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:
“We cannot spare our children the influence of harmful values by turning off the television any more than we can keep them home forever or revamp the world before they get there. Merely keeping them in the dark is no protection and, in fact, can make them vulnerable and immature.”
—Polly Berrien Berends (20th century)
“I can’t quite define my aversion to asking questions of strangers. From snatches of family battles which I have heard drifting up from railway stations and street corners, I gather that there are a great many men who share my dislike for it, as well as an equal number of women who ... believe it to be the solution to most of this world’s problems.”
—Robert Benchley (1889–1945)
