Music
HSN has used a wide variety of themes and cues over the years. In 1987, a theme from Home Shopping Club was used as the theme to the short-lived syndicated game show Home Shopping Game and was used as station ID music until the early 1990s.
The current return from commercial music titled "Let's Go Nuts" was heard in a Clairol Nice 'n Easy with ColorBlend Technology commercial from 2009. The track is used for a "coming up" bumper with the host reading the lineup. In some cases, the host does not read the lineup and only the music plays. This is done on some shows that are hosted by Shannon Smith and on different occasions on those hosted by Diana Perkovic. A track with a guitar and xylophone titled "Summer Bash" was used during the summer of 2010, and the first-ever Christmas version of the return from commercial track debuted for the 2010 holiday season.
Other production music tracks (including Christmas tracks and the current Today's Special and Showstopper tracks) are also used on HSN. The Today's Special track is titled "Rock with a Smile". HSN used later Showstopper beds including "Fresh Air", which was replaced by "Cool as Ice" in 2010. When HSN updated its Showstopper graphics, a new Showstopper bed titled "Triple Play" was introduced.
