CINCINNATI (AP) - E.W. Scripps Co. board has approved management's plan to separate the media company into two public companies, effective July 1.

One company, Scripps Networks Interactive, will include the cable networks and online comparison shopping sites Shopzilla and uSwitch. The other, E.W.

Scripps, will have 10 broadcast television stations and newspapers in 15 U.S.

markets.
