\u201cE! News,\u201d the nightly pop culture program that helped define cable network E! Entertainment Television, is going away.<\/p>\n

The Comcast-owned network informed \u201cE! News\u201d staff Thursday the program will tape its final episode on Sept. 25. The channel\u2019s news operation will continue to provide coverage online, where it has a robust presence.<\/p>\n

The staff was told the E! news audience prefers breaking entertainment coverage throughout the day on social media platforms instead of showing up at 11 p.m. Eastern for a live nightly show on traditional TV. About 20 jobs will be eliminated with the cancellation.<\/p>\n

The network will continue to provide live coverage of red carpet events such as the Oscars and Golden Globes. E! also carries the People\u2019s Choice Awards.<\/p>\n

The \u201cE! News\u201d move was revealed ahead of the channel\u2019s move to Versant, the spinoff company<\/a> that will include other Comcast cable channels such as MSNBC, CNBC and Golf Channel.<\/p>\n

Comcast is putting all of its cable networks \u2014 with the exception of Bravo \u2014 into Versant to prevent the mature businesses from dragging down the company\u2019s stock price. <\/p>\n

\u201cE! News\u201d was launched in 1991 and was long a highly profitable business for the network as there were few TV outlets for live coverage of entertainment and pop culture. Ryan Seacrest<\/a> was co-host of the program from 2006 to 2015. The program was canceled in 2020 but returned in 2022.<\/p>\n

The show is currently co-hosted by Keltie Knight and Justin Sylvester. Some of the on-air talent from the program will have the chance to move to Versant.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
