QVC, Home Shopping Network Bow Streaming Platform App on Vizio Smart-TVs
June 1, 2023
QVC and Home Shopping Network (HSN) have launched their free, interactive streaming shopping service on Vizio Smart-TVs — currently the first and only live-stream shopping app on Vizio that allows consumers to complete purchases within the app, while combining multiple channels of live content with video-on-demand.
The streaming app combines QVC and HSN’s five linear broadcast channels — QVC, QVC2, QVC3, HSN and HSN2, offering 50-plus hours a day of live content — with three digital-only linear channels (“In the Kitchen,” “Fashion Finds” and “Outdoor Escape”) and about 200-plus original, streaming-only show episodes, including programs “In the Spirit With Lindsay and Curtis,” with Michelin-starred-chef Curtis Stone and his wife, actress Lindsay Price-Stone, “Design School With Ballard Designs,” and “My Best Friend’s Kitchen With Gaby Dalkin,” with chef and influencer Gaby Dalkin.
“Now, Vizio users can access our live, on-demand and streaming-only content all together in one place,” David Apostolico, SVP of platform strategy, development and distribution, vCommerce Ventures, at Qurate Retail Group, said in a statement.

Chris Tanquary, senior director of business development at Vizio, contends online shopping in the home on the television is the future.
“We believe that shopping is an integral part of our daily lives, and … the addition of the QVC+ and HSN+ shopping app, Vizio users will have seamless access to a world of curated products and shopping experiences in both live and on-demand formats,” Tanquary said in a statement.
