Scout Media was an integrated sports publishing company that produced Internet content covering hundreds of professional and college teams across America.[1] The company was founded in 2001 and was acquired by Fox Sports in 2005.[2] In 2013, Fox Sports sold Scout to North American Membership Group which later rebranded to Scout Media.[3] Scout filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in December 2016 and was then acquired by CBS Corporation (now Paramount Global) in February 2017 for $9.5 million after submitting the only bid for the bankrupt company.[2] Paramount later folded Scout into 247Sports, with Scout.com redirecting to the site.[4]
