Scripps says not looking to sell Shopzilla

NEW YORK (Reuters) - Newspaper publisher and broadcaster E.W. Scripps Co said on Wednesday it does not plan to sell its comparison shopping Web site Shopzilla, refuting a report on a media blog.

"Shopzilla is not for sale," a company spokesman said.

Media blog Silicon Alley Insider said late on Tuesday that Scripps was trying to sell Shopzilla for between $500 million and $600 million.
