The E.W. Scripps Company, publicly owned and headquartered in Cincinnati, Ohio, US, was founded in 1878 by Edward Willis "E. W." Scripps and his sister, Ellen Browning Scripps. Initially established as a chain of daily newspapers and formerly operating as a media conglomerate, the company now functions as an American broadcasting company specializing in media production. It employs approximately 5,960 individuals and reported $2.5B in revenue as of 2024.
On February 18, 2026, E.W. Scripps Co. appointed Oliver Gray vice president network sports and client partnerships, tasking him with leading efforts to connect national advertisers with Scripps’ platforms, including its growing sports portfolio. This appointment follows the company's recent unveiling of an enterprise-wide transformation plan, which came after rejecting a $538 million takeover bid from a rival. Earlier, on February 11, Scripps launched this comprehensive plan, designed to improve operating performance and unlock new value. The company aims for annualized enterprise EBITDA growth of $125 million to $150 million by 2028, intending to achieve this through cost savings and revenue growth initiatives that will leverage technology, including AI and automation. As part of this strategy, the company, which operates over 60 local TV stations, anticipates layoffs in the near future.
