According to a CM Group report, 58% of Gen Z respondents said they want brands to respond to their comments on social media.

You know the story by now — a few hundred channels sourced from all sorts of places. (Though a quick look at the channel guide and you’ll quickly notice that Pluto TV is featured prominently, so suffice it to say you’ll find all sorts of Pluto/Paramount content on board.)

The launch is said to reflect Qurate Retail Group's strategic initiative to expand the reach of its original vCommerce experiences across new media and digital platforms. The QVC+ and HSN+ streaming experience is available to more than 100 million internet-connected homes across the US.

“We believe that shopping is an integral part of our daily lives, and we are committed to bringing convenience and innovation to Vizio Smart TVs,” said Chris Tanquary, senior director of business development at Vizio.

QVC® and HSN®, world leaders in multiplatform video commerce (“vCommerce”), have launched their free, interactive streaming shopping service on VIZIO (NYSE: VZIO) Smart TVs.

She told Revry, an LGBTQ+-focused TV channel, that people "don’t understand how hard Trans people work to be the people they know they are or desire to be."

In addition to the QVC and HSN streaming service, VIZIO Smart TVs also offer other popular apps such as WatchFree, which provides access to free TV channels. With this new shopping experience, VIZIO users can now enjoy the convenience of shopping from the comfort of their own home while watching their favorite TV shows and movies.

There are already plenty of apps for Vizio TV users to make use of, including the company’s own WatchFree+ service. As WatchFree+ already provided access to QVC and HSN content, this latest development marks an expansion of the agreement between Vizio and Qurate Retail Group, the owner of QVC and HSN.
