E! was an Australian and New Zealand
NBCUIN signed a content agreement with Seven West Media in the Australian spring of 2022, which includes the launch of a new terrestrial channel, 7Bravo on 15 January 2023, that now includes E! content; with this, the previous content agreement with Foxtel was not renewed, and E! closed at 5:59 a.m. local time on 1 February 2023, which is considered the last minute of the 31 January broadcast day.[4]
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.[5]
The channel issued a casting call for journalists to become the face of E! Australia, and report on local entertainment news.[6] The contest was won by Ksenija Lukich.[7]
