Car Lot Cowboy is a series produced by Electus and 5×5 Media in association with Vem’s Sweatshop Media. The series, slated to air on Spike TV in April 2012, follows “legendary” car salesman Tom Stuker.
Flip Men is a half-hour unscripted series created and executive produced by Dave Broome (The Biggest Loser) and 25/7 Productions, and premiered on Spike in October 2011.
American Digger, meanwhile, was created and executive produced by Gurney Productions (Auction Hunters) and is a new series slated to air on Spike in March. The series follows former wrestler Ric Savage as he and his team search various battlefields and historic sites for artefacts.
“The Spike TV brand has always been synonymous with smart, inventive content which has quickly become a sought-after commodity in the international marketplace,” said Pollak. “With amazing characters and internationally relatable environments, we know that these series will resonate with a global audience.”
