participating retailers. Shopzilla aggregates and organizes information on more than 30 million products from 55,000 retailers. Shopzilla also operates BizRate, a popular Web-based consumer feedback network with about 1 million consumer reviews of
stores and products added each month. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Consideration paid for the transaction

borrowings. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">A copy of the press release is filed as Exhibit 99.01. </FONT></P>

Form S-3 of The E.W. Scripps Company filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on October 7, 2002 (file number 333-100390). The issuance of the Notes reduced our remaining availability under the shelf registration to $300 million.

of principal and interest thereon (not including any portion of those payments of interest accrued as of the date of redemption) discounted to the date of redemption on a semi-annual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months)
