It’s the end of a shopping era at HSN.
On Wednesday, June 26, the shopping network filmed their final live broadcast in Florida before moving their studios to Pennsylvania.
“The final Florida farewell. The last broadcast from the studios where it all began 48 years ago,” program host Rebecca Vargas shared via Instagram with a clip from the emotional TV event. “This moment was SPECIAL. I am humbled to have been given the responsibility & privilege of wrapping up an era alongside the people who have dedicated decades to this network!”
As part of the farewell, Vargas invited crew members and HSN employees to wave goodbye as a new chapter for the network begins.

“I want to honor all of them,” Vargas shared while holding back tears. “I’m so glad you get to see them, and I want them to all come out because it has been just the most incredible 48 years. Look at this! I love you all so much.”
Back in January, HSN announced its headquarters would be leaving St. Petersburg, Florida. Many hosts and staffers would be able to relocate with sister network QVC to West Chester, Pennsylvania, which is home to their parent company, Qurate Retail.
At the time, Qurate explained that the consolidation is part of a shift to focus on “live social shopping” under the rebrand of QVC Group. HSN and QVC will still operate as separate brands.

“There’s nothing like this family,” Vargas wrote via Instagram after the show. “You can’t repeat the magic that I got the great honor of soaking in & being a part of for the shortest but sweetest season Forever grateful.”
HSN fashion designer Giuliana Rancic watched the emotional clip and couldn’t help but share her fond memories of selling clothes and home goods from the Florida studios.
“Feeling all the emotions right now watching this ,” she commented. “Love my HSN St Pete family forever. I will always have the most beautiful memories of my time in St Pete where my dreams came true with the support of all of my beautiful, kind and loving family there. It’s not goodbye but see you soon .”
