HSN Is Not Even A Shadow of it's Former-Self
What happened to the variety of programming? It’s all womens clothes, womens jewelry and makeup after they moved to PA. Let’s see some more cooking/kitchen shows, home improvement, tools, etc. And Ty and Adam are now the only male hosts? Why not hire more men? Are they only interested in attracting a female audience?
I haven’t seen a cooking show on HSN in at least 2 weeks.
Their audience is limited, right? They aren’t Walmart or Amazon and their limited audience doesn’t need new clothes every day so give people a variety of products or watch your business decline.

There is for sure a problem fulfilling orders properly. A C Wonder blouse I ordered never arrived and had to reorder. Don’t know what happened to the original order. Also, this is a little thing to some people, but to me its irksome. The clothing they have on hangers to present in the show should be steamed and not wrinkled. This was apparently done when the studios were in St. Pete. Hire a clothing person to spruce up the samples for viewing.

I agree, HSN and QVC have changed so much they’re not even fun to watch anymore. Old lady clothes old lady shoes. There used to be a bunch of fun things to watch. There used to be a huge variety, but now you have maybe three things a day that keeps switching off. I don’t bother watching anymore it’s not any fun it’s no good, in the products are totally boring..

Very generic now.

I don’t understand all the complaining. Some people have changed, but all seems the same ol stuff to me.
-
What I don’t understand is the airing of the same products all week.BORING! Need to make a variety and change it up.

qurate destroyed HSN when they took over from Liberty Interactive. I just read that qurate retail group rebranded there name to (QVC Group) as February 24/ 2025. it seems it more about QVC but not about helping HSN at all. back in 2017 or 2019, qurate kicked joy mangano out of the building, then shut her company down. then a few years ago, joy mangano is back on HSN from her home” not on HSN studios. that tells a lot of what happened which I believe, that joy mangano sude qurate and HSN and I think qurate retail group had to pay out probably in the millions because since they kicked joy out of HSN and made her leave off of HSN , shut her company, qurate retail group had been struggling ever since they lost billions.

I don’t see where Joy sued HSN. There are lawsuits over her company, but she was not a party. HSN had to pay $16m civil penalties over failing to promptly report My Little Steamer defects. My impression is that Joy came back to work after her expensive divorce.

I feel that QVC has changed a lot over the years, too. QVC sells a lot of fashion and shoes, same as HSN. QVC seems to sell a lot of food — expensive food. TV shopping has to adapt.
Frankly, I miss gold jewelry. Big Bold Gold every Wednesday. Oh well.-
My all-time favorite show on HSN that I really miss is the original show “Sunday Fashion Edit” hosted by Callie on Sunday mornings 10am-noon I believe. The show with just Callie not the version of the show when they added Debbie D when she first started.
There was a plus size model named Yaz, she brought the house down lol. Wonder what happened to her?
Those were the days; I spent a small fortune every Sunday morning while watching.
-
My observation is that models with personality get job offers. Yaz probably moved on to bigger and better things.
I can’t remember her name, but there was a model on QVC several years ago that was super cute and funny. One of the other models took a dislike to her and got her fired. That’s another possibility.

Well if they’re “being absorbed by QVC soon” like people on here are suggesting… they must only be there for clothes and jewelry because watching QVC is nothing like the current HSN. Because QVC has In The Kitchen with David/Now You’re Cooking and also Rachael and Alberti do a bunch… there’s several multi-hour kitchen/food/cooking shows every week. It would be nice to watch something similar on HSN
-
Yes, you’re right! There’s always so many cooking, gardening, special events going on on QVC!! On Thursdays Amy and David do Fall Y’all and yesterday was all day Permission to Pumpkin…. just keeps it fun☺️ Would love if HSN did things like these💗

I do agree that a little more variety is a good thing! More brands, home decor items etc…. but I’ll take anything over endless electronics and vacuums😁
