Looks like the employees of HSN have been evacuated due to the hurricane. The are based in the Tampa area. On-screen Graphics say PREVIOUSLY RECORDED. While some programming during the overnights is generally PREVIOUSLY RECORDED, Live Programming usually resumes well before 9AM.

I used to live about a mile from the HSN headquarters. My area has been evacuated. This storm represents my very worst Florida nightmare. If the storm moves any further west, the storm surge in Tampa Bay will flood huge areas of Pinellas and Hillsborough counties. My thoughts and prayers are with my family and friends in the Tampa/St. Petersburg area.

The latest models show a direct hit on Naples, Marco Island and Fort Myers, but anything can change, including Miami/WPB. Irma's STILL a monster at a category 3, and she can go wherever she wants with those 125+ mph winds. Prayers to FL!

Could go back to a 4 or 5. HSN does live programming overnight and HSN2 is best of.

Suspending operations was the right move. The storm will be past Tampa soon and the damage to the region can be assessed. For now it appears that the very worst fears weren't realized, but it's still pretty bad.

As of yesterday there was some live programming on HSN, but most of it still was previously recorded. At 12AM the female host who came on said the limited Live Programming is coming from Nashville.

My Mom had HSN on just before 7AM (Eastern) this morning. She said the President of HSN came on and said they are back to full operations in St. Petersburg, Florida.
