Required Monthly Test

Can someone tell me why the "required monthly test" that my cable system runs turns my channel to QVC? I mean, of all channels, it's always QVC.

Is this a secret conspiracy to get people to buy overpriced computers and those ugly-ass dolls?

And does QVC pay extra for this honor? I wonder if it actually increases their sales.

(For the record, they were selling some ugly weathervane thing when it switched over just now. A great reminder why nothing I'd ever want at a price I'm willing to pay will ever be sold on that channel.)
