Viewers will bid their last goodbyes tonight as E! Entertainment channel is leaving the screens for good.
The US network is behind multiple popular reality shows like Keeping Up With The Kardashians.
It is also known for other major programmes – including plastic surgery series Botched.
But after two decades of being part of the Sky’s package entertainment channels, E! will be shut down tonight on New Year’s Eve.
A Sky spokesperson confirmed: “In the UK, linear channel E! (EPG number 159) will come off Sky’s platforms on Sunday, December 31, 2023.”
However, reality show fans are still in for a last treat as the channel will stream a marathon of Keeping Up With The Kardashians as we welcome 2024.
Viewers can continue to tune into their favourite shows by switching to NBCUniversal’s streaming service Hayu.
It is is available on most streaming devices as well as on your smart TV.
A monthly subscription will set customers back £4.99, though you’ll save in the long run if you opt for an annual payment.
The spokesperson added: “Fans of E! UK can continue to keep up to date 24/7 on the latest in entertainment and pop culture news through E! online (www.eonline.com) and via E!’s social channels.
“Meanwhile, fans of reality can access over 300 shows and 10,000 episodes — including many popular E! shows — of their favourite reality programming on Hayu, NBCUniversal’s all-reality SVOD service that’s integrated into streaming service NOW, Sky Stream and Sky Glass and will come to Sky Q in early 2024.”
It comes after Sky announced in October that it would pull the plug on its Pick TV channel after 17 years in a huge shake up.
It was subsequently replaced by a brand new channel called Sky Mix.
The big shake up has left viewers devastated as they tuned in to discover the channel had disappeared.
