E.W. Scripps Company, also known as Scripps, is a publicly owned American broadcasting company headquartered in Cincinnati, Ohio. Founded in 1878 by Edward Willis "E. W." Scripps and his sister, Ellen Browning Scripps, the company employs approximately 5,960 individuals and focuses on media production, having reported $2.2B in revenue as of 2025. Initially established as a chain of daily newspapers, it was also formerly a media conglomerate.
Scripps Networks announced on July 1, 2026, a partnership with Nomadic Pictures for "The Horseman," a feature-length Western starring Emmy® winners Barry Pepper and Kiefer Sutherland. Principal photography for the film, directed by Rod Lurie, is underway, with a global release anticipated in early 2027. Earlier in June, on the 21st, DirecTV formally petitioned the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to reject a proposed transaction that would enable E.W. Scripps Company to regain control of 23 local television stations currently held by INYO Broadcast Holdings. This follows a June 16 statement from the NCTA, a cable-backed group, asserting that the FCC lacks the authority to approve an ownership waiver for Scripps regarding its acquisition of the Ion stations from INYO. Previously, on June 12, Scripps detailed its coverage plans for America’s 250th Anniversary, which includes a 60-minute special commemorating the country’s July 4 birthday.
