The Home Shopping Network (HSN) is a television network that specializes in retail sales through live broadcasts. It features a variety of products, including electronics, fashion, beauty items, and home goods, which are presented by hosts who demonstrate their features and benefits. Viewers can purchase items directly by calling a toll-free number or visiting the HSN website. Founded in 1977, HSN was one of the first shopping channels to offer products via television. It has since evolved to include online shopping and mobile apps, making it easier for customers to browse and buy products from the comfort of their homes.
