"Despite a challenging economy coupled with some dramatic national and
international events, we have laid a solid foundation for our business," said
Gene McCaffery, chairman and CEO of ValueVision Media. "Our program
distribution continues to grow. We have new programming to entertain our
viewers with an expanded array of merchandise and nationally recognized
brands. Marketing efforts to rebrand our network, which have been augmented
by the launch of a ShopNBC credit card and Holiday Catalog, are going well and
exceeding our expectations in some areas. All of this has positioned us well
for the future."
