Spike TV Takes a First-Hand Look at One of the Most Dangerous Jobs in
the World with the Drug Enforcement Administration

Six One-Hour Episodes of New Unscripted Original Series 'DEA' Set to
Premiere on Spike TV This Spring Produced by Al Roker Entertainment,
Inc.

Spike TV has ordered six one-hour episodes of the new original
narrative series "DEA" which offers viewers a never-before-seen look
at the inner workings of the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA).
Produced by Al Roker Entertainment, Inc. in association with Size 12
Productions, "DEA" is slated to premiere on Spike TV in Spring 2008.

"Television viewers will get the same unprecedented access to the
inner workings of the DEA as our camera crews -- the raids, the risk
and the danger," said Al Roker, executive producer. "This series is
the real deal, exposing elements of the illegal drug trade that you
could not imagine. When you watch DEA, you will feel like you have
gone undercover."

Spike TV was given exclusive access to follow a group of Special
Agents and Task Force Officers in the DEA Detroit division as they
risked their lives daily in the ongoing battle against illegal drugs.
The series follows Special Agents as they work cases ranging from
street level dealers all the way up to international drug traffickers.

"DEA" underscores the danger Special Agents experience on a daily
basis in order to do their jobs. Viewers will witness first-hand what
it is like for Special Agents to go out on undercover missions and
pose as drug dealers. Spike TV is there when the DEA busts down doors
as Special Agents execute drug raids that put their lives directly in
the line of fire. The series also takes a look at the complex
relationship that DEA Special Agents have with informants, revealing
the strange kinship they share with these criminals who see
themselves not as arch enemies, but rather as opponents in "the game"
of the illegal drug trade.

"This job is a calling. We love what we do and you can see that on
the show through the dedication and excitement of these agents," said
Special Agent Mary Irene Cooper, DEA's Chief of Congressional and
Public Affairs. "Nothing else I've seen captures the day-to-day
experiences of drug law enforcement work like this series. You see
the thrills, you see the anticipation, you see the chase, you see the
reality. Most importantly you see the DEA agents for what they really
are, a close-knit team dedicated to an important mission at any cost,
trusting each other with their lives."

"DEA" is produced for Spike TV by Al Roker Entertainment, Inc. and
Size 12 Productions. Executive producers for the series are Al Roker
for Al Roker Entertainment and Russell Muth and Hank Capshaw for Size
12 Productions. Supervising Producer for Al Roker Entertainment is
Michael Kaufman. Tim Duffy is Spike TV's executive in charge of
production.
