The company that owns The Onion and one that advertised it sold products on Infowars. Presumably the latter would have put Jones back on the air.

From what I've read, The Onion/Sandy Hook families bid was lower than the 3.5M offered by the other party, but the trustee felt their offer was the best overall deal. It included things other than money, can't recall what though.
