It sounds like a court battle is planned in the QVC bankruptcy, in which "vulture investors" that allegedly bought stakes in QVC when it was already financially distressed will put on evidence towards trying to propose a different plan for QVC to exit bankruptcy under which they are paid more than the smooth sail out of bankruptcy the company lawyers would prefer. This kind of contentious litigation will likely be concerning to QVC suppliers, insurers and other interested parties - at a minimum because it is costly and preparation for hearings such as the upcoming distracts bankrupt companies' management. Maybe that is why the planning hearing is so vague as to what is going on, avoiding references to QVC or the Home Shopping Network? I don't know. This hearing seemed exceptionally vague. And I thought I heard a reference to an objection deadline of tomorrow but I am not sure. I think things may be possibly be moving too quickly for there to be time for parties to come forward and be heard in the case.

International Women's Month SeriesBefore the titles, before the boardrooms — there was a belief that shaped everything. Mindy Grossman, Partner & Vice-Chair at Consello, was raised with a simple idea: you've been given a gift — now give it forward.That belief became the throughline of a career that took her from Nike, Inc. to Ralph Lauren Corporation to CEO roles at HSN, Inc. and WW International — transforming brands, industries and expectations along the way.But what defines her most isn't the scale — it's the clarity.The courage to walk away when values don't align.The discipline to say no as much as yes.And the conviction that not taking the risk can be the biggest risk of all.Her mantra: Passion.

It's official, QVC has filed for bankruptcy.  On this episode a full explanation of what bankruptcy means for now, and for the future of QVC and HSN.  Plus, remembering Paul Kelley.  

This Day in Legal History: Bay of PigsApril 17 has marked several important moments in legal history, particularly in the development of constitutional law, civil rights, and international justice. One notable event occurred in 1961, when the Bay of Pigs Invasion began, raising serious legal debates about executive war powers in the United States. Although primarily a military operation, it prompted scrutiny over presidential authority to engage in covert foreign interventions without explicit congressional approval. The failed invasion quickly became a focal point for constitutional scholars questioning the limits of executive power. At the time, the U.S. Constitution granted Congress the authority to declare war, yet presidents increasingly relied on covert or limited military actions without formal declarations. This tension highlighted a growing gap between constitutional text and modern geopolitical practice.Legal analysts began to examine whether such actions fell within the president's role as Commander in Chief or exceeded constitutional boundaries. The episode also contributed to broader concerns about secrecy and accountability within the executive branch. In the years that followed, these concerns helped shape legislative responses aimed at reasserting congressional authority. Most notably, Congress passed the War Powers Resolution to limit unilateral military engagements by the president. The law requires the president to notify Congress within 48 hours of deploying armed forces and limits the duration of such deployments without approval. While debated and sometimes contested, it reflects an ongoing effort to balance executive flexibility with legislative oversight.The legal legacy of April 17, 1961, therefore lies not only in the event itself but in the constitutional questions it intensified. These debates continue to influence how courts, lawmakers, and scholars interpret the separation of powers in matters of war and foreign policy.The head of the U.S. Department of Labor's Employee Benefits Security Administration, Daniel Aronowitz, faced extended questioning from House Democrats during an oversight hearing focused on both agency policy and leadership conduct. Lawmakers pressed him about allegations involving Labor Secretary Lori Chavez-DeRemer, including reports of an inspector general investigation into alleged workplace misconduct and claims of a hostile work environment. Representative Mark Takano challenged Aronowitz on his awareness of these reports, but Aronowitz stated he was unfamiliar with them and defended the secretary's professionalism.Democrats also questioned the department's recent shift in enforcing mental health parity requirements for employer-sponsored health plans. Representative Donald Norcross asked why the agency appeared to step back from stricter enforcement under the current administration. Aronowitz responded by emphasizing his personal experience with insurance denials for mental health treatment, arguing that the agency remains committed to removing barriers to care. He noted, however, that he could not discuss certain regulatory details due to ongoing litigation.Aronowitz further explained that the agency has elevated mental health access as a top priority, even as it reevaluates specific enforcement strategies. His remarks drew support from Representative Mark DeSaulnier, who praised his openness about personal experiences with behavioral health issues.DOL Benefits Chief Pressed On Labor Secretary's Conduct - Law360Hundreds of legal academics, students, and professional organizations are urging the American Bar Association to keep its law school diversity requirement as it considers eliminating the rule. During a public comment period, the ABA received dozens of submissions supporting the standard and only a small number favoring its repeal. The rule requires accredited law schools to show a commitment to diversity in areas like admissions, hiring, and student programs.Supporters argue the requirement is important for improving representation in the legal profession, which remains less diverse than the broader U.S. population. They also contend the rule does not mandate unlawful discrimination but instead promotes inclusion. Some critics, however, claim the standard encourages improper consideration of race and detracts from other priorities, such as academic preparation.The debate comes amid broader political pressure, including actions by the Trump administration challenging diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives. An executive order has even called into question the ABA's role as the official accreditor of U.S. law schools.The ABA had already suspended the diversity rule earlier in 2025, citing legal uncertainty at both state and federal levels. Its governing council is expected to decide whether to permanently eliminate the requirement at an upcoming meeting.Law professors defend ABA's law school diversity rule ahead of elimination vote | ReutersQVC Group Inc. filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in Texas with a prepackaged restructuring plan aimed at reducing about 80% of its $6.6 billion debt. The company expects to cut its debt down to roughly $1.3 billion and emerge from bankruptcy within about 90 days. The filing includes more than 70 affiliated entities, though most international operations are excluded.The restructuring follows ongoing financial struggles driven by declining cable television viewership, weak consumer demand, and external pressures like tariffs. Despite efforts to modernize—such as launching live shopping on social media platforms and targeting new customer demographics—the company has been unable to return to sustained growth.Historically, QVC and its subsidiary HSN were pioneers in televised retail, but shifting consumer habits toward e-commerce have eroded their traditional business model. In recent years, the company has taken cost-cutting steps, including layoffs affecting over 1,000 employees and consolidating operations.Financial strain intensified as revenue continued to decline and credit ratings dropped deeper into non-investment-grade territory. With billions in outstanding obligations, including loans nearing maturity, the company pursued a restructuring agreement with lenders to stabilize its finances.Under the Chapter 11 plan, creditors will exchange existing debt for new debt or equity, while vendors and suppliers are expected to be paid in full to maintain operations. The company also plans to continue business as usual during the restructuring process, supported by over $1 billion in available cash.QVC Hits Ch. 11 With Prepackaged Plan To Slash $6.6B Debt - Law360 This is a public episode.

The headlines are buzzing — QVC may be facing bankruptcy, and the future of America's most iconic shopping networks hangs in the balance. What went wrong, and what comes next for QVC and HSN? In this episode, we dive deep with Marvin Segel, son of QVC founder Joe Segel, to uncover the story behind the headlines and explore what this could mean for the future of televised retail as we kick off 2026 with a major conversation.

Home shopping channels have been a TV craze for decades. But it looks like the remaining players will be filing for bankruptcy shortly. QVC and HSN’s days are numbered thanks to the Internet. They can't survive. I remember friends who were obsessed with the home shopping channels back in the 80s. They would watch for hours and hours on end. Now that we can shop for anything online, there really is no point to TV shopping channels. In my lifetime, we've gone from downtown shopping districts to shopping centers to enclosed shopping malls. And then from TV shopping to the Internet.
