E! Entertainment Television is an American basic cable television network owned by Versant. The channel focuses primarily on pop culture, celebrity-based reality shows and movies.

The channel was launched on July 31, 1987 as Movietime by multiple consortium cable providers (Comcast, Continental Cablevision, Cox Cable, TCI, and Warner Cable), HBO/Warner Communications, and various shareholders, with HBO directly programming and managing the network. Movietime was relaunched on June 1, 1990 as E! to emphasize its widening coverage of the celebrity–industrial complex, contemporary film, television and music, daily Hollywood gossip, and fashion. Comcast and Disney/ABC Cable Networks acquired the channel in 1997 before acquiring Disney's stake outright in 2006. E! became part of NBCUniversal's cable division in 2011; which along with its cable channels spun off to Versant in 2026.
