The decision to cancel the show is said to have come from the E! network, as it looks to leverage its brand of entertainment coverage and commentary across digital and social platforms. A source indicates that as news consumers demand real-time digital coverage, a broadcast during the 11 p.m. slot (which “E! News” has occupied since 2022) no longer best serves the audience. E! boasts a growing digital presence with 87 million followers across social media platforms.
