Shop Television Network, a Burbank producer of home-shopping programs, said it laid off 110 of its 120 employees after J. C. Penney pulled the plug on a cable-shopping channel produced by Shop Television. The layoffs became effective Friday, a day after QVC Network Inc., the nation's second-largest home-shopping service with 40 million viewers, announced that it had taken over service to about 12 million subscribers of the J.C. Penney-owned show, called JCPenney Television Shopping Channel.
