I can't believe you quit selling Cervelle pull on jeans and capris.They were your most popular line for years.If you wanted to change to different lines of clothing that's fine but it makes absolutely no sense discontinuing the Cervelle line.We your loyal watchers and buyers feel like you don't care that we have been buying Cervelle for yrs and then you suddenly stop.When I went to order more and found out you no longer carry them I stopped watching your program.I now watch QVC and get Demin&Co.

So very thankful HSN has such great products, and customer service department. I have been buying from HSN since the days of Tootie, and have always been very satisfied with the service and the products. Only have had to return a few items in all the many years shopping with HSN. Happy Holidays to all of the employees of HSN.

I used to buy from QVC years ago, only gold jewerly and things for the home. A few coats from Dennis Basso, but when I found HSN, I haven't stopped buying from them. The DG2 jeans and jackets are wonderful,now that she makes size two. I think HSN has a lot more going for them then QVC, HSN offers great flexpays, on almost everything and when you have a sale, it is really a sale. Keep up the great work, I have no problems with the hosts at all. Some of the hosts on OVC makes you want to gag.

I will typically watch any show where I am interested in the product UNLESS the show host is so annoying that I have to change the channel or mute the host. The only ones that impact me in that way are Kelly (who is apparently gone) and the two new guys, Christian and Todd. Christian may want to quit watching himself on the monitor and focus on learning something relevant aspects on jewelry. I hope he will presenting anything but jewelry.

I have been with HSN long enough(over 20 years that I feel I can say I am fed up with your innovative changes.First of alI you eliminated some of the staple low price brands like Cervelle jeans, and replace with too many high end. We have less time with qualified sales personel like Bill Greeen who is the best. You lost Judy, Paul and to my great sadness Kelly, who was incredible. Everybody is jumped around. And the morning group has caused me to cancel watching morning TV.

HSN has lost their minds! The early morning replacement for Kelly, Tamara is TERRIBLE!!! She can barely get two words out without making mistakes. She is totally unnatural on TV. The same goes for Amy! Am I the only one who think that tan looks ridiculous!?! She is so hyper, I can't stand to watch. I at LEAST want to watch someone who MAKES SENSE! John and Lori were my favorite morning duo. They were fresh and had a natural energy, not fake and manufactured like the new team.

I love watching the new morning show with Adam and Amy! You two put a smile on my face and help me start the new day off right with laughter! I really love the way you joke like brother and sister together. Truthfully, this is the best show I've seen so far and I actually look forward to waking up, just to watch you two! Thank you so very much for the great times you've shared with us and I can't wait to watch again tomorrow!

Top of the Morning to Amy and Adam. Congratulations to them. HSN if you had to make a change in the Sunrise morning show, it was a fantastic choice to choose Adam and Amy. You have two talented hosts. Especially Adam. Can you package and sell his smile? I do believe the female host gets more air time because of the female products. I don't think that is fair to the male host. There has to be a way to even out the playing field. Talent like Adams is too valuable to waste. Good Luck!

Great to hear your Yorkshire humour and I laugh out loud at some of your comments. I have noticed how your confidence has grown since coming to HSN. You and Amy make a good team and its always refreshing to have change - makes life interesting!

Once again I have to say people are complaining too much...it's your opinion mind you but it doesn't reflect everbody's idea of what HSN should or shouldn't be...being on TV is a hard job & takes a lot of practice, no one is perfect so give the new people a break, we all had our first day on the job....I have not a problem with their quality of service or programming. Change is hard sometimes & not always welcome.

This is the second blog, I have posted. None have beeen posted, I agree with smiley. I think you are posting the ones you want? We are all entitled to our opinion, as - or + ? Why can't HSN be up front with us consumers? If it was not for the consumers , there would not be no HSN? HSN had better make a change for the + or they will not be at the top of the ladder where they were!

UNBELIEVABLE. I can not believe some of the negative comments about the changes at HSN. As far as the host that are gone, get over it! We don't know the circumstances they left under. They may have moved on to bigger and getter things and are happy. HSN is a business. These people are not your best friend. If you think they are, you need to get out more! Employee turnover in any business is natural and unavoidable. I WELCOME THE CHANGES! If you don't like what you are watching, change channels.

