[edit] Untro
bid tv (known as bid-up.tv until 21 January 2005) is a digital television channel based in the UK that runs daily live auctions. It was the first channel of its kind in the world, and has become popular for offering a laid-back, friendly approach to its viewers. Banter is created through the presence of "auction assistants" who help to demonstrate products, as well as informing the viewer of upcoming auctions.
QVC is a West Chester, Pennsylvania, USA, based multinational corporation, specialising in televised home shopping. Founded in 1986 by Joseph Segel, QVC broadcasts in four major countries to 141 million consumers. The name is an initialism—standing for "Quality, Value, Convenience"—ostensibly, the three pillars of Segel's vision for the company.
[edit] Input
eeZee tv launched in March 2005 and broadcasts TV shopping on Sky digital channel 657.
Home shopping specialist Kleeneze is to launch a joint shopping channel with JML [3].
Kleeneze is to invest £4 million over a two year period to launch the new service which will be available on Sky channel 664.
The channel, named Eezee TV, will initially launch with pre-recorded product commercials until March 2005. The channel will then relaunch with 16 hours of live and 8 hours of pre-recorded programming each day, giving a 24 hour service.
Chief Executive of Kleeneze plc, William Rollason, said: "We are very excited about the growth opportunities from eezee TV, which represents a significant step in our development of Kleeneze into a home specialist retailer with an increasing range of products and channels to market."
Managing Director of JML, John Mills said: "We believe the inherent synergies between JML and Kleeneze in terms of product range, customer service and a value for money consumer proposition make this joint venture an extremely exciting and unique product. We very much look forward to making eezee TV a great success."
The channel is hosted by a team of highly experienced presenters and sells a broad range of household and personal products sourced with the combined expertise of both Kleeneze and JML. eeZee tv provides significant cross-selling opportunities for the Group and allows testing of new lines before inclusion in Kleeneze’s catalogues.
eeZee tv is based in a new purpose built studio in Kentish Town, London. The channel is supported by a multifaceted website, created and managed by IWOOT. A video stream from the channel’s broadcast can be viewed online, so those without Sky are still able to make purchases. Customer service is at the top of the agenda, eeZee tv are the first TV home shopping channel to offer guaranteed next day delivery to all UK customers.
