Local TV broadcaster and national news network with 60+ stations across 40+ U.S. markets
Scripps operates one of the nation's largest local TV broadcast networks (60+ stations, 40+ markets) plus national news and entertainment streaming services. The hiring acceleration is concentrated in media production, news, and sales—reflecting continued station operation and content output—while security projects (monitoring, enterprise architecture, disaster recovery) signal an organizational shift from reactive to proactive cybersecurity posture. Engineering footprint remains small, suggesting reliance on vendor platforms and in-house media production tooling rather than software-centric infrastructure.
Notable leadership hires: Assistant News Director, Director of Sales, Broadcast Director
