E! Entertainment is a European television channel, operated by E! Entertainment Europe B.V. and owned by NBCUniversal. It features entertainment-related programming, reality television and Hollywood gossip and news. E! currently has an audience reach of 600 million homes internationally.

History [edit]

E! Entertainment Television was founded by Larry Namer and Alan Mruvka in the United States.^[1]^[2]

The network launched on July 31, 1987 as Movietime, a service that aired movie trailers, entertainment news, event and awards coverage, and interviews as an early example of a national barker channel.^[3] Three years later, in June 1990, Movietime was renamed E! Entertainment Television to emphasize its widening coverage of the celebrity-industrial complex, contemporary film, television and music, daily Hollywood gossip, and fashion.

In 2002 E! launched in Europe with its headquarters situated in Amsterdam, the Netherlands.^[4]^[5]^[6]

At the end of 2011 E! Europe launched in HD in Eastern Europe.^[7] The UK and Ireland followed on October 8, 2012.^[8]

E! in Europe has localized versions of the same channel including the UK, Ireland, Benelux, France, Poland and Italy. The channels share similar content but with localized advertising and dubbing and/or subtitling.^[9] These channels are licensed by Ofcom.
