HSN Completes Move to QVC Studio Park in West Chester

WEST CHESTER, PA — HSN has officially moved its broadcasting operations from its Florida studios to the QVC Group’s West Chester, PA campus as of June 30. This comes as part of a consolidation effort that has led to the sale of HSN’s 65-acre St. Petersburg site and the elimination of over 700 jobs. Eleven of the network’s 21 on-air hosts have relocated; others have departed.

Caln Community Gathers at Chester County’s Longest Picnic Table

Organized by the township’s Historical Society, the event featured barbecue, a performance by Sweet Freedom Rocks, and a reading of the Declaration of Independence. More than just a festive summer afternoon, the gathering served as a fundraiser for the Friends of the Spackman-Davis Farm, a group dedicated to preserving the historic site. The farm, one of the township’s oldest, remains a focal point of local heritage efforts.