I've been shopping both HSN and QVC. They usually don't carry exactly the same items, though some are very similar. I try to watch, mostly the cooking, cleaning and electronics. While the show hosts and or product spokes people present the merchandise as clearly as they can, giving a demo on LIVE on TV, you have to admit that they do very well to learn as much as they can in as little time as they may have. I applaud them all.

From a Marketing view, you are missing the target in many aspects. Change sometimes can come back and bite you,look at all the major dept stores that have closed their doors after the changes they made. I understand you want sexy, beautiful hosts, but sometimes, experience, sincerity & knowledge are more valuable. Paul Deasy had all those qualities, yet you let him go. You have customers in their 20's, but also in their 30,40,50,60's & beyond. Be careful, you just might be closing your doors.

HSN, I have been a loyal shopper for over 25 years, I am in my 40's and as good looking as these new show host are,they do not have the camera experience and knowledge that Judy or Paul had.I do not believe they left of their own will, since I know they left QVC and uprooted their homes and lives to move from PA to FL. They will be missed. I know you have a new host who is a Gemologist, yet all she can say, is how inexpensive the item is. Bring back Judy & Paul. Good luck to the new show hosts.

I had to make a comment on all the disappointed people that do not like the new changes HSN has made. I think it's just human nature that when people are comfortable with the way things are they don't like to change. I think if you just give it a little time you'll become just as comfortable with the new ways HSN has added. I do agree with some of the other customers that HSN does need to improve the quality of a lot of the products without making them so high priced.

Good luck to Amy and Adam. Did it ever occur to some of you that some of the hosts left of their own free will? I know Kelly's contract wasn't renewed but maybe Judy and Paul left on their own. I do agree that HSN needs to buckle down on the quality. I am seeing more and more items with poor customer reviews. And for every 1 person that has no problem spending $500.00 on a handbag, there are 10 more that won't.

I am so excited for a fresh new morning show at HSN. I love that Amy and Adam are so much fun to watch. Together they will be amazing! I love all of the new products and brands that HSN has been offering. As a well educated, hard working 30-something, I thought some of the older products were out dated and sometimes even low in quality. Everything I have ordered lately has been amazing. Thanks HSN for keeping up with the times and the trends. Good Luck!!

I think Adam and Amy will do well, they have a natural charm and I enjoyed watching them on other shows. I don't like the changes at HSN either and miss Kelly (a great host), Judy and British. I loved John in anything and you have relegated him to doing coins only, bad idea! The clothing shows are few and far between and even though Lukastyle with Wayne Scott was a bit boisterous, the line was excellent and well made and looked good on anyone; now its gone. I shop on line but don't watch at all

Coire, IN 06/01/2008
I wholeheartedly agree w/the deluge of comments criticizing HSN for adding high end designer lines while discontinuing the staples (MS, Cervelle) that many of us came to love over the years. Why can't new lines be added in addition to the older lines & not at the expense of those lines making all happy?! Good luck to the new morning crew. With all the never ending changes to this AM line-up you will need it.

HSN is a well ran BUSINESS it is not a DEMOCRACY and you are owed NO explanation for change. So GET OVER IT!!!!! For every old prude HSN loses, I'm quite sure they will gain 3 young and stylish 20-30 y/o. So GOOD LUCK NEWBIES!!!!!

Love Amy. Saw newer hosts, a few times. RAW! All the publicity they should be more polished. H offers fashionable fashions & access. items. Don't miss MS, Cervelle, Taylor... one bit. Love exclusives! Shows reaching out to levels of consumers w/diff. economics, age & lifestyles. Some in our 20s & 30s have no problems ord. $500.+ handbags, shoes, jewelry... from our TVs. H offers some very nice merchandise, great sales but the constant changes doesn't look good but I'm still a huge fan of HSN!

I am in agreement with alot of the other comments. Why has HSN changed its direction? Most of us at home are REAL people size 16 not 2 and we do not have budgets to waste money on some of these new clothes lines. Amy and Adam seem very nice, but Toddd appears insincere to me. Why so may new hosts at this time? Please bring back Kelly R & Paul & Judy!!

Well I think we know how the majority of HSN customers feel about the hosts. I would also like to see more of a variety of hosting. The average size is a 14 and the age of most HSN customers are older and able to stay at home. Hosts should represent us, the customers. I am wondering who is doing the marketing and where are they getting their information to make decisions about hosting?

