Look who’s leaving HSN…..😱
The Home Shopping Network is saying goodbye to many longtime staples.
As the network prepares to move from its current headquarters of nearly 50 years in St. Petersburg, FL, and relocate to sister network QVC’s location in West Chester, PA, nine of HSN’s television hosts will depart.
“Over the coming months, we will be saying farewell to Natasha Lloyd, Helen Keaney, Amy Morrison, Lynn Murphy, Marlo Smith, Valerie Stup, Rebecca Vargas, Michelle Yarn, and Guy Yovan,” HSN shared in a May 9 Facebook post, before adding, “At the end of the year, we will celebrate Bobbi Ray Carter’s retirement after 42 years!”
But amid the slew of departures, the network confirmed that many familiar faces will remain as they make the move to Pennsylvania.
“As we gear up to go live at our new studios in West Chester, PA, we’re thrilled to announce that Sarah Anderson, Debbie Denmon, Adam Freeman, Nicole Hickl, Tamara Hooks, Tina Jennings, Emily Lampa, Ty Mayberry, Callie Northagen, Suzanne Runyan, and Siaoming Wong will continue to be part of our HSN family,” the post continued, “maintaining the cherished connections we have with our customers.”

Amy would be a great representative of any company. I only watched HSN because of her.
-
YES she would!! One said Lancome would be perfect and I agree!!
-
I also could imagine her working with her close friend Chelsea Scott with the Beauty Spy🤷♀️💞

Hi @bkuegrass14!
We recommend following Amy and the other hosts on social media to learn more about their future plans.
-
Can’t wait!😊
-
-
Pretty sure Quarate is a sinking ship. Soon they’ll be like ShopHQ- they’re gone completely.
-
Such a sad situation for HSN. Amy Morrison , Valerie, Helen and Guy give the HSN program such class and professionalism. I bought most of my purchases thru them! Amy was my favorite, she dressed beautifully and was informative and fun to watch! I My best wishes to this wonderful team who made on line shopping a great experience.
-
Yes I will definitely miss Amy and Guy the most!! Wednesday nights won’t be the same without the Beauty Report with Amy!!😢

I am so sad to hear about some of the hosts that will not be going to PA. I wonder how many QVC hosts will be let go to make room for these folks. I find that QVC has just a few almost continual hosts that I find annoying. And I find QVC clothing over priced and not really young looking. So I will also be watching to make sure that many of our HSN brands will be transitioning to PA too. It is a very delicate dance when you merge 2 separate entities like this. Very easy to lose viewership and for sure QVC does not need to lose any viewership.
-
They will still be separate so QVC will still have their hosts and vendors and HSN will have their’s…. will be 2 networks just in the same buildings!

Well, next week, Tuesday, May 20th, Connie Craig Carroll, said her show at 4:00 PM will be coming from one of the new HSN studios in Studio Park, West Chester, PA. She is flying up to PA. The guide says that Lynn Murphy will be the host. So, I guess Lynn will fly up to PA too even though she is not making the permanent move.
-
Lynn will probably work for Connie in some capacity. I see several hosts being representatives for beauty products like Heathers Hall is for Beekman.
-
I agree, I think so too!! 😊
-
-
I am so sad to hear some of my favorite people won’t be staying at HSN. Guy, Michelle, Helen…it won’t be the same. Especially craft day!The rapport between the guests and these hosts has always brightened my day. Beth and Guy! So funny. One of the reasons I watch. Helen’s sense of humor as well. You will all be very missed! I hope the craft days will continue, but they sure won’t be the same.
Please keep the negative comments to yourself!-
Yes I will really miss Guy and Michelle!! 😢 My kid likes watching Guy also so he wishes he was going!
-

A little birdie mentioned the shutter date (the date HSN stops broadcasting from FL) is 11:59 pm (EDT) June 25th.
-
That date is correct if you check the program guide.
-
Yeah and Sarah said she is moving June 1st but I still see her on the schedule after the 1st off and on, so I wonder if they’ll start doing it from Pennsylvania also while still doing shows from Tampa!?
-
-
I’m glad Keaney isn’t going & I wish Runyan wasn’t going she is annoying like Keaney. Will miss Rebecca & Lynn and Guy. Glad that Calli and Sarah Anderson are going to PA love both of them but will miss Michelle Yarn she is excellent. I wish Nicole Hickl wasn’t going I can’t watch her she is another big mouth who is loud and accomplishes nothing too bad so many awful hosts are going to PA. & so many good ones are leaving.
-
I don’t have facebook so thank you for this update. Does anyone know when HSN will be moving? On a different note, I think Guy’s voice and Lynn’s are shot. Everyone is getting older. I thought Michelle is the best host they have but she isn’t making the move.
-
I will really miss Guy. I thought he might make the move since his son, Danny, is out of the house now but in his previous career, he was in the restaurant business. May be he will do something like that in the Clearwater/St. Pete area. Or just enjoy retirement in the lovely sunshine! I am surprised Lynn Murphy isn’t going since she was originally from PA. Wishing all the HSN and QVC hosts and staff well during these changes and the layoffs. I do hope that the two brands and their individual products lines remain because there is definitely a difference between HSN and QVC. But that is unlikely in the long run.
-
I am not thrilled with most of the hosts coming to PA. I do like Callie and I am glad she will continue. I will miss Guy and Marlo and some of the others staying in FL. It feels like we are saying good-bye to old friends. I recognize they are hosts doing their jobs and not friends, but they have come into our homes for years. I will miss seeing them, but life goes on, I guess. I wish all them well and hope that HSN will continue.
-
Yeah we haven’t seen Marlo in almost a year so I knew most likely she wouldn’t be going😢 And I will really miss Guy too!! I agree with you that it does feel like old friends are leaving!
-
-
Is this going to be called QVC/HSN? They will probably eventually get rid of HSN.
They got rid of Zulilly.
-
Is Colleen staying?
-
She said she’s not moving but will still do presentations a couple of times a month! 😊 so she’ll travel back and forth!
-
-
I imagine most of the women who want to work could get jobs as reps. Amy will probably be a representative for Lancome.
I can see Michelle and Valerie as beauty reps.
Helen and Guy are my favs so I probably won’t watch much any more.
I don’t see this as a positive move. It will probably be the demise of HSN. ..sadly!
I wish the best to all who are moving. Change can be exciting.-
I never even considered the idea of Amy joining the Lancome team but after reading your comment and watching her doing the Lancome show right now, I can definitely see that 100%! Maybe they will consider something like that…. I could see them snatching Amy up! That seems like it would be the perfect fit for her!😊💞
-
Amy staying behind didnt surprise me at all, she has her teen son to think about and her parents are near her in FL. Also she and her hubby custom built their dream home in FL just a year ago ,I would never expect her to give that up just yet.
Colleen will remain as a vendor either by remote or in person
I think some of the hosts staying in FL will get jobs at local TV stations. Helen will devote more time to her stand up comedy act. -
Agree!! I will really miss Amy but I couldn’t imagine her leaving FL either…. she’s putting family 1st☺️ I wish her all the best!!
-
-
I prefer to think of it as HSN is leaving and some people are staying behind. I’m guessing they didn’t want to uproot their families.
-
I’m not in the know as much on these boards, so what about Colleen? Is she a vendor now or did she quit?
