InterActiveCorp profile and media properties
Greg Blatt is the CEO of InterActiveCorp.
InterActiveCorp (IAC) is a force in electronic commerce, both on television and online. The company owns the Home Shopping Network (HSN), along with Ticketmaster, Citysearch and Match.com among many other services (see the list below).
Home Shopping Network is one of the leaders in American television direct retailing, although as measured by total sales it is second to QVC, a service of Liberty Media Corporation. Other competing services include Shop at Home (from E.W. Scripps Co.) and ShopNBC (from NBC Universal).
Home Shopping Network had total revenues of $2.38 billion in 2004. As a group, TV retailers had 2004 revenues of about $7 billion. In a 2003 report, Morgan Stanley & Co. estimated that about 12% of the U.S. population watches home shopping services on TV.
In July 2005 the company decided to spin off the online travel business Expedia, making it an indepedent company.
Also in July 2005, InterActiveCorp bought search engine Ask Jeeves, continuing a long history of acquisitions, divestitures and related financial gymnastics.
CEO Barry Diller has been criticized for richly compensating himself - to the tune of $469 million in 2005 - to run the company.
The company had revenue of $6.2 billion in 2004.

HI world....I think it's time you all know that hsn is a farce. Hsn and its founders and owners have slowly started the Commercial shutdown of America. It all starts with your great product getting national TV air time. However if hsn feels it wants to be lethargic...they will...your new company that is very successful........before taking your product to hasn......then after hsn it seems they wish to have exclusivity with your product. Which seems good at first. Then when hsn does get exclusivity with your product....They will get lethargic...they will only air your product at certain times....plus knowing you need more time to get the story of your product out to be successful on hsn live tv. So they recognize it. Like a young boy first discovering his penis and the great feeling you get when you touch it. They do that penis touching for you at first.....it feels good....then hsn starts to bite at the head. then they just deep throat it all down and take a big bite. Now your company has sold nothing on hsn.....bad air times.....not long enough to get high enough sales spikes to impress hsn. although this guy Barry Diller can take over a quarter billion for himself. Did he ever think about the small American Home Grown companies he was taking that money from....then he just steps down? Doesn't that sound like what the sharks in this country did to your 401k's....OK hsn...you want to rumble we can do this......I'm going to get the ones who make examples out of companies like hsn....to take notice at what hsn and its CEO's are doing to the little guy....same s*** the dirty republicans have been doing to the world. Yes thank Allah for hsn guys....... | |
