DEADLIEST CATCH Returns for Landmark 15th Season on 4/9 on Discovery
Welcome to Dutch Harbor, Alaska - a maverick town that has had its share of upheaval over the years. But this year, something is different in the air.

History Announces Three Hour Live Event EVEL LIVE Premiering 7/8 as Part of Network's Second Annual Car Week
HISTORY announces 'Evel Live,' an unprecedented three-hour live event premiering Sunday, July 8 at 8PM ET as part of the network's second annual car week. During 'Evel Live,' American professional motorsports icon Travis Pastrana will honor legendary daredevil Evel Knievel by attempting three of his most dangerous feats in Las Vegas, Nevada, all while riding a modern day recreation inspired by the motorcycle Knievel used. These include: breaking Knievel's record jump over 50 cars, another record-breaking jump over 14 full size buses, and aiming to make history as the first person to successfully jump the Caesar's Palace fountain on a bike similar to the one Knievel used 50 years ago - an attempt that ended with a crash that left him grasping for life. If Pastrana rides away from all three, he will be the only person to successfully beat two of Knievel's distance records and land a jump over the fountain on a v-twin motorcycle. All of this will happen in the span of just three hours, and HISTORY will capture every exhilarating, nerve-wracking moment live.
