Storms knock out QVC

There were nasty thunderstorms in the greater Philadelphia area last evening and they knocked out QVC. Their studios are located in Westchester, PA. For quite a while there was no audio while host David V was onair and they were selling the Today's Special Value - a Shark Vacuum. After several minutes of commercials on both QVC and Q2. They ended up switching to a pre-taped presentation of the the vacuum. Q2 ended up showing a pre-taped presentation of the Q2 Big Deal since they were unable to go live to LA to broadcast live from Jamie Foxx's house. (The Q2 Big Deal was a pair of sunglasses from Jamie Foxx). By 8:15PM Eastern QVC was back up with live programming, which was being simulcast on Q2. By 8:45 they were able to switch Q2 to LA for the remaining 15 mins of the Q2 Big Deal. Since QVC3 is all "best-of" programming they were not affected by the outage.

Were they able to do the Jamie Foxx special eventually or was it rescheduled?
 
* West Chester, Chester County, PA. Two words, unlike Westchester County, NY. West heading out from Philadelphia and about 17 miles north of Wilmington, DE. (I thought it was one word myself some years ago.)
 
Did anyone post the initial outage on youtube or anywhere? Or is that some kind of copyright violation.

Hard to picture QVC ever enforcing a copyright.
Heck, somebody might actually see it and call in an order.

For something that hasn't been in stock since 2001? Not that I've ever seen old QVC footage on YouTube -- but if they're not enforcing copyright, some is probably there, and there are certainly a bunch of vintage TV posters (and one vintage commercial posterI think we all know about) on YT who've had all sorts of stuff up for years with nary a copyright strike. The Weather Channel apparently doesn't care, for instance, which is strange since it's an NBCUniversal property.

I thought NBCU sold their share in TWC?
