Explanation of Responses:

1. On December 11, 2019, the reporting person exchanged assets of equal value for 66,785 Class A Common Shares, which were valued based on the average of the high and low market price of the Class A Common Shares on such date, with a grantor-retained annuity trust ("GRAT") of which the reporting person is trustee. As a result, these Class A Common Shares are again directly owned by the reporting person.

2. On December 11, 2019, the reporting person exchanged assets of equal value for 118,921 Common Voting Shares, which were valued based on the average of the high and low market price of the Class A Common Shares on such date, with a GRAT of which the reporting person is trustee. As a result, these Common Voting Shares are again directly owned by the reporting person.

3. 96,412 of these shares were previously reported as indirectly beneficially owned through a GRAT of which the reporting person is trustee, but such shares were delivered back to the reporting person on May 16, 2019 in satisfaction of the GRAT's annuity obligations. As a result, these Common Voting Shares are again directly owned by the reporting person.

Remarks:

The reporting person may be deemed to have shared voting power with respect to more than 10% of the Class A Common Shares of the Issuer (due solely to the convertibility of Common Voting Shares of the Company into Class A Common Shares on a share-for-share basis) due to the voting provisions of the Amended and Restated Scripps Family Agreement dated May 19, 2015, as amended on March 29, 2017, to which the reporting person is a party. The reporting person filed a Schedule 13D with the Commission on January 24, 2013, as last amended on January 11, 2019.
