Spike to Explore Inner Workings of DEA

DETROIT, January 10: Spike TV has ordered six one-hour episodes
of a new series from Al Roker Entertainment that takes viewers inside the Drug
Enforcement Administration (DEA).

DEA is being produced
by Al Roker Entertainment in association with Size 12 Productions and is slated
to premiere on Spike TV this spring. “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, the 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 work cases ranging from street level dealers all the
way up to international drug traffickers.

Recent Al Roker productions
include An Honor Deferred (History
Channel), 2007 Reader’s Digest National Word Power Challenge (NBC), Recipe for Success (Food Network), Uncovered: The Hidden
Lives of Miss USA (E!) and Meth,
Murder & Madness (Court TV).
