ShopNBC Board Appoints Randy Ronning as Chairman

Minneapolis, MN – June 25, 2009 – ShopNBC (NASDAQ: VVTV), the premium lifestyle brand in electronic retailing, today announced at its annual shareholders meeting that the company’s Board of Directors unanimously elected Randy Ronning as Chairman of the Board, effective immediately, succeeding John Buck, who is voluntarily stepping down as Chairman, but will remain on the Board.

Mr. Ronning, a retail and TV shopping veteran with over 36 years of leadership experience, is currently serving on ShopNBC’s Board. “I am honored to be named Chairman and am deeply gratified of the Board’s support,” said Mr. Ronning. “I will work closely with the Board and senior management to continue executing the turnaround of ShopNBC, as we position ourselves to be the authority and destination for home, fashion, beauty and jewelry shoppers.”

Mr. Keith Stewart, ShopNBC’s President and CEO, and member of the Board, stated: “Randy’s unanimous election as chairman reflects the Board’s confidence in his ability and the future of our company. With his instrumental guidance, we have the right combination of industry expertise, leadership structure and experience to advance our strategies during this period of transition at our multi-channel electronic retailing business.”

Added Mr. Stewart, “On behalf of the Board of Directors, I would like to thank John Buck for his extraordinary commitment to ShopNBC during these past few years of great change at the company.”

Mr. John Buck said: “The timing is right for me to step down as chairman. Keith Stewart has demonstrated strong leadership and outlined a compelling vision for the company. As an organization, ShopNBC is running more efficiently than ever while continuing to tightly control its operating expenses. The management team across all areas of the company is second-to-none and represents the new wave in our industry. The company is nearing completion of its cable and satellite renegotiations and, while doing so, has maintained its national footprint of 73 million homes while significantly lowering its distribution fees. ShopNBC’s seven-member Board has been reconstituted over the past 12 months with five new directors, who will be chaired by an extremely well-versed multi-channel retailing veteran in Randy Ronning. Finally, the company’s financial obligation to GE has been restructured, giving ShopNBC time and flexibility to complete its turnaround. I am grateful to have served as Chairman of such a dynamic company, and I look forward to its bright future.”

In addition to Mr. Ronning’s newly elected position as Chairman, all of the incumbent directors were re-elected at the company’s annual shareholders meeting, including Keith Stewart, President & CEO of ShopNBC; John Buck, non-executive Chairman of Medica; Joseph Berardino, Managing Director, Alvarez & Marsal; Catherine Dunleavy, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, NBC Universal Cable; Patrick Kocsi, Managing Director, GE Commercial Finance; and Robert Korkowski, retired, former SVP of Finance and Director, Opus Corporation.
