Same here.I cut the cord several years ago and have found I can get 72 stations for free with an antenna. Of course two thirds of them are Home Shopping Network but in addition to the networks I get a few other interesting stations.

Yes. HSN (Home Shopping Network) is part of QVC Group, and QVC Group filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in April 2026. HSN itself is included in that U.S. restructuring.

The important point is:

It is a Chapter 11 reorganization, not a liquidation.
HSN and QVC are still operating while the bankruptcy proceeds.
The company says customers can continue to shop normally, employees are being paid, and vendors will continue supplying merchandise.

The filing was driven by several factors:

More than $6 billion in debt that the company wants to restructure.
Declining cable TV audiences (”cord-cutting”).
Competition from Amazon, TikTok Shop, Temu, Shein, and other online retailers.
Sales have fallen sharply from their pandemic-era peak.

The goal is to reduce debt dramatically and emerge from Chapter 11 within a few months if the restructuring is approved.

In short: HSN is not shutting down today, but its parent company is in Chapter 11 bankruptcy while it reorganizes its finances.
