This Statement amends and supplements the
Solicitation/Recommendation Statement on Schedule 14D-9 of QVC,
Inc., a Delaware corporation, filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission on August 11, 1994, as previously amended
and supplemented (the "Schedule 14D-9") with respect to the
tender offer made by QVC Programming Holdings, Inc., a Delaware
corporation to be wholly owned by Comcast Corporation, a Penn-
sylvania corporation, and Liberty Media Corporation, a Delaware
corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Tele-Communica-
tions, Inc., a Delaware Corporation (collectively, the
"Bidders"), to purchase all outstanding Shares at a price of
$46 per Common Share and $460 per Preferred Share, net to the
seller in cash, without interest thereon, upon the terms and
subject to the conditions set forth in the Offer to Purchase,
dated August 11, 1994 and the related Letter of Transmittal,
which were annexed to and filed with the Schedule 14D-9 as Ex-
hibits 1 and 2, respectively, as amended and supplemented by
filings with the Commission on Schedule 14D-1 by the Bidders
(as described herein or therein).
Capitalized terms used and not defined herein shall
have the meanings assigned such terms in the Schedule 14D-9 as
heretofore amended and supplemented.
Item 8. Additional Information to be Furnished.
The information set forth in the Schedule 14D-9 under
Item 8(d) ("Antitrust") is hereby amended and supplemented as
follows:
According to a press release issued by Comcast and
Liberty on September 9, 1994 and to information contained in
Amendment No. 6 to the Schedule 14D-1, filed by the Bidders
with the Commission on September 9, 1994, the FTC has requested
additional information from each of TCI, as the ultimate parent
of Liberty, and Ralph J. Roberts, as the ultimate parent of
Comcast, regarding the proposed acquisition by Comcast and
Liberty of the shares of the Purchaser and their respective
contributions to the Purchaser. A copy of the press release
has been filed by the Bidders as an exhibit to Amendment No. 6
to the Schedule 14D-1.
As previously described in the Schedule 14D-9, the
Offer may not be consummated until the waiting periods under
the HSR Act applicable to (i) the contemplated ownership by
Comcast and Liberty of the Purchaser and (ii) the purchase of
Shares in the Offer have expired or been terminated. As a
result of the receipt of the request for additional information
in connection with the proposed acquisition by Comcast and
Liberty of the shares of the Purchaser and their respective
contributions to the Purchaser, the waiting period under the
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
HSR Act applicable to that transaction will be extended until
11:59 P.M., New York City time, on the twentieth day after
substantial compliance by TCI and Ralph J. Roberts with such
request. The waiting period under the HSR Act applicable to
the purchase of Shares pursuant to the Offer, as previously
described in the Schedule 14D-9, will be extended until 11:59
P.M., New York City time, on the tenth day after substantial
compliance by Ralph J. Roberts with the request for additional
information received on August 24, 1994 with respect to such
purchase. Either waiting period can be extended beyond such
respective times only by court order.
