Ever catch a glance at the TV while your mom our aunts pick through the channels? Most likely, it’ll fall onto E! News, the popular entertainment news outlet with a track record on air for over 30 years.
Sadly, the E! News TV broadcast has reportedly been cancelled after 32 years on air due to the higher demand for real-time digital coverage and plummeting viewership of its 11 pm broadcast. The news outlets will still, however, air new episodes of their original series till 25th September 2025.
Previously, E! News went on an indefinite hiatus during the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, before returning to television screens 2 years later. Despite its comeback, E! has continued to prioritise its online news platform, particularly social media, to meet the growing demand for real-time entertainment news. This shift has left the E! News television programme somewhat misaligned with the network’s digital-first strategy.
E! News staff were informed of the cancellation on 24th July, as the network will still continue to have a presence on Hollywood red carpets. Original series and new episodes from the entertainment news hub will continue to air till early 2026, but will shift to digital platforms inevitably. Additionally, its “Live From E!” coverage at The Critics’ Choice Awards will air on E! on 4th January 2026.