JRO-Sad very sad your format has become disappointing and uninteresting. You had some really GREAT hosts who have vanished without so much as a good luck to them. Finally found Allison Wagoner- she's at shopNBC. She was so genuine made you feel she was a great friend. Can't believe you decided to change so much. Kelly Paul Judy Rich were indiviuals who made you want to watch. This longtime customer will NOT be ordering much anymore. Yes!!!! bring in more products made in USA!!!!!!

I shopped QVC for many years, but turned to HSN recently because of high shipping charges at QVC. Finding petite, large sizes can be difficult, but DG Jeans, Slinky Brand and Carolyn Strauss work for me. I wish there were more clothing shows. I have been waiting for more Carolyn Strauss. I am 64 and love to dress, but I am no fashion model. I agree with some of the other comments regarding style and size. I love your current hosts, but reserve judment re new hosts. Change is always difficult.

I started with HSN and prefer over the other shopping channels. I pesonally never cared for Paul and Judy. Actually, I started watching QVC because Judy wasn't there. Anyway, HSN has clothes that are more in style. They are suppose to add more makeup lines such as Models Prefer, although I do miss Mirrenese. I think their customer service is far superior, although the other is good. At least HSN sticks to a 30 day unconditional. QVC is quick to penalize you for returns/cancelations.

I really don't care who the hosts what on HSN. While I do most of my shopping with QVC(great customer service!!!!) Diane Gilman is the only vendor who makes size 2 jeans/pants for which I thank her. so long as there is Diane Gilman, I will shop with HSN. Just remember that as a consumer you should buy a product because you know it, like it etc., and Not because you like the person showcasing it!!! that will get you in big trouble financially!!!

Host have disappeared, ones we love have just vanished with no explaination. New ones are fine and welcome, but your major buyers are your more mature audience. rs. Adam and Amy are precious, but with ALL the changes it seems that all HSN is interested in doing as of late is hiring younger host and lessoning quality. Wake up before you loose your audience to the other retail channel.

I agree with 90 percent of the others, that you have gotten rid of the best host and hostesses you will ever have. We have all grown to loves these people.

What's with you people and the caps lock??? That is more rude and IS CONSIDERED YELLING. I'm a mid-fifties gurl and have no problem with the new styles. A lot of them are very retro from the 60s and very cute. I don't need to see only fat old lady clothes, then I would go somewhere else. Love the cosmetics, skin care lines, fitness products and don't really buy because of a host. I buy the product. I hope they do keep up the forward trend. By the way, IBB is Italian Bath & Body.

I think host change is good sometimes. You just need to train the new ones better before they actually get put in front of the camera alone. Too much change at one time shows that tere is major problems behind closed doors. You are letting the public watch you air your problems. It should have been done gradually. You have lost some very great vendors and I am sure that they will be picked up by another show, in time. From the blogs, I can tell you have upset alot of customers.

HSN it is time to wake up and smell the roses. Your more mature customers are the ones that stay tuned and buy the most hours out of the day/night. We appreciate a more mature look in clothes than what I have been seeing lately. Also, your prices have gone sky high with all the new changes. With the prices of gasoline and groceries going up so high, the staple group of customers are not going to purchase the non-essential items,no matter which host is on air.

I think the changes to HSN are great, so much more hip and relevant with a greater variety of fashion. I've seen HSN working with network TV outlets (Extra for one) and I feel so proud bc I am an HSN customer back to the days of Tootie. I have found the c/s dept to be really responsive now, and they sure did need a makeover. (HSN's c/s was the worst.) I'll give all the new hosts a chance bc all I want from them is COMPLETE details on the products, front/back/side/under/gram weight. Good Luck!!

As far as the show hosts that left or where fired, it's not really anybody business, maybe they moved on to bigger & better things, Rich, Kelly & Judy & Paul weren't on TV much when I use to look at their schedules, so what's to miss....get over it ya all & move on, their are more important things to be happy about, like being alive

I do not like the so called new HSN, If SSC leaves then so will a lot of your customers,and also if IBB left I think there would be no more HSN. Someone needs to wake up and smell the coffee!!!!!!!change can be a good thing but not in HSN's case. I would sit and watch you on a daily base and order at least once a week but now I only watch when SSC or IBB is on and then only order if I am out of what I use daily or if it truly is a special.

I also am very disappointed in the New and Improved? HSN. I miss Maggie Sweet and Cervelle. The prices and styles are way out there, now. I haven't bought a stitch of clothing since Daniel left. The changes were definitely not good for HSN. I barely watch anymore. Lucky they still have Elaria and Perlier or I wouldn't be watching at all.

