They didn't get rid of it--E! outbid them for the entire run of "SNL."
However, as you may know, the airing of "SNL" on E! has fallen into limbo, as NBC is suing the channel for a "101 Greatest 'SNL' Moments" special that was supposed to air back in January. The network claims that the special violated their contract for airing "SNL." Therefore, repeats of "SNL" are nowhere on television except for NBC weekend overnights, until E! and the Peacock iron out their differences--if that ever happens.
I will bet you even money that "SNL" repeats will end up on Trio within the next year.
