Do vendors pay more money to get teamed with preferred hosts? I always picture food vendors doing anything possible to get paired up with Sharon on QVC and if they get somebody else, they're all like "Oh, man...this ain't what I wanted" (especially if it's a guy) Is it based on seniority of product or what? If I had a food product, do I get Sharon right away or do I get a QVC studio janitor as my "host" and have to work my way up? |

i wouldnt think they would have to pay to get who they want to work with.i would think they are simply asked who would you like to work with and they choose. |

Honestly I doubt a vendor gets to pick who they want to work with at any of the channels. The schedule is made in advance. There's probably exceptions if it's a well-known guest like say Joan Rivers, or if they are personal friends. For example Lisa R. always got a evening show with good friend Leslie from Bare Essentials, but then again Leslie did shows throughout the day with other hosts too. I doubt most vendors have enough pull to demand they work with a certain host. JMO. |

One pairing that I had noticed was when Suzanne Somers first went to ShopNBC, she was frequently paired with Kimberly Wells. I figured it was because how they were both familiar with each other in the HSN days, but it seemed like they worked together for almost a year before Suzanne started appearing with other hosts. I suppose any personal friendships would have an effect on some scheduling, such as MBR hosting at least once during every Nolan Miller visit. Then again, maybe the suits forced Patti Reilly to do all those fruity Kirk's Folly shows. I guess it's a case by case basis with some more obvious than others. |
