Television Stations
While Shop at Home was primarily a cable and satellite television network, the network also aired on broadcast television stations in the United States. Until Scripps' sale of the network, five of these stations were owned and operated by Shop at Home itself. In September 2006, Scripps agreed to sell the stations to Multicultural Television Broadcasting LLC for $170 million pending FCC approval; they dropped Shop at Home programming soon after Multicultural took over. The five stations were:
- WSAH 43 Bridgeport, Connecticut/New York City
- WMFP 62 Lawrence/Boston, Massachusetts
- KCNS 38 San Francisco, California
- WRAY-TV 30 Wilson/Raleigh, North Carolina
- WOAC 67 Canton/Cleveland, Ohio
Other stations remained affiliated with the Shop at Home Network, and are listed below:
- WYLE Florence/Huntsville, Alabama/Decatur, Alabama
- KSVM-LP Santa Barbara, California/Santa Maria, California/San Luis Obispo, California
- WJJA Racine/Milwaukee
- WJYS Hammond, Indiana/Chicago
- KHON-DT2 Honolulu, Hawaii (late night hours only)
Some stations stopped broadcasting Shop at Home before the first closure:
- KZJL Houston, TX
In addition, programming was seen online on the network's website.
Following SAH's first closure, these stations began airing Jewelry Television. Some stations continued to JTV in the late morning and afternoon even after Shop at Home's return to 24-hour programming. WJJA would carry JTV until April 21, when it was purchased by Weigel Broadcasting to carry the Me TV classic television format and became WBME-TV.

Famous quotes containing the words television and/or stations:
“His [O.J. Simpson’s] supporters lined the freeway to cheer him on Friday and commentators talked about his tragedy. Did those people see the photographs of the crime scene and the great blackening pools of blood seeping into the sidewalk? Did battered women watch all this on television and realize more vividly than ever before that their lives were cheap and their pain inconsequential?”
—Anna Quindlen (b. 1952)
“A reader who quarrels with postulates, who dislikes Hamlet because he does not believe that there are ghosts or that people speak in pentameters, clearly has no business in literature. He cannot distinguish fiction from fact, and belongs in the same category as the people who send cheques to radio stations for the relief of suffering heroines in soap operas.”
—Northrop Frye (b. 1912)
