VH1 kicked off their now-canceled "Confidential" series with a segment on the Kurt Cobain murder theory. Interviewed in the piece were Ian Halperin and Max Wallace, authors of Who Killed Kurt Cobain?, and a medical examiner who tried to debunk them. A decent segment on the case. While not on the official VH1 lineup anymore, they still run them every now and then.

 Maury Povich Show
July 1998
The authors of "Who Killed Kurt Cobain?", Max Wallace and Ian Halperin appeared on the Maury Povich show to discuss the investigation. Also on the show was Hank Harrison, Courtney's father. I'm told this was a very serious look into the theories, with a lot of young people in the audience. I hope to have streaming video or a transcript up here soon.
