The board authorized management in October to pursue the separation. The company said Friday that completion of the transaction still needs government regulatory approval.

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.
