E.W. Scripps is ending its 24/7 national network programming for Scripps News, leading to over 200 job cuts. The network will continue on streaming and digital platforms. President Kate O’Brian will leave by year-end.
The decision to wind down the 24/7 national network programming and cut over 200 jobs is likely to have a negative short-term impact on SSP's stock price due to potential restructuring costs and market perception of downsizing. However, the continuation on digital platforms may mitigate some negative effects.
