The Shop At Home Network was a good TV shopping network that I used to watch before I would watch HSN.
One of the hosts I remember watching on Shop At Home was Lea Little, who is now a guest on HSN. She was not my girlfriend, but I must have been the youngest fan of her. (Lea later went on to host Bella Luce for Jewelry Television after Shop At Home's first closure.)
Shows I was watching on Shop At Home, mostly focusing on Lea, have included Gems Galore where Sayed Haider was Lea's guest, Gold Under $300 where Barry Hochman was Lea's guest, Park Avenue Jewelry where Tony Malvagna was Lea's guest, Bella Luce where either Karen Campbell or Chuck Zerah was Lea's guest, Moissanite, Dynamite Tanzanite, her shows in the jewelry marathons Gem Day, 24-Hour Sparkle Express, Fabulous Finds from Las Vegas, Fresh from 47th Street, and Gold Strike, Accents for the Home, and Electronic Essentials (later renamed Fully Charged).
Other hosts on Shop At Home, before the first closure, included Pat Kirk, Nichole Murphy, Kim Prentiss, Julie Tello, Betty Leigh, Shawn Diddy, Shawn Leflar, Christina Reguli, Elliot Smith, Chuck Long, Robb Parsons, and Matt Martin, with Kim Prentiss originally as Kim Boyd (before she got married) and Kim Church originally as Kim Stamper (before she too was married).
When Shop At Home had a Huge Blow Out Sale, Lea was one of the hosts involved in the sale, especially on May 22 and May 23, 2006. The sale ended on June 1 of that year. The Last Chance Sale lasted from June 9, 2006 until the first closure of Shop At Home on June 21, 2006.
Shop At Home should have had an entirely previously recorded broadcast day on June 22, 2006, before it returned to the airwaves on June 23, 2006 from 10PM to 8AM. Eventually, the 2006 revival of Shop At Home expanded to 24 hours a day (7 days a week) on September 11 of that year.
In January 2008, Tim Engle was one of the people who decided that Shop At Home would close down on March 8, 2008. Shop At Home's 2006 revival featured Flashback February.
March 8, 2008 was when Shop At Home finally ceased to operate, after which Lea joined HSN.
