Yesshop (stylised as YESSHOP) was a New Zealand shopping channel. The channel was based on the South Korean model of home shopping.

The channel originally launched in New Zealand on free-to-air television and pay television on 4 November 2013. [1] The channel announced on 12 November 2013, that creative student talent, from various schools in New Zealand, would feature on the channel on Sunday mornings, beginning on 17 November 2013. [2] The channel expanded to Australian pay television provider Foxtel, launching on 29 February 2016, [3] after signing a deal with them on 20 November of the previous year. [4] [5] The channel hit the streets of Auckland to sing for the charity KidsCan, on 4 May 2016. [6] The channel also received a short-lived run on Australian regional free-to-air television via Southern Cross Austereo, launching on 1 August 2016. [7]

Yesshop's owner, Yes Retail, made the decision to cease trading on 29 September 2016 citing lack of funds to pay wages and the company's current losses of approximately 20 million dollars. [8] Employees' contracts were terminated the same day. [9] Two young business owners were upset at the demise of Yesshop, because they would be left out of pocket after the collapse of the channel's owner. [10] On Southern Cross Austereo's regional free-to-air television stations, on 17 July 2017, a channel owned by evangelist Jimmy Swaggart, SonLife Broadcasting Network, launched using this channel's old spectrum.
