Alex Jones Signs-Off InfoWars, Vows to Return


Alex Jones signed off from Infowars on Thursday night after nearly three decades on air, but immediately vowed to continue his broadcasts on a new platform.

In a defiant final episode from the Austin studio, Jones told viewers the power would be cut at midnight and framed the shutdown not as an end, but as the start of a renewed fight. He directed his audience to AlexJonesLive.com and a companion app, which he said were already operational, along with plans for a new studio.

“We’ve only just begun to fight,” Jones declared, urging followers to join him on the new venture while promoting merchandise, supplements, and donations. Less than a day later, he relaunched under the Alex Jones Network banner.




Legal Battle Driving the ShutdownThe closure stems from long-running efforts to liquidate Infowars and its parent company, Free Speech Systems, to satisfy more than $1.3 billion in defamation judgments awarded to families of the 2012 Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting victims. Jones repeatedly called the massacre a hoax on his show, leading to harassment of the families.

A court-appointed receiver had been overseeing operations to sell assets. Satirical outlet The Onion reached a deal to license the Infowars brand and turn it into a parody platform, but a Texas appeals court granted Jones a temporary reprieve this week. The ruling paused any immediate takeover, pushed the matter toward further review (with a hearing set for May 28), and sent aspects to the Texas Supreme Court.

Jones has described the legal proceedings as working in his favor, claiming they provided time to prepare the new operation. His personal X account, with 4.5 million followers, remains active and unaffected.

The Infowars’ website went “Off Air” shortly after the final broadcast. Jones had pre-positioned websites, an app, and merchandise sales channels ahead of the transition. He has emphasized continuity, framing the move as resistance against what he calls censorship and “globalists.”

The Sandy Hook families and their supporters back The Onion’s involvement as a way to repurpose the platform and advance compensation efforts.
