Some of this, at least, has to do with John Walsh, who is no spring chicken anymore.
Most of it, of course, has to do with ratings.

I think John's biggest accomplishment was in helping establish the Center for Missing and Exploited Children. Back in the day his son was kidnapped and killed, it was easier to find a stolen car than it was a lost child.

I just read that Fox couldn't justify the expense of doing a new show 48 weeks a year on Saturday nights- the lowest watched night of the week. Yes AMW was top in its time slot, but that time slot was horrible and the show would't've fared better at any other time slot.
They will still do 4 to 6 two hour specials each year...and remember, it was canceled 15 years ago and was brought back a few months later.

Yeah, there was an outcry by Governors, Mayors & police chiefs about the importance of the show. Doesn't seem to be happening this time.  |

I believe this show was picked up by Lifetime, and is now in it's final season. They have said they will use John Walsh in a different capacity but have not said what that will be.
