Scripps Company and its networks merged into Katz Broadcasting in a deal that closed on January 7, 2021, with Ion's stations either absorbed into Scripps' portfolio or sold to Inyo Broadcast Holdings.[2]
The following list does not include existing Scripps stations that have taken Ion Television as a subchannel affiliation.
