Home shopping via cable TV expands in Delaware County

Fiona and Harry are early adopters as cable TV home shopping grows nationwide. HSN now reaches about 15 million homes, with Delaware County's 80 000 cable subscribers given access through American Cablevision and Suburban Cable systems. Programs run 24 hours on weekends, with prizes and easy ordering by toll free phone or credit card. Local operators anticipate more networks like QVC, while some worry about oversaturation.

Home shopping concept grows into mega business

The home shopping idea born in 1977 by Lowell Paxson and Roy Speer evolved into a national venture by 1985. HSN posted 160.2 million dollars in net sales from 1985 to 1986 and 103.5 million in the year ending last August. Joseph Segel of QVC plans to bring home shopping to 7 million households in over 40 states by next March, aiming to outpace the Franklin Mint. He holds exclusive Sears merchandise rights for QVC and intends to grow a 250 person work force.
