Alex Jones Is Back in the Old InfoWars Studio — and Says The Onion Never Got In
After an appeals court slashed Sandy Hook punitive damages from about $45.2 million to $1.5 million, Jones returns to the Austin studio where he broadcast for 15 years.
Alex Jones is broadcasting from home again.
On Sept. 24, Jones announced that The Alex Jones Show would once again air from the Austin studio that served for more than 15 years as InfoWars’s main broadcast home. “This studio was the center of what we built for many years,” he said in a press release. “To be able to walk back in, turn the cameras on and continue broadcasting from here means a lot to me and to the people who have supported this show.”
The return came about a month after a major win in court. On Aug. 21, the Texas Third Court of Appeals affirmed most of the underlying Sandy Hook judgment but cut the exemplary damages from about $45.2 million to $1.5 million — $750,000 for each plaintiff — under the Texas statutory cap. That reduced the overall Texas judgment from about $50 million to about $5.5 million, according to the release. The ruling does not affect the separate Connecticut judgment.
The comeback is not a restoration of the old company. The release says the move “does not represent a restoration of Free Speech Systems or the former InfoWars corporate structure,” but the start of a new organization Jones has joined, built around his show, with e-commerce, sponsorships and new distribution channels meant to reduce dependence on any single tech platform. “This isn’t about recreating what existed before,” Jones said. “We’re building something new.”
When outlets reported that The Onion had taken over the building, Jones went on camera. In an Oct. 2 video posted to X, he toured the original studios to challenge “MSM reports” that “the Bloomberg-backed Onion had taken over his studio.” The Onion’s parent company won a 2024 bankruptcy auction for InfoWars assets, but a federal bankruptcy judge rejected that sale; The Onion has since run parody content under the InfoWars name while disputes over the assets continue.
Jones says the show will expand into faith, family, health and financial independence. “America doesn’t just have a political problem,” he said. “America has a spiritual problem.”
“I’ve been doing this for more than 30 years,” he added. “I’m still here, I’m still broadcasting and we’re building for the future.”
