Στην [[Κύπρος|Κύπρο]] το κανάλι μεταδίδεται αποκλειστικά μέσω της [[NOVA Κύπρου]]. Είναι το κορυφαίο κανάλι που καλύπτει τα πάντα γύρω από τα celebrities, τον σύγχρονο κινηματογράφο, την τηλεόραση και τη μουσική, με αφοσίωση στο καθημερινό κουτσομπολιό του Hollywood και τη μόδα.
Το E! είναι επίσης το “σπίτι” των αδελφών Kardashians, αλλά και ψυχαγωγικών σόου όπως τα ''Fashion Police'' και ''Chelsea Lately,'' όπως και της απαράμιλλης κάλυψης των τελετών των Χρυσών Σφαιρών και των Όσκαρ.
<!--== History ==
===Movietime===
E! was originally launched on July 31, 1987 as '''Movie Time''', a service that aired movie trailers, entertainment news, event and awards coverage, and interviews as an early example of a national [[barker channel]].<ref>{{cite news|url= http://query.nytimes.com/gst/fullpage.html?res=9C0CE4DD173CF930A35755C0A966958260&sec=&spon=|work=The New York Times|first= Jeremy|last=Gerard|title=TELEVISION; Fledgling Cable Networks Are Poised for Flight|date=June 3, 1990}}</ref> The channel was founded by [[Larry Namer]] and [[Alan Mruvka]].<ref name="BOOK1">{{cite book|last=Slide|first=Anthony|title=The television industry: a historical dictionary|publisher=[[Greenwood Press]] |year=1991 |edition=illustrated|page=94|isbn=0-313-25634-9|oclc=9780313256349|url=http://books.google.com/books?id=z4EYAAAAIAAJ&q=alan-mruvka&dq=alan-mruvka}}</ref><ref name="NYT1">{{cite news |url=http://www.nytimes.com/1987/07/30/business/advertising-promoting-movies-via-cable.html|title=Advertising; Promoting Movies Via Cable|last=Dougherty |first=Philip H.|date=July 30, 1987|work=[[The New York Times]]|accessdate=June 24, 2009}}</ref> Early Movietime hosts included [[Greg Kinnear]], [[Paula Abdul]], [[Katie Wagner]], [[Julie Moran]], Suzanne Kay (daughter of [[Diahann Carroll]]), [[Mark DeCarlo]], [[Sam Rubin]] and [[Richard Blade]].
===E!===

Controlling ownership was originally held by a [[consortium]] of five cable television providers ([[Comcast]], [[Continental Cablevision]], [[Cox Communications|Cox Cable]], [[Tele-Communications Inc.|TCI]], and [[Warner Cable]]), [[HBO]]/[[Warner Communications]], and various founding shareholders, with HBO directly programming and managing the network. In 1989, after [[Time-Life]] bought Warner Communications to fend off a takeover bid by Paramount, the new [[Time Warner]] company held four of the eight major ownership positions and took over management control of Movietime and renamed the network as '''E!: Entertainment Television''' on June 1, 1990; this name change was made to emphasize its widening coverage of the [[celebrity-industrial complex]], contemporary film, television and music, daily Hollywood gossip, and fashion.
In 1997, Comcast, one of the minority partners, teamed up with [[Disney–ABC Television Group|Disney/ABC Cable Networks]] to buy the channel after Time-Warner had exercised their put agreement.<ref>[http://www.highbeam.com/doc/1G1-19020738.html Comcast Corp. Gains Exclusive Right to Buy E! Entertainment], Knight Ridder/Tribune Business News (originated from ''[[The Philadelphia Inquirer]]''; via [[HighBeam Research]]), January 11, 1997.</ref> In November 2006, Comcast (which eventually had the largest ownership stake in the network through mergers with forerunners of TCI and Continental under various circumstances) acquired Disney's 39.5% share of E! for $1.23 billion to gain full ownership of the network as part of a broader programming carriage agreement between Disney/ABC and Comcast.<ref>{{cite web|url= http://www.comcast.com/About/PressRelease/PressReleaseDetail.ashx?PRID=24|title= Comcast and the Walt Disney Company Announce Long-Term Comprehensive Distribution Agreements Securing Carriage for Disney Media Networks’ Products and Services|publisher=[[Comcast]]|accessdate=March 19, 2012}}</ref>
Comcast Entertainment Group, the company's television unit, became a division of the [[NBCUniversal Television Group]], after Comcast acquired a 51% majority stake in NBCUniversal in January 2011.<ref>[http://www.pcworld.com/article/183652/nbcuniversalcomcast_merger_what_we_do_and_dont_know.html NBC-Universal-Comcast Merger: What We Do and Don't Know], ''[[PC World (magazine)|PCWorld]]'', December 3, 2009.</ref> E!'s only sister networks prior to the NBC Universal merger were Style Network (now [[Esquire Network]]) and [[G4 (TV channel)|G4]], along with Comcast's sports networks: Versus, [[Comcast SportsNet]] and [[Golf Channel]]. In the case of Versus, E! staff produced that network's ''[[Sports Soup]]'', while the Orlando-based Golf Channel featured no crossovers with E! at all due to incompatible audiences and operations. Versus and Golf Channel were taken under the direct control of the [[NBC Sports]] division, with the former being renamed [[NBC Sports Network]] in January 2012, and are no longer connected to their former sister networks beyond advertising and in-house operations.
On July 9, 2012, the channel introduced a revised logo (the first change to its logo since the network rebranded as E! in 1990), removing the [[exclamation mark]] background behind the "E" but keeping the exclamation point underneath, along with a new slogan "Pop of Culture", which coincided with the launch of the new series ''[[Opening Act]]''. The network will also eventually introduce scripted series programming, in addition to its existing reality and documentary series. The changes were announced during E!'s programming upfront presentation on April 30, 2012.<ref>[http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/e-new-logo-pop-of-culture-tagline-318032 E! Unveils New Logo, 'Pop of Culture' Tagline], ''[[The Hollywood Reporter]]'', April 30, 2012.</ref>-->
