What post is mean spirited? I agree with the OP. If you aren’t reading the financial state of HSN on QVC, you should. HSN has been in deep trouble for at least several years.
OP, you are probably right about moving Marla, DG 2, and a few other vendors. I don’t think QVC and HSN will merge. That would spell disaster for the Q. Can HSN alone declare bankruptcy?
I do see QVC having free shipping more often. I bought several items that I would not have purchased otherwise. Way to go Q, you are catching on. It’s called marketing.

Thanks, ennui. What has happened to HSN?
I will be sure to only order what I intend to keep.

You are right. They built the perception that QVC had better merchandise. They brought in a lot of vendors from NY like Dennis Basso, Laura Geller, etc. Then they used Lisa Robertson to be an It girl. She started using the term Ladies’ Who Lunch(in NYC). I really liked Lisa when I first started watching the Q.
When she started changed, I did too. That’s when I started watching HSN more. They
seemed to cater to the average person and they had better prices. Mindy Grossman did her best to save HSN. After she left, HSN has gone downhill. It is sad for those who remember the good old days.

I don’t like QVC either. I will watch Pat and sometimes Rick but I rarely order.

I so agree. HSN is a disaster. Do you think they are trying to get rid of merchandise or these are their best sellers….over and over It might be because the quarter is ending but I noticed they have scheduled all their seasoned hosts for this weekend.

It all boils down to how well we like a host’s personality. Lesley, Sarah T, and Brynne are my favorites. Years from now, I bet they will still be my favorites.
