Shopping channels receive none of the subscription money, in fact they have to pay to be on the platform. To make it financially viable a minimum number of extra sales have to be generated by being on cable.

Probably more a case of shopping channels not being able to compete with online only retailers which don't have the same overheads.

The original Ideal World owners sold Create & Craft to Hochanda and later disposed of the Ideal World business to its new owners. Perhaps the new owners acquired the legacy contracts but don't want to renew them, that might explain the timing.
