    To what end? Just to keep someone else from buying it and reviving it? Maybe hiring Alex back? Seems like an awfully big cost that just helps Alex pay his bills. And he will almost definitely be replatformed by someone anyway. Let some right wing knob dump their cash on the psycho and put your money to better use.

      I think the goal would be to get rid of Alex Jones’ show. IDK the legal details but it’s possible that copyright issues could keep Alex Jones from spinning up a copycat show without having his contract with the company formally severed. I’m also guessing whoever owns the company would have the power to sever the connections to whatever terrestrial radio stations still carry his program.
