From Mediaite:
Host Alex Jones signed off his final InfoWars broadcast on Thursday night after 27 years with a defiant vow to return even as a long-running legal battle over his media properties edges toward the courts’ final say. The shutdown comes as a dispute over the future of InfoWars moves through the courts, with satirical outlet The Onion seeking to take control of the brand that was liquidated in efforts to compensate families of the Sandy Hook school shooting victims, who won more than $1.3 billion in defamation judgments against Jones.
A Texas appeals court this week granted Jones a temporary reprieve, delaying any immediate takeover and pushing the fight toward the state’s supreme court. Meanwhile, a court-appointed receiver overseeing Jones’s assets has ceased covering operational costs, forcing the closure of the Austin studio.
