Alright, let’s talk about this… uh… owner QVC thing. I ain’t no fancy writer, so I’ll just tell ya like it is.
So, this QVC, it’s a big deal, ya know? Like, they sell stuff on TV. My neighbor, Martha, she’s always watchin’ it. Buys all sorts of things, that woman. Anyway, this QVC, it started way back in 1986, by some fella named Joseph Segel. He wanted to make shoppin’ easy, right from your couch. Smart man, I guess. He called it QVC, stands for somethin’ like Quality, Value, and… Convenience, that’s it. Makes sense, right?
Now, there’s this lady, Lori Greiner, they call her the “Queen of QVC.” She’s a big shot on another show too, somethin’ with sharks. Real go-getter, that one. Started with some kinda jewelry holder thing, and now she’s got millions! Good for her, I say. She’s part of the whole QVC story, makin’ it even bigger.
- Started in 1986 by Joseph Segel.
- Lori Greiner, “Queen of QVC”, made it big there.
- They sell all sorts of things on TV.
Joseph Segel, he was one of them fellas who just knew what folks wanted. He thought, “Hey, we can do this better,” and bam! He started QVC. First show was in November, back in ‘86. Can you believe it? Been goin’ strong ever since. Now, it’s not just on TV anymore, it’s like…everywhere. They got this… Qurate Retail Group, that owns QVC and somethin’ else called HSN. They’re even doing live shoppin’ on the internet now. Martha tried it once, but she didn’t like it much. Said it wasn’t the same as watchin’ it on the telly.
They even had a real store once, like a regular shop you could walk into. It was just to try things out, see if people liked it. Guess they decided stickin’ to the TV was better. Can’t say I blame ‘em. It’s easier sittin’ on your behind, watchin’ folks sell stuff.
QVC is a big deal, that’s what I’m sayin’. It ain’t just some little TV show anymore. It’s this whole big empire, sellin’ stuff all over the place. And it all started with that fella, Joseph Segel, and his idea to make shoppin’ easier. Now, you got Lori Greiner makin’ a name for herself there, and they’re even doin’ this live shoppin’ thing on the internet.

I tell ya, it’s somethin’ else. Makes you think, doesn’t it? Just goes to show ya, if you got a good idea and work hard, you can make somethin’ of yourself. Just like that Lori lady. And that Joseph fella, too.
Anyway, that’s what I know about this owner QVC thing. It’s a big company, sellin’ all sorts of stuff, started a long time ago. And it’s still goin’ strong. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I gotta go check on my biscuits.
