I stopped watching HSN because of them. I had been unhappy with their programming for months but the continual barrage of ads was too much. Ads between programs is one thing. But so many ads in a single programming segment is another.

The hurricane warning was cancelled. The eye of the hurricane is now half way between Tallahassee and Jacksonville. There is still a tropical storm warning. Storm surge warning still in effect up to 3-5 feet above ground somewhere within surge prone areas.

I didn’t know that! Thank you!

I am really only interested in product presentation. But for everyone worried about Andrew, Muriel, and Kristin and not able to find it in “HSN Community Discussion”, here’s what Andrew posted in another board –

“This from Andrew and normally I do not post, but thought I should. Muriel is my dear friend and effectively part of my family for many years. We have also worked together for more than 15 years. Neither Muriel nor I ever contemplated marriage, since that was never the nature of our friendship. Kristin has been my girlfriend for quite some time and she makes me extremely happy. Oddly enough, Muriel knew Kristin first, and from the very start they have been friends. Muriel and I continue to work together and remain close friends. Muriel is Kristin’s biggest fan. Perhaps one day I will introduce everyone to Kristin on air. I will now go back to being off the boards. I wish everyone the best of health and the greatest of happiness in their life, friendships and relationships.”

Kristin must be a CA girl then. Maybe that’s why he never skypes from his manufacturing plant anymore. Really disappointed about that. I liked seeing Lincoln romp around the plant. I really don’t care about his personal life. He promotes the plant nearly every presentation and we see the same 6-7 year old video of it. You’d think he’d film from there once in awhile.

Maybe his new love interest is also why there’s still no pet vitamins after all these years.

Think Mr. Lessman is spending more time enjoying his fortune!

More air time for the host that I immediately turn off. Callie appears to be in good shape. Maybe she’ll return to work earlier than anticipated.

I checked M Asam’s products. It appears to me that most of the most popular items are still at full price. I have no idea what the future holds for M Asam with HSN but I tend to think the clearance and sales are about selling older stock so that fresh stock can replace it. Perhaps Marcus will be appearing in HSN studio since it’s been awhile.

I admit it is getting old seeing brand ambassadors in studio instead of owners. Too many brands with brand ambassadors doing the sales pitch. Not the same as brand owner.

I’m not a fan of going out with shiny face regardless of the benefit to my skin so I cover it.

Squalane and various oils make your skin very shiny. If you don’t want shine, and want natural, no makeup look, you can lightly dust with matte bronzer powder, or spray with Perlier hyaluronic black rice micro mist, or lightly pat Skinn Collagenesis PEP40 on your skin which is matte finish and some prai moisture creams are matte.

On my face I dust with bronzer then set with Perlier hyaluronic. On my arms or legs I use Skinn PEP40 over shiny stuff.

I hope so too.

Previously I remember Michelle being on night/late night, then went into prime slot during day, then back to evening/night/late night.

All of the hosts, except Guy Yovan, Tina & Ty seem to be doing more evening/night segments now.

My observation is that since HSN got rid of the 2 Shannon’s other hosts are getting shifted all over the place. One host, a newer hire, seems to picking up more air time, 2 and 3 hour blocks at a time. Not a fan of this host and change channel.

It also seems like HSN is trying to be more like QVC especially in Fashion even though the viewer demographics of each channel are polar opposites.

Because of this my viewing has shifted back to ShopHQ and other channels. HSN is the only Qurate business that I support and that may change in future if their programming continues to push one host, in 2 & 3 hour blocks, at expense of others and doesn’t return to equally distributed normalcy when 2 Shannon’s were working.

Three hours of any host is too much. Even two hours sometimes. I have trouble with Debbie Denmon’s “yall” and over-the-top southern talk. I’m from DFW area, attended colleges all over Texas, graduated from NTSU (Debbie’s alma mater) and attended graduate school at SFASU in Nacogdoches. No one talks that way. It’s a mix because people have moved there from all over this country and from other countries for more than 100 years. Sarah talks too much and cuts guest hosts off. And Lynn’s voice is really hard to listen to for very long especially when she’s hyper. She’s always muted when I watch one if her programs. I want Shannon Smith back. Not on social media so maybe she’ll be on ShopHQ soon.

NO ONE is discussing HSN management protecting their employees’ safety. Of course we want them to protect their employees. There are also OSHA, wage & hour, and other laws requiring them to protect their employees.

The discussion is that HSN’s plan to protect their employees, equipment, and property in these types of events has been established since the last significanr hurricane YEARS AGO.

Given that is true, why NOT then have ACCURATE an accurate statement regarding the “state of their TV programming and other services” running as a banner along the top or bottom of the screen?

Do they think that viewers do not want to know?

Their bar soap is better than anything else on the market available in my opinion. Healthy ingredients. All the brands have some hype.

But specifically what I was talking about was the telecast which was vastly more entertaining than HSN’s routine scheduling of past 3-4 months. A couple of hosts now doing three hour blocks 2 x a week when they only did 3 to 4 hours per week before March.

The host and Beekman guys were all enjoying the broadcast. Valerie wasn’t loud, talk too fast, cackle, or interrupt them. She asked good questions and was intently listening to the answers.

And the goats are cute!

The black retro floral is gorgeous!

Exactly! Thanks for that humor! I really needed it today!
