SPIN OFF-OF SCRIPPS NETWORKS INTERACTIVE, INC.

15. SPIN-OFF OF SCRIPPS NETWORKS INTERACTIVE, INC.

On July 1, 2008, we distributed all of the shares of Scripps Networks Interactive, Inc. (“SNI”) to shareholders of record as of the close of business on June 16, 2008. SNI owned and operated our national lifestyle cable television networks and interactive media businesses.

SNI reimbursed us $6 million in the first nine months of 2010 for its share of estimated taxes prior to the spin-off under the Tax Allocation Agreement.

At September 30, 2011, and December 31, 2010, we owed SNI $7.3 million and $7.5 million, respectively for its share of tax refund claims for prior years. We will pay SNI its share of the tax refund claims when we receive such refunds from the tax authorities.
