Thu Jul 24 20:20:00 UTC 2025: ## E! News Canceled *Again* – Network Focuses on Digital

**Los Angeles, CA** – Hold onto your hats, celebrity gossip fans! After a brief revival, E! News is getting the axe… *again*. The celebrity-focused newscast will cease production on September 25th, E! announced today. This marks the second time the show has been canceled, previously being shelved in 2020 before returning in a late-night format three years ago.

The move comes as E!, currently spinning off from NBCUniversal and set to be folded into the new company Versant, aims to double down on its digital and social media presence. Sources say the decision stems from a desire to deliver entertainment news in real-time to a growing audience of online consumers.

“With 87 million followers across social media, E! is clearly seeing the writing on the wall,” an insider revealed. “A nightly broadcast just doesn’t compete with the immediacy of online coverage.”

The cancellation affects approximately 20 employees. While some linear correspondents are expected to transition to roles within Versant, the exact details remain unclear.

Don’t fret too much, though, E! devotees! While *E! News* is bowing out, the network is continuing to invest in original programming, including upcoming series like *Kimora: Back in the Fab Lane* and *E!’s Dirty Rotten Scandals*. And, fear not red carpet glamour! *Live From E!* will continue its coverage of Hollywood events, including the Critics Choice Awards on January 4th.

So, while the E! News chapter closes once more, the network promises to keep bringing the celebrity buzz, just in a different format. Stay tuned to E!’s digital platforms for the latest updates!
