After nearly three decades of non-stop broadcasts and controversial headlines, the studio lights have officially gone dark at InfoWars.
In a dramatic conclusion to a years-long legal battle, Alex Jones aired his final episode of the network this week.
While the host promised a grand finale packed with conspiracy theories, the broadcast ultimately ended with a familiar loop of commercials, marking an unceremonious finish for one of the most polarizing platforms in independent media history.
The downfall of InfoWars began with the catastrophic Sandy Hook defamation lawsuits.
After Jones spent years baselessly claiming the 2012 elementary school massacre was a hoax, families of the victims successfully sued for damages.
A court eventually ordered Jones to pay over $1 billion in judgments, triggering a bankruptcy process that effectively dismantled his media empire.
Legal drama continued until the very last second.
While the satirical news outlet The Onion had previously reached a deal to acquire InfoWars with plans to transform the site into a parody of its former self that transition has hit major legal roadblocks.
Just days before the final sign-off, a Texas appeals court issued an emergency order pausing the transfer of assets, leaving the future of the InfoWars brand in total limbo.
Alex Jones has spent his final days on air attacking The Onion and claiming the legal system is biased against him.
Despite the network shutting down, Jones insists he will continue to host an unaffiliated show on his own personal channels.
However, the media giant he built from the ground up starting in 1999 is officially gone, serving as a landmark moment in the ongoing fight between independent speech and legal accountability.
