uSwitch Acquired by E.W. Scripps

The E.W. Scripps Co. has expanded its online footprint with a $366 million acquisition of U.K. vertical search site uSwitch.

Consumers can use the comparison shopping engine to compare rates and sign up with providers of gas, electricity, home phone, digital television, broadband, credit cards, and secured and unsecured personal loans.

USwitch is most similar to the LowerMyBills.com service in the U.S., which was acquired by Experian Interactive last year for $380 million.
