Well shopping channels can fill with "this is what we have coming up for you, let's tell you about the steam cleaner we have hopefully later", that sort of thing and maybe chuck to a sister channel or some VT or whatever.
When Quiz TV was a thing, and the phone system fell over, the problem with the format was there was nothing to fill with. So the filling was quite often painful to watch. You can't say "we have this quiz coming up later" or introduce a piece of VT explaining about "the product", because you're not selling anything. It's always fun to see who's been there before, done that and who looked like a deer in a headlight when a Quiz TV channel broke down.
