It\u2019s the end of an E-ra. After more than three decades, E!<\/a> is ending its flagship show, E! News<\/a><\/em>. Plus, the network has long since stopped Keeping Up With the Kardashians<\/a><\/em>. So what\u2019s next for cable TV\u2019s pop-culture destination?<\/p>\n Fans found out last week that E! News<\/em>, launched in 1991, will end on September 25<\/a>, though the news operation will continue as a digital brand on platforms like the E! Online website.<\/p>\n E! previously called a halt to the nightly entertainment-news program in 2020 amid Covid-19 lockdowns. The show returned in 2022 and shifted from daytime to late night. But upon the show\u2019s cancellation last week, its staff was informed that audiences preferred to consume entertainment news throughout the day on social media \u2014 where E! has 87 million followers \u2014 instead of at night on television \u2014 where Keltie Knight and Justin Sylvester, pictured below, host the show\u2019s current iteration \u2014 according to the Los Angeles Times<\/a><\/em>.<\/p>\n E! News<\/em>\u2019 cancellation comes amid a corporate breakup, as NBCUniversal spins off E! and other cable channels \u2014 including USA Network<\/a>, Syfy<\/a>, and MSNBC<\/a> \u2014 into a new company called Versant. NBC<\/a>, Bravo<\/a>, and Peacock<\/a>, meanwhile, will remain with NBCUniversal. And while about 20 people will be out of a job at E! News<\/em>, according to the Times<\/em>, some correspondents are expected to get new roles at Versant, Variety<\/a> reports.<\/p>\n Brandon Hickman\/E! Entertainment<\/p>\n<\/div>\n But the end of E! News<\/em> isn\u2019t necessarily the end of E! The channel still boasts original programming like Botched Presents: Plastic Surgery<\/a><\/em> Rewind<\/em><\/a> and Honestly Cavallari: The Headline Tour<\/a><\/em>, and the upcoming shows Kimora: Back in the Fab Lane<\/a><\/em> and E!\u2019s Dirty Rotten Scandals<\/em>. E! will continue to air Live From E!<\/a><\/em> red carpet coverage, and the 31st Critics Choice Awards<\/a> are slated to air on E! on January 4, 2026. The People\u2019s Choice Awards has aired on E! lately, and it\u2019s possible Botched<\/a><\/em> will return with new episodes soon.<\/p>\n E! also ended 2024 as the 60th most-watched network, with 158K total viewers, ahead of channels like Nickelodeon<\/a>, CNBC<\/a>, Disney Channel<\/a>, and OWN<\/a>, as Variety<\/a><\/em> reported. In the 18-to-49-year-old demographic, the channel ranked 41st, with 54K viewers. Those numbers are down from 2014<\/a>, when E! was getting 550k total viewers and 320k total viewers. But other linear TV channels have suffered similar audience declines with the rise of streaming. In the same time frame \u2014 2014 to 2024 \u2014 FX<\/a> lost 71 percent of its reach, USA lost 63 percent, and TBS<\/a> lost 58 percent, according to Nielsen and MoffettNathanson data cited in TripleLift\u2019s 100 Years of Television report<\/a>.<\/p>\n Plus, E! has had success with its Live<\/em> red-carpet programming recently. In 2024, Live From E!<\/em> averaged 735K viewers across its Oscars<\/a>, Grammys<\/a>, Emmys<\/a>, and People\u2019s Choice Awards<\/a>\u00a0coverage, up 30 percent over the year prior, according to Deadline<\/a>. Plus, Live From E!<\/em> \u2019s 2024 Grammys Award telecast was its most-watched Grammys show in seven years and the most-watched E! telecast in nearly four years, and both the pre-show and the post-show coverage grew for the third consecutive year. That good news came after Live From E!<\/em> enjoyed its most-watched Oscar programming in the 18-to-49 demo since 2020 and a tripling of its People\u2019s Choice Award audience.<\/p>\n So there\u2019s no need to write E!\u2019s obituary just yet: For now, the network will still air reality shows, docuseries, and its popular red carpet coverage. But maybe former E! News<\/em> host Lilliana Vazquez<\/a>\u00a0is right to say the network just needs more of that live, hot-take energy<\/a>.<\/p>\n More Headlines:<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n \u2018 The preceding article may include information circulated by third parties \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n \u2018 Some details of this article were extracted from the following source www.yakimaherald.com \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" It\u2019s the end of an E-ra.
