Entertainment (DStv 124) is ready with the pre-event red carpet coverage, E! Live from the Red Carpet Primetime Emmy Awards 2012 starting at midnight (South African time) on Sunday night.

The E! Live from the Red Carpet Primetime Emmy Awards 2012 is preceded by the one hour special, Countdown to the Red Carpet: The 2012 Primetime Emmy Awards, starting at 23:00 (South African time) on Sunday night, 23 September.
This Sunday - 23 September - is also the date E! Entertainment chose to change the look for the channel as its seen in the United Kingdom and in South Africa (South Africa gets the UK channel feed) to be similar to America where the channel originates and which changed its look in July.
Playing favourites, only certain South African TV critics and writers will be told about it by E! Entertainment on Thursday 20 September in Johannesburg, 3 days before the change.
