Scripps completes station swap with Gray Media across five markets

Neutral Impact 3 of 5 m&a Written later

The E.W. Scripps Company closed its previously announced station swap with Gray Media on May 15, 2026. Scripps acquired four stations in Colorado and Idaho, and Gray acquired two stations in Michigan and Louisiana. The filing says the exchange was even, with no cash paid by either company, and it does not disclose a dollar value.

Key points

  • Closed May 15, 2026; the swap was first announced in July 2025.
  • Scripps acquired KKTV (CBS) in Colorado Springs, KKCO (NBC) and KJCT-LP (ABC) in Grand Junction, and KMVT (CBS) and KSVT-LD (Fox) in Twin Falls.
  • Gray acquired WSYM (Fox) in Lansing, Michigan, and KATC (ABC) in Lafayette, Louisiana.
  • Neither company paid cash consideration, and the filing gives no dollar value for the assets exchanged.
