provided a snorefest of boring clothing, cheapened junk and narrowed the variety of things they DON’T own. Several hosts per show is completely unnecessary. Hasbeen celebrity lines slapping their name on clothing as though they are capable of creating a pattern or threading a sewing machine…..
…… lest we forget their constantly throwing the over 50 and menopause in our faces…. ALLLLL OF IT IS UNAPPEALING. go back to the drawing board Quarate before you have no choice but to file for bankruptcy. And don’t hate on us when our reaction is …. I TOLD YOU SO.-

It’s become the Kim Gravel show on QVC (overpriced ) and the second rate offerings with washed up television/movie stars on HSN.Why is Iman and Anthony not at HSN anymore? You have 1 Designer C.Wonder and an ok Giuliana. I still shop but the days of joy is gone…the movie themes and capsule collections are gone.The video playback is now .
-
Iman retired and they let Anthony go so he has a lawsuit against them for 30 million.
-
Anthony will lose that lawsuit
-
They pushed Iman out.

QVC Group has not filed anything, yet. No decision as of this post. They are “talking to creditors”. So, we will keep it as they “are considering filing Chapter 11”.
IMO when I started watching Q almost 20 years ago, many (not all!) of their clothes were already dowdy. Same on HSN. I am not sure who was running what at what time, but who is buying “coins”? Is “crafting” paying the corporate debts? Beauty is almost non-existent on HSN, always Nakery-you can find their shows 5 days a week, I think. Even Signature A is hardly on anymore. Seems Lancome is gone and no new shows scheduled. I wonder how long Colleen will still sell on H?? I liked Antthony as a vendor but his designs did not appeal to me personally, but I did appreciate that he knew the woman he was designing for. I did purchase IMAN a lot, the first time around, but not at all when she came back after a couple years. Marla again was not my cup of tea, her design shapes would not work for me, but I liked to watch to see what she would bring in.
Similarly on Q. They lost Isaac Mizrahi, which was the only brand I would purchase on the regular, initially. Then they had to cheapen the 24/7 pants and pima cotton shirts. Similarly to Antthony, he knew his customer. Anyway, I buy things mostly on Q just because that is where I started and I like Belle, but I carefully pick and choose due to pricing rising. Maybe a Denim and Co top here or there, but not often. I also like more of their home decor than H, but that is just a personal preference.
Corporate wastes money for on location broadcasts, like Palm Springs (imo). They waste more money teaming up with the likes of Kathy Hilton and Theresa Caputo, and then the “influencers” they work with for their streaming and TikTok services. The method of buying through TV is old news. They were never really prepared for the use of Apps, streaming, or realizing their pricing is out of line in many cases. All stores have a website now, and if you want something unique I bet you can find it somewhere online.

Chapter 11 lets them restructure debt, which the creditors will have to work with if they file.

“That’s what happens when you put a man at the top.”
Shopping channels were founded by men.
And CH 11 is still only a rumor.-
They were far better under Cindy Grossman as far as fashion and jewelry
