Broadcast

edit

The third episode of Murder Uncovered, titled "Two Weddings and 29 Funerals", was scheduled to be aired on 22 February 2017, but was indefinitely pulled for legal reasons. The timeslot intended for the episode was instead used to broadcast a short message by Michael Usher explaining the schedule change, followed by an episode of Bride & Prejudice.[3] It was later rescheduled to air on 20 March,[4] but was rescheduled again to air on Monday, 27 March.[5] The reason for the broadcast block was reported by Fairfax Media to be due to a judge in the Victorian Supreme Court requesting the Seven Network to co-operate for fear it might prejudice jurors in the then-ongoing trial of Stephen Asling, charged with murdering Graham "The Munster" Kinniburgh in 2003.[6][7]
