Short for [[https://www.eonline.com E! Entertainment Television]], E! is a channel dedicated to news and gossip about the entertainment industry. It is owned by Creator/NBCUniversal (which in turn is owned by Comcast), thus is a sister channel to Creator/{{NBC}}, Creator/USANetwork, Creator/{{Syfy}}, etc. From its founding in 1987 until 1990, the network was known as ''Movietime''.

Notable for its ''E! True Hollywood Story'' documentary series, which is essentially the general entertainment version of Creator/VH1's ''Behind The Music''.

Their Canadian counterpart had previously been known as Star!, and was owned by CHUM Limited before [=CTVglobemedia=] (now Creator/BellMedia) bought them in 2006; Star! rebranded as E! in 2010. Prior to then, the E! name, logo, and some programming were licensed to Canwest (owners of Creator/GlobalTelevisionNetwork), which rebranded its secondary TV system, CH[[note]]named after its flagship station, CHCH, in Hamilton, Ontario[[/note]], as E! in 2007. But due to a crippling debt load, Canwest went bankrupt in 2009, resulting in the CH/E! system being dismantled as the stations were either sold off or shuttered.
