Overview

  • The show’s final live taping is set for September 25, with fresh episodes airing until the linear broadcast concludes.
  • E! News will continue as a digital brand on its website and social media platforms after the TV program ends.
  • The move is part of NBCUniversal’s strategy to spin off E! into Comcast’s new Versant company as cable viewership declines.
  • About 20 E! News staffers were informed of the cancellation and some are expected to transition to roles within Versant.
  • Other E! network series, including Access Hollywood and Access Daily, will remain on air unaffected.
