E! channel debuts in Canada

CTV and Comcast International have partnered to produce the E! channel for Canadian audiences.

A new deal has been agreed with Comcast to syndicate content from the entertainment and celebrity news channel through the CTV network under the E! brand.

The deal includes access to current E! programming such as Keeping up with the Kardashians, Chelsea Lately and Kendra, as well as digital media, including mobile and video on demand services.

As part of the deal original Canadian content will also be created and a Canadian website will feature E! and original digital content.

The Star! channel will re-launch as E! at the end of November in 6.2 million homes.
