America's Most Wanted...Say it ain't so
For over 20 years, the Fox Network aired America's Most Wanted every Saturday evening. John Walsh's show and reputation earned him the respect and admiration of law enforcement officers and agencies everywhere.
His weekly show highlighted some of America's worst criminal offenders that were wanted by local, state and federal agencies. Without the help of AMW airing details of many of the open criminal cases and law breakers, then over 1100 of society's dregs, (ie; child molesters, murderers, rapists, etc.), would not have been apprehended.
In May of this year, the Fox Network announced that it would not be renewing the contract for any further shows, citing the expense of production costs. Never mind that millions tuned in each week and that AMW once saved the floundering network from extinction. Such loyalty is touching.
Several weeks after this announcement, the Lifetime Channel approached John Walsh and negotiations began. The announcement was made official last week. The 25th year of America's Most Wanted is expected to return by the end of the year thanks to the courtesy of the Lifetime Channel.
On a positive coincidence.... yesterday, the Academy of Television Arts and Sciences gave Walsh its Governor's Award, which is awarded to a person or organization that makes a substantial impact or demonstrates an extraordinary use of television.
An Emmy Award. Certainly a long time coming.
Thank you, John Walsh... and welcome back!
