    Shopaholic insomniacs turn on ValueVision Media's 24-hour, at-home shopping channel. Its ShopNBC unit, which trails industry leaders QVC and InterActiveCorp's HSN, sells jewelry (more than 35% of sales), computers and electronics, housewares, apparel, cosmetics, fitness products, watches, and collectibles. ValueVision distributes 24-hour home-shopping programming through cable TV systems and satellite services, one company-owned TV station, and its Web site. Typical viewers are women over 35 with household incomes exceeding $70,000. The company has shutdown its FanBuzz subsidiary, an e-commerce and solutions provider of affinity-based sports merchandise. NBC Universal owns about 24% of the firm's common stock.
