In another Qurate Retail Group streaming initiative, HSN has debuted on Sling Freestream, a free ad-supported service offered by Sling TV.
HSN, with the move, joins its Qurate Retail sibling QVC as the only two live shopping channels on the streaming platform. The launch reflects HSN’s continued strategic expansion of its v-commerce operations through partnerships and collaborations with new media and digital platforms, the retailer noted. HSN engages customers across the United States via two linear channels, a website and mobile app as well as the shoppable streaming service HSN+, and social pages. The linear channels are available today on cable/satellite TV and free over-the-air TV as well as digital livestreaming TV.
Top destination programs offered by HSN have included “Gotta See G by Giuliana Rancic” and “The List with Debbie D.”
“HSN offers a fun and engaging livestream video shopping experience to Sling Freestream, an entertaining new FAST service created by one of the leaders in streaming TV,” said David Apostolico, senior vp, streaming experience and distribution, v-commerce ventures at Qurate Retail. “We look forward to welcoming new customers to HSN via Sling Freestream while providing our existing customers with yet another convenient way to access their favorite HSN personalities, products and programming.”
