West Chester, Pennsylvania (WiredPRNews.com) – Television shopping network QVC is planning to showcase new specials on Black Friday.

Rose is further quoted as stating of QVC being a nice alternative for some shoppers who may not enjoy having to deal with the large in store crowds, “There are a lot of people who think of going to the mall on ‘Black Friday’ as dental surgery — painful and awful… We’ll be a good alternative.”
