QVC and HSN Launch Livestream Video Shopping Experiences on Amazon Freevee

vCommerce leader Qurate Retail Group expands reach launching QVC and HSN linear channels and The Big Dish FAST channel on Amazon Freevee

Qurate Retail Group, a world leader in video commerce (“vCommerce”), which includes video-driven shopping across linear TV, ecommerce sites, digital streaming and social platforms,  announced the launch of QVC and HSN linear channels on Amazon Freevee. QVC and HSN are the first and only livestream shopping channels on the service. In addition to QVC and HSN, Qurate Retail Group will be launching The Big Dish, its first FAST Channel. QVC and HSN are part of Qurate Retail, Inc.

QVC and HSN will offer Freevee customers approximately 40 hours a day of live vCommerce programming across both channels, featuring premier brands and fresh new products presented by celebrities, influencers and other interesting personalities. This includes popular shows such as QVC’s “In the Kitchen with David” and HSN’s “Gotta See G by Giuliana Rancic.”

Additionally, Qurate Retail Group is bringing its first FAST channel, The Big Dish, to Freevee. The Big Dish currently features a fun mix of pre-recorded culinary programming from QVC and QVC2. This summer, The Big Dish will expand to also feature HSN culinary content and original culinary shows from the QVC+ and HSN+ streaming app. While QVC’s and HSN’s linear channels already exist on multiple FAST services, The Big Dish is Qurate Retail’s first foray into an ad-supported channel with a narrow focus on a specific interest area, which is the most popular channel format on FAST.
