Building on three years of ratings growth, History has ordered several reality shows, including a spinoff of Thom Beers' top-rated "Ice Road Truckers."
Under the leadership of president and Gm Nancy Dubuc, History recently launched its 10 highest-rated series to date. She plans to continue the network's strategy of developing informative reality shows and headline-drawing event specials.
For next summer, Dubuc plans to introduce Beers' "Extreme Trucking," which takes the North American-based "Ice Road Truckers" format to locations worldwide where truckers navigate hazardous highways.
"There's an endless supply of dangerous roads, and they're in places where they're highly unregulated," she said.
History has given a green light to "American Pickers" (working title), planned as a companion series to its series "Pawn Stars, which set a year-to-date original-series record for the network Sunday night with 2.9 million viewers.
"Pickers" explores the world of antique and collectible hunters who travel the U.S.

Charles Manson's lookout driver will tell her story to viewers for the first time in decades in a History special on the Manson Family murders.
For the 40th anniversary of the shocking Hollywood murder spree, the network has scheduled the two-hour "Manson" on Sept. 7. It features an extensive interview with Linda Kasabian, who stood guard while her fellow cult members murdered actress Sharon Tate and others.
The star witness for Manson's prosecution, the reclusive Kasabian hasn't been extensively interviewed since an "A Current Affair" special on the 20th anniversary of the murders in 1989.
The special recounts the nine months leading up to what Manson dubbed Helter Skelter, a two-night murder spree that he and his Lsd-addled followers thought would incite a race war.
Susan Werbe, Nick Godwin and Simon Lloyd will executive produce the special.