What happened to storybook knits and Maggie Sweet? Storybook use to be on at least twice a month. The shows are all the same and ther is no variety. I am now watching and buying from QVC. The only purchases I make on HSN are storybook knits (whenever Jamie is on and Adrienne watches and makeup. Why don't you have operators answering the phones instead of a recording? When I call QVC I always get a person. Hope you will improve soon.Reading the blogs I am not the only one!

I always gave positive feedback to HSN until this week. What's up with all of the changes? They don't seem to be working. Quality is down, prices are up, service is questionable, and quality control is less than expected. Many of the new hosts are giving incorrect information and seem lost. Where are our favorite brands and hosts? Hope someone there is listening and monitoring if sales are actually up or if you are losing loyal customers!

Good luck to both of you. I hope you don't have to read all of these messages! Just don't age, and you'll be OK. Apparantly, HSN likes to periodically cull the older, more experienced hosts and replace them with younger people to whom they probably pay less money. Just like the rest of the business world.( If HSN doesn't bring back Maggie Sweet on a regular basis, this petite 2x woman will take her salary to the malls again!)

I am guessing that this blog will not last long. Loyal customers wanted an outlet to vent about recent changes and here we go. There has been a lot of change and very little of it has been good. I have been a Q customer for years and started to buy from HSN because of Wayne Scot Lukas and Terry Lewis. When the show hosts began their recent, rapid departure and Lukastyle was dropped abruptly HSN lost me as a regular customer.

I hope that someone at HSN who actually cares about their customers will read these blogs and take some action. If you are going to give your customers an outlet to express their opinions, please take the time to listen to them and respond. It looks to me as though you may be loosing some of your customers to other retailers. What are you thinking and who is making these decisions? Looks like everyone there needs to be concerned about job security. No loyal customers, no business!

I have to agree with many other viewers. I miss the previous hosts (Kelly, Rich, John, Judy, Paul). Many of the new hosts seem tongue tied and very pushy, not sincere. For the first time in 20 years I am changing the channel due to your new hosts. I guess my husband is happy I am purchasing much less from HSN. Please check quality of products first, customer service, and prices. Please bring back previous hosts. Rich talked me into many NFL items for my 3 sons.

GOOD LUCK TO THE NEW GROUP, YOU'LL NEED IT!!

I AM A RELATIVELY NEW VIEWER, HOWEVER, I DID START OUT WATCHING HSN FIRST. I NOW TEND TO SEE WHAT IS ON QVC, THEN CHECK OUT HSN IF NOTHING CATCHES MY EYE. AMY IS VERY NICE AND I WISH HER LUCK. THE REST ARE TOO NEW TO EVEN TELL THEM APART!! ALSO WHERE DID KELLY R. GO, AGAIN, SHE WAS WONDERFUL!VERY REPRESENTATIVE OF REGULAR WOMEN AND SOME OF US ARE OVER 40 AND MORE THAN SIZE 4-12. YOU MIGHT KEEP THAT IN MIND!

I will totally miss kelly repassey,she was a plus size, and also, you need plus size models. You are missing the boat on you designers, Most or many of us, cannot afford clothes so expensive. I have written you before concering, cervelle, bring it back, they had affordable clothing,and everyday clothing,no one else does on HSN...QVC had Denim & Co. they are a lil high, compaired to cervelle,i loved cervelle clothes, I would say,most of the ppl watching are older.I like m.sweet,but not peachskin

why did hsn change all the am show hosts???? where is kelly the best show host hsn had and where is john cremmons and the rest of the morning regulars. I feel like I'm in a bad valley girl movie watching candace. Change is good however you guys should have mixed your tried and true with the new not all the new at one time.

I like that HSN is trendy and not afraid to market to a wide range of age groups. I am 23 and in response to the comment that 20 year olds don't have any money, I make plenty. Probably more than most 50 year olds and I will be a customer for many, many years to come.

I do see the addition of lots of young new hosts,but please don't throw out the older and seasoned hosts with the bathwater! I wish the new morning show the best!

The previous hosts had built up a rapport with viewers and their opinions were trusted. Your audience has to reach the Boomers and seniors who make up a big portion of our population. I think someone miscalculated who spends money at HSN.

