E.W. Scripps Company, publicly owned and headquartered in the US, was founded in 1878. It operates with approximately 5960 employees and reported $2.2B in revenue as of 2025. The company specializes in media production, functioning as an American broadcasting company. It was originally established as a chain of daily newspapers by Edward Willis "E. W." Scripps and his sister, Ellen Browning Scripps, and was formerly a media conglomerate, with its corporate headquarters located at the Scripps Center in Cincinnati, Ohio.
A dispute between Comcast/Xfinity and E.W. Scripps Company led to the removal of local channels, including WTXL, from the Tallahassee cable television lineup on April 3, 2026, following the expiration of Xfinity's contract with Scripps on March 31. Previously, on April 2, Metro Detroit viewers also experienced a blackout of Scripps-owned WXYZ-TV Channel 7 and WYMD-TV Channel 20 on Xfinity. Earlier on April 2, Scripps completed the sale of WRTV, its ABC-affiliated station in Indianapolis, to Circle City Broadcasting for $83 million. This divestiture followed Scripps’ recent sale of WFTX in Fort Myers, Florida, to Sun Broadcasting for $40 million. Also on April 2, Xfinity dropped ABC affiliate Denver7 and other Scripps-owned channels after their contract expired, with Comcast stating that Scripps' demands would have significantly raised TV prices for subscribers. The ongoing contract dispute between Comcast Xfinity and Scripps also involved regional NHL programming as of April 1.
