Pilot episode screened Sunday 5 April 1992 at 14.00 and 20.00.
From Monday 6 April 1992, E Street commenced with episode 47 and screened Monday to Friday at 18.30-19.00 with a repeat the following afternoon at 1pm.
11 September 1993, episode 252, E Street was moved to weekend daytime slots and was shown in hour-long episodes on Saturdays 18.00-19.00 and Sundays 13.00-14.00. This was briefly to accommodate Paradise Beach in the 18.30 weekday slot but ultimately became an extremely unpopular scheduling decision.
On Tuesday, 4 January 1994, E Street returned to the 18.30 timeslot with the afternoon repeat now at 12.30p.m, thus creating an 'Aussie Soap Hour' with Paradise Beach which aired 12.00/18.00.
E Street remained popular in the UK, despite its cancellation in Australia. During September 1994, a year and a half after it last aired Down Under, E Street was moved to the primetime 19.00 slot and the final episode 404 screened on Monday 27th-Tuesday 28 February 1995 as 2 half-hour episodes.
Sky One did not transmit Episodes 1 to 46 of E Street. Subsequent episodes were customised and heavily edited for transmission on Sky One. This included heavy soundtrack changes, major cuts of violent and unsuitable scenes (Episodes 170, 254 and 260 are examples) and a different closing sequence, removing advertising and music credits.
E Street has never been repeated in the UK.
