History

E! was relaunched in 2012, shortly after the American version of E! did the same rebrand, which included a revised logo. Kim Kardashian visited Australia to promote the rebranding. [3]

The channel issued a casting call for journalists to become the face of E! Australia, and report on local entertainment news. [4] The contest was won by Ksenija Lukich. [5]

On the Foxtel platform, E! moved from channel 121 to channel 125. [6]
