"The guys featured on 'Bar Rescue' and 'Repo Games' share that same authentic, real-life persona that will resonate with Spike's expanding audience," noted Levy. "We are thrilled to partner with the incredibly creative production teams that developed 'The Jersey Shore' and 'The Biggest Loser' to bring these unique concepts to life."

In Spike TV's new series, "Bar Rescue," Jon Taffer, one of the country's top restaurant and bar consultants, will give failing establishments one last chance to succeed. The show will delve into every business facet of running a bar from creating a profitable drink/food menu to crowd management to music selection to managing disgruntled employees. This marks the first food/beverage-themed show for Spike TV, furthering its effort to expand and broaden its audience.
