Entertainment channel E! has cancelled its live news programme E! News after 29 years on the air.

The announcement comes just a year after the network signalled its intent to increase news programming with a new studio in New York.

E! News, which has featured presenters including Ryan Seacrest and Giuliana Rancic, switched from a night-time LA broadcast to a morning NY show as part of those changes.

News shows Pop of the Morning and In The Room have also been axed amid coronavirus cost-cutting measures, according to Variety.

The publication says that the broadcaster will continue with its other news shows, Daily Pop and Nightly Pop, out of LA.
