Ion Media Networks, Inc. (doing business as Ion Media) is an American company owned by the Scripps Networks division of The E.W. Scripps Company that operates the linear broadcasting networks Ion Television, Ion Mystery and Ion Plus. Formerly known as Paxson Communications Corporation and Ion Media Networks, it emerged from bankruptcy in 2009 and was later sold to E. W. Scripps Company. It once owned over 71 television stations in most of the major American markets through a television station group, as well as operating Qubo and Ion Shop. Upon being acquired by Scripps, it merged with its subsidiary Katz Broadcasting on January 7, 2021, creating Scripps Networks. This new division was formed to manage those assets separately from the traditional broadcast network-affiliated television stations.
