(HSN)
HSN's history stems from the first regional home-shopping cable television show known as The Home Shopping Club created by Lowell "Bud" Paxon and Roy Speer in Tampa, Florida, in 1981. The show went national in 1985 and the name changed to the Home Shopping Network. Today, HSN reaches 144 million viewers in four countries: United States, Great Britain, Japan, and Germany.
