Hannity Hosts New Season of “Wanted: Dead or Alive”
Sean Hannity is hosting a new season of his historical drama series, “Wanted: Dead or Alive,” for FOX Nation. The series premieres tomorrow (7/16) tackling the stories of the infamous John Dillinger, Bonnie and Clyde, Baby Face Nelson, and Ma Barker. FOX Nation says, “A continuation of his 2024 FOX Nation series, ‘Outlaws and Lawmen,’ Hannity will transport viewers back to The Great Depression as it devastated the nation, and the fast times and easy money of the roaring ‘20s became a faded memory. With bank foreclosures and millions out of work, a new brand of outlaw was born. They rob banks, pull off daring kidnappings and shoot their way into American folklore and one by one, enter the crosshairs of J. Edgar Hoover and the FBI. Each episode will feature a single character or duo’s story in a journey that re-imagines this volatile era.” Hannity comments, “In the shadows of the Great Depression, outlaws cemented their names into history as America’s most wanted. I’m thrilled to further this series and share the stories that ultimately defined a generation.”

How obsolete does this sound? “Newsweek magazine.” News, gathered during most-of the week, had to be frozen by week’s-end, on deadline, to roll the presses in time for hard copy to be delivered in Monday’s snail mail. Back then – picture people dressed like “Mad Men” characters – enough subscribers felt informed-enough to deliver Return On Investment for the magazine’s advertisers. Seems antique. Now, news is reported moment-to-moment, on any device. And newsweek.com is there… along with everyone else competing for attention.

Today’s action is just the latest step the FCC is taking to follow the Trump Administration’s effort to usher in prosperity through deregulation. And it’s just one of many, with more on the horizon, so stay tuned.”
business as CEO upon successful acquisition.” While both parties were doing due diligence on the CMG deal, Warshaw learned that an Audacy majority stake holder was willing to sell its stake in the company. Warshaw says he steered SFM and Del Nin to the deal that made SFM a majority stake holder of the new Audacy in early 2024. Warshaw alleges he was promised he’d be the next CEO of Audacy or that he would get 5% of SFM’s profits from the Audacy acquisition. After that though, Warshaw says Del Nin balked and denied there was ever an agreement, calling any such claims “fabricated.” Now, Soros and Del Nin filed both a Motion to Dismiss saying the “Court lacks personal jurisdiction over Mr. Del Nin under Connecticut’s long-arm statute”; and a Motion to Revise that asks Warshaw to revise his complaint with specific details about his contracts – written or verbal – that he claims were breached, and more. In the Motion to Revise, Soros and Del Nin imply that Warshaw doesn’t have the contractual proof necessary to support his claim.
