Talk:E. W. Scripps Company

Trivia
So what is up with the repeated editing and re-editing of the history of WMC-TV in Memphis? The tone on the original statement ("Did you know ... It's true.") is completely inappropriate for an encyclopedic entry. I'd rewrite the section into something more in line with the rest of the article, but having seen another user edit it back into triviaspeak once before makes me cautious of changing it again.
 * Agreed. I've removed the wording. --Tysto 03:36, 4 April 2006 (UTC)

Bias
Is it just me or does it seem like an advertisement when talking about interactive tv and cable stations? Sainter (talk) 16:21, 9 May 2008 (UTC)
 * It seems so. The neutrality in the point of view of the article seems to be not so neutral. 200.51.96.131 (talk) 18:12, 25 June 2008 (UTC)

What about Stuart, Florida?
How can the Stuart papers be Scripps' oldest if they date from the mid 1960's? The company has owned the News-Sentinel in Knoxville, Tennessee far longer than this. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.246.142.16 (talk) 03:03, 20 June 2011 (UTC)

Cable Television Systems
Didn't Scripps also own a bunch of cable television systems in the United States? Shouldn't that be included also? TheGoofyGolfer (talk) 01:10, 18 February 2012 (UTC)

WHTV in Lansing, MI is defunct
Please update the tables as WHTV in Lansing MI is no longer on the air. Steelbeard1 (talk) 00:30, 1 May 2018 (UTC)

Stock lookup is broken
SSP is traded on the NASDAQ Global Select market, not the NYSE.

Since the actual link is generated by the infobox, this may be a larger issue than just this one article. The stock symbols are now prepended with a market ID.
