We’re taking a deep dive into one of television’s great forgotten
stories — the rise and fall of the Cable Value Network. For three
short years in the late 1980s, CVN was the shopping channel to beat — bold, ambitious,
and ahead of its time. But behind the flashing graphics and on-air
deals lay a story of rapid growth, fierce competition, and an
ending no one saw coming. Join us as we uncover how a network that
once led the pack ultimately became part of QVC’s empire.