HSN has just lost me, due to all the continued out-of-hand changes they make from completely poofing the entire forums, (yet a second time without notice), to show hosts just poofing off the planet without a word. Amy and Adam ... Good Luck!

I haven't been watching HSN for years, but I agree that if hosts leave, audience should be told why they leave. I love Adam; he is just the cutest and funny! I think he's adjusting to the 'American way' of TV shopping because in the UK, it is very different. Good luck to Adam! As for different shows, I would like to see more jewelry. I'm not a QVC person and their stuff are expensive. I am not going to buy electronics from HSN because I know I can always get better deals online elsewhere.

What's up HSN? If you are trying to find yourself, back up and correct the mistakes you have made lately. Bringing in younger hosts don't go well with your baby boomer customers. Your clothing line should address all ages and not just skinny models and older women still dressing like teenagers. Some of us don't want to flaunt our bosoms with all those low cut clothing lines. You have gotten rid ofvendors that addressed us baby boomers. Nothing against Amy, but don't forget the older hosts.

I also e-mailed HSN customer service and asked what happened to Kelly Repassey and Rich Hollenburg. My answer was that they will be missed, but did not disclose their whereabouts. I think HSN should let their customers know something. They were two of their best show hosts. Rich will never be replaced especially when it comes to their NFL airings. As for Amy and Adam, I'm sure they will do well on their new today show.

The top three products that ARE HSN'S foundation (IBB, SSC &Technibond)are getting less and less air time. Not all of your customers are 20 & 30 something's. If IBB decides to move to another network I would not blame them. The respect that they deserve is lacking. The same goes for SSC and TB. I realize that you want to attract a younger audience but don't leave the true fans behind. WE put you where you are today along with IBB.SSC, and TB.

I agree with 90 per cent of the comments Kelly R was the best HSN ever had or will ever again why dont you tell your customers what happened to all the regulars. Amy and Adam will never take Lori and Johns place. Sick of all the jewerly shows and Joy M and Tony Little are over bearing. Susann R cant stand talks to fast and acts like a overgrowen child. I also noticed when customers call in you cut them off how rude. QVC will never have to worry with HSN is awful.

These comments are hilarious to read!!! OMG!!! I have watched the show for years and years-since Connie Stevens was on it and Adrian Arpel went by her name!! Billy Mays and Anthony Sullivan were on it....I could go on and on....the host that died I remember and the lady that sold the dolls in the wee hours of the morning. Judy Kroll left QVC to be with her husband I assume.....well, I could still go on and on, but this re-living the past is fun!

I agree that programming on HSN is a bit stagnant. I believe most people can only use so many hangers or so much cookware. I am disappointed that former hosts left without the audience being told of their departures or whereabouts. I think some of the new designers are questionable, I'm not sure of HSN's niche market anymore. I'm really at a loss as to what HSN is attempting to do, are you marketing to a younger audience? A higher end audience? Right now I'm not happy w/HSN...

KSL from KS - I actually e-mailed customer service to find out where all the experienced hosts were. Was told they couldn't respond by e-mail, but was told to write to HSN Show Host Correspondence. I did this on April 2, 2008, and my letter has been ignored. Since then Judy Crowell, Rich, Lori, and who knows who else have disappeared. So much for your customer service and satisfaction.

For being a relatively new host, I must say Amy is doing a fantastic job. Haven't viewed Adam much. I agree with the others, when hosts are leaving, viewers should be given some type of notice. The other shopping network does. The best thing that ever happened to HSN was Kelly R. I watched her shows whenever possible. Viewers tend to watch their favorites and when they are no longer on the air with no explanation for their departure, it leaves one with questions?????

HSN might be the longest running tv shopping network, but I predict it's demise unless the producers listen to what customers are looking for. The appeal is gone. With the exception of some tried and true, the products are an insult to the hosts trying to represent them. The sets lack style. There is no athmosphere. The hosts often appear to be bored. What happened?

I second the motion of having an all day airing of USA Made products(or at least an hour or two of it).

Adam is a delight to watch, but I'll miss him on the late night jewelry shows. What HSN really needs to do, though, is add more variety to their products and stop showing the same old products over and over (dare I mention hangers, tanning products, Tony L., cameras?). Spending a half hour on one product is where you often lose people to the PA station. It also wouldn't hurt to show the clasps and the undersides on the jewelry presentations.
