Milwaukee Radio: WTMJ To Air 'Murder' Special


WTMJ 620 AM is getting into the Steven Avery business with a two-hour special broadcast Saturday night called "Beyond Making a Murderer."

The show will air at 7 p.m. Saturday and repeating at 11 a.m. Sunday. Click Here to listen.

The Netflix series about the Steven Avery case, "Making a Murderer," has become an international sensation, but has it succeeded in bringing the whole truth about the murder case of Teresa Halbach?

Perhaps not, in the eyes of one of the men who covered it.

WTMJ's host of "Wisconsin's Afternoon News," John Mercure, covered the trial as a reporter for TODAY'S TMJ4.

He shares his belief that perhaps there's much more to the case than what the producers of the series are presenting.

The Avery case — in which Steven Avery, who was released after spending 18 years in prison for a crime he didn't commit, was convicted in the 2005 murder of photographer Teresa Halbach in Manitowoc — has received renewed focus with the release on Netflix of "Making a Murderer," a 10-part documentary series that has been a hot topic since it began streaming in mid-December.



In a statement from the station, WTMJ Program Manager Eric Brooks said the radio station is "working to go beyond the documentary to talk with the people involved in the case and give our audience updated information."
