CINCINNATI, July 19,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- The E.W. Scripps Company
(NASDAQ: SSP) has not been significantly affected by the global IT
outage that struck overnight. Scripps operates more than 40 local
news operations as well as national networks ION and Scripps News,
which was only off air for 10 minutes. Scripps was impacted by the
outage, but the majority of its local stations' broadcast
operations were not interrupted, and none went off the air
completely. By 8 a.m. EDT, nearly all
were able to air local news, and all were broadcasting news by
noon. The company's ability to recover quickly and the timing of
the incident overnight prevented Scripps' advertising revenue from
being significantly affected.
