E! is an Australian pay television channel, owned by NBCUniversal International Networks. Much like its American counterpart it features entertainment-related programming, reality television and Hollywood news. It is available through the Foxtel, Austar and FetchTV in Australia and Sky in New Zealand.[1] In 2014, it became available on Australian streaming service Foxtel Play.[2] E! will shut down in Australia on 1 February 2023. [3]

History

E! was relaunched in 2012, shortly after the American version of E! did the same rebrand, which included a revised logo. Kim Kardashian visited Australia to promote the rebranding.[4]

The channel issued a casting call for journalists to become the face of E! Australia, and report on local entertainment news.[5] The contest was won by Ksenija Lukich.[6]

On the Foxtel platform, E! moved from channel 121 to channel 125 on 3 November 2014.[7] E! has since moved back to channel 121.

Programming

Ksenija Lukich, the winner of E! Host Australia Search.
