FCC Form 702 Scripps Media, Inc. Exhibit 1 Assignee’s Relation to Assignor This application requests Commission consent to the pro forma assignment of the FCC license (the “License”) for Experimental Station WG2XIX (the “Station”) currently held by Scripps Media, Inc. (“SMI”). Under the current ownership structure, The E.W. Scripps Company (“EWS”) is the controlling parent of SMI. The proposed transaction is a pro forma internal corporate restructuring pursuant to which the License will be assigned from SMI to Scripps Broadcasting Holdings LLC (“SBH LLC), a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of SMI, and an indirect subsidiary of EWS. The restructuring and license assignment will be accomplished through a series of internal mergers and transfers of interests by and between EWS subsidiaries. The proposed transaction involves no substantial change in the beneficial ownership of the Station. Following consummation of the license assignment, EWS will continue to own and control the Station through its wholly-owned subsidiary SMI. Corporate ownership charts reflecting the pre and post-assignment ownership structure are attached. This license assignment is pro forma in nature because the transaction will result in no change to the identity of the ultimate controlling entity, and will have no effect on the day-to-day operation of the Station. Accordingly, grant of this application will service the public interest by enabling continued operation of the Station.
