Breaking: Last-Minute Switch-Up in Scripps' Earnings Call - What's Behind the Sudden Change?

CINCINNATI, Nov. 4, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- In a sudden turn of events, The E.W. Scripps Company (NASDAQ: SSP) has announced a last-minute change in its third-quarter 2024 operating results call, which was initially scheduled to take place earlier today. According to the company, the decision to postpone and change the call time was made due to an unforeseen technical issue with its conference line provider's systems.

The original time for the earnings call is no longer valid, as the company's conference line provider experienced a sudden outage. The new time for the call has been set at 10 a.m. Eastern time today, Monday, Nov. 4. Despite the change, Scripps is ensuring that all interested parties can still access the call and its live webcast.

Those who were planning to join the call via phone will need to adjust their schedules accordingly and dial in at the new time. To accommodate those who may have missed the initial announcement or those who are unable to join via phone, Scripps has arranged for a live webcast to take place simultaneously with the call.

Investors and analysts who were expecting to receive updates on Scripps' third-quarter performance will still have access to the same information, albeit at a later time. The company has expressed its apologies for any inconvenience caused by the unexpected change and is working to minimize disruptions.

As the media landscape continues to evolve, companies like Scripps are making efforts to adapt to these changes. The unscheduled change in today's earnings call highlights the importance of being prepared for unexpected situations and having contingency plans in place.

Those interested in listening to the live webcast can do so by visiting the Scripps website. A recording of the webcast will also be available for a limited time following the conclusion of the call.
