America's Most Wanted

*America's Most Wanted* is an American television program produced by 20th Television and was the longest-running program of any kind in the history of the Fox Television Network until its cancellation was announced on May 16, 2011, after twenty-three years. The final episode aired on June 18, 2011. In September 2011, host John Walsh announced that the program would resume on the cable network Lifetime later that year. Hosted by Walsh, the show's purpose is to profile and assist law enforcement in the apprehension of fugitives wanted for various crimes, including murder, rape, kidnapping, child molestation, white-collar crime, organized crime, armed robbery, gang violence, and terrorism. Many of these fugitives are also on the FBI Ten Most Wanted Fugitives list. On May 2, 2008, the program's website announced its 1,000th capture; as of March 30, 2013, 1,202 people had been captured because of *America's Most Wanted*. Many of the series' cases have some connection outside the United States or have not taken place in the United States at all. The series' first international capture occurred in Nova Scotia in 1989. The show's format does not allow for repeats, except for updates on convicted criminals, and it is preempted a maximum of eight times per year. However, if a fugitive featured on the show is not captured, their profile may be aired again. Since moving to Lifetime, the show has aired several repeats, often with updates if the fugitive or missing person was captured or recovered.
