E! is an Australian pay television channel, owned by Universal Networks International.

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.

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

On the Foxtel platform, E! moved from channel 121 to channel 125.
