Watching E! Online without Cable

Nowadays, real-life politics provide so much ammunition for the satirists out there that it consumes all my time on YouTube. But back in 2015, it was the skewering of pop culture that I craved, in particular, the snark delivered by Joel McHale on E!. His show “The Soup” used to highlight the most ridiculous in the shows we loved, allowing us all to raise a cocked eyebrow at our collective weirdness.

“The Soup” is gone from E!, with Joel McHale haven taken his wit and his slapstick over to Netflix. But you can still cock an eyebrow at our culture by checking in other shows at E!, perhaps most notably “Keeping Up with the Kardashians.” On a network that features the glorification of the rich and famous, that show is the crown jewel. It’s a reality show (sort of), that is, in theory, unscripted (maybe), but in any case, the adventures of the Kardashian family are not the sort of reality that most of us experience.

Perhaps you might ogle their lives of privilege. Perhaps you judge their vapid verbal exchanges. But having just premiered its seventeenth season in September 2019, the show is going strong, with references to the family appearing all over pop culture. Kim Kardashian’s butt, alone, is a star on Instagram and magazine covers.

Whether you want to tune in for the butt or just to take jabs at the people who do, you don’t need to worry about having cable. Cord cutters have other ways to watch E!

How to Watch E! without Cable

Thankfully, as with most content on cable today, there are alternate ways to enjoy the channels and shows you want without forking over mountains of cash to a cable TV provider. Here are a few of the cable-subscription free ways you can stream E! online in order of cost.

E! on Sling TV

For the first month, you can subscribe to either Sling TV’s Blue or Orange package for 40% off, which gives you E! and over 40 other channels. After a month, the price goes up to $30/month.

Sling TV provides a live stream of E! so you are able to watch what would be airing on it just as if you had cable. E! is included in its Cloud DVR program, so you can record shows for later if you pay an additional $5/month.

With online access to E! streaming, you will never miss great shows like “Total Bellas,” “Keeping Up with the Kardashians,” “WAGS Atlanta,” “Total Divas,” and “Revenge Body Khloe Kardashian.”

Sling TV is available on Roku, Amazon Fire TV, Chromecast, and more, so it’s not a problem to enjoy E! on a TV, tablet, computer, or other smart devices. There are more channels than I’ve mentioned available on Sling TV than what I’ve mentioned here. To find out more about what Sling TV has to offer, and more information about Sling TV device compatibility, check out this detailed review of Sling TV.
