E! Co-Founder Launches Celeb-Focused Site

The co-founder of E! is launching a celebrity-focused online network complete with several programs in the hope of establishing a new brand on the entertainment programming space.

Alan Mruvka created E! (then called Movietime) 23 years ago with Larry Namer. Last week, he returned to his roots with the launch of The Look, a new site that aims to blend fashion and celebrity programming with e-commerce.

“When I was pitching E!, I used to say that TV is like a newspaper; there’s headlines and sports, but there was no (entertainment) section,” Mruvka said.
