Scripps Networks Interactive will control the joint venture and the network will be run as part of the company's growing portfolio of popular lifestyle media brands. This concludes an exploratory process that Cox began with their exclusive advisors Goldman, Sachs & Co. in June.
nder the terms of the agreement which is effective today and anticipated to close over the next few months, Cox will maintain a 35 percent stake in Travel Channel Media while Scripps will have a 65 percent interest. Cox will contribute the Travel Channel and Scripps Networks Interactive will contribute $181 million in cash to a newly created partnership. The partnership, in turn, will take on $878 million in third-party debt that will be guaranteed by Scripps and indemnified by Cox, with the proceeds to be distributed to Cox.
