On December 5, 2019, it was announced that Lilliana Vazquez and Scott Tweedie would be the new co-anchors of the New York-based morning iteration of "E! News" which began airing on January 6, 2020. On March 13, 2020, it was announced that effective immediately, all of E!'s studio programming would go on an indefinite hiatus due to the COVID-19 pandemic. On August 5, 2020, E! canceled both New York-based shows, along with "In The Room", one of the first of many program and employee cuts and staff realignments announced across NBCUniversal that week. The news operation has continued to maintain the "E! News" website, and its social media presences.
