When and where was HSNi founded?
HSNi’s predecessor company began broadcasting television home shopping programming from its studios in St. Petersburg in 1981, and by 1985, was broadcasting this programming through a national network of cable and local television stations 24 hours a day, seven days a week. The company continued to broaden its national distribution network through a combination of cable, satellite and broadcast systems, and as of December 31, 2007, the HSN television network reached approximately 90.6 million homes in the United States. The company expanded its reach in the catalog business through the acquisition of Cornerstone on April 1, 2005.
