  ORIGINAL SERIES PREMIERES

   -- THE KILL POINT - SERIES PREMIERE
      Premieres Sunday, July 22 (9:00 - 11:00 PM, ET/PT); Encores Sunday,
      July 22 (11:00 PM - 1:00 AM, ET/PT) & Wednesday, July 25 (10:00 PM -

      Emmy(R)Award-winning actor and Golden Globe nominee John Leguizamo and
      Donnie Wahlberg star in Spike TV's new original scripted series, THE
      KILL POINT, an eight-hour event focusing on two men as they square off
      during a bank heist gone horribly wrong and the hostage negotiations
      that ensue.

      John Leguizamo is "Mr. Wolf," the leader of a small group of military
      veterans who set out to rob a major bank in Pittsburgh.  When things
      go awry, they're forced to take more than a dozen hostages from all
      walks of life, including a wealthy and powerful businessman's
      daughter. Suddenly, "Mr. Wolf" finds himself battling the police, the
      hostages and members of his own team while at the same time, fighting
      his own personal demons from the Iraq war and from his own war at
      home. Will he be sharp enough to hold it all together or lose control
      of the situation? And will he find redemption before it's too late --
      and does he even care to? On the opposite side of the perimeter is
      "Horst Cali," the Pittsburgh Police Department Hostage Negotiator,
      played by Donnie Wahlberg, who must go toe-to-toe with "Mr. Wolf."
      "Cali" must use his wit and negotiating skills, while managing his own
      personal issues, to manipulate the situation and convince Wolf to free
      the hostages before the FBI takes control, or worse.

      With time of the essence and the uncertainty of the unfolding events,
      both men need to remain resourceful and collected or risk losing
      lives. THE KILL POINT reveals how the hostage takers leverage their
      situation and how the negotiator tries to unravel their plans. Which
      man will blink? Who will outsmart the other? Who will survive? It's a
      dangerous game of chess played out with human lives at stake.

   -- MURDER - SERIES PREMIERE
      Premieres Tuesday, July 31 (10:00 - 11:00 PM, ET/PT); Encore Tuesday,
      July 31 (11:00 PM - Midnight, ET/PT).

      Following in the dramatic tradition of "CSI" and "Law and Order,"
      "Murder" is an unscripted series in which amateur sleuths try to
      correctly solve a real homicide pulled directly from police files.

      Each episode of "Murder" begins with series host, 20-year Arlington,
      TX law enforcement veteran with multiple capital murder convictions,
      Detective Tommy Le Noir escorting two groups of civilians into an
      exact replica crime scene pulled from the files of an existing
      homicide case. The original crime scenes are re-created down to the
      very last detail, so that teams experience exactly what the original
      detectives encountered when they first entered the crime scene and
      began their investigation. Every pertinent detail available to the
      original detectives has been recreated and is available to the teams,
      who have the opportunity to assess the crime scene and collect
      evidence. Our real-life homicide detective also reveals a list of
      potential suspects, along with their backgrounds and alibis. The teams
      also meet with a coroner who reviews the findings of the original
      autopsy report.

      The contestants are given 48 hours to complete their investigation,
      collect and catalogue their evidence and use their own smarts and
      instincts to find the murderer.  Each group makes a dynamic visual
      presentation with its findings to Detective Le Noir. After the
      presentations, Detective Le Noir presents what actually happened at
      the crime scene and reveals which group came to the correct case
      conclusion. Each week, the group that made the correct, or more
      compelling case, will have a donation made in their names to a
      selected victim's charity.

        the hospital and near death experiences, THE DUDESONS continue to
        perform the craziest and most dangerous stunts imaginable. From
        perilous car and motorcycle jumps to indoor bonfires to being a
        human dartboard, life holds no limits and there are no rules in
        these inventive comedic skits.
