Scripps and ABC Renew Affiliation Agreement

The E.W. Scripps Company SSP has entered into an agreement with the ABC television network to extend the affiliation of six Scripps stations with ABC through Jan. 31, 2015. The new agreement includes a license fee paid by Scripps to ABC for the network's programming. Since the expiration of the affiliation agreement on January 31, the company has been accruing network programming expenses at a rate that is consistent with the new agreement.
