To meet this demand, the new SPIKE TV television series “SEMA ZONE,” hosted by former SEMA Chairman Corky Coker, will provide an insider look into the industry’s most influential personalities, ideas and innovative products.

In addition to the professional and celebrity interviews, the show will discuss the latest and greatest in the car hobby with everyday enthusiasts. Created by Art Royce, co-founder and CEO of the Irvine, CA based Coast Media Teleproductions, Inc. and Coast Media Worldwide, Inc., this high-energy series entertains and educates viewers about the newest innovations and the brightest minds in the automotive aftermarket.
As former chairman of SEMA and president of Coker Tire, a family business celebrating their 50 year anniversary in 2008, Corky Coker has a life long connection to the collector car hobby and over three decades in the automotive aftermarket business. Joined by customization guru David “the Fishman” Rivera, “bling” expert/hip hop artist DJ Skribble and other colorful segment hosts, Coker will utilize his unique perspective, automotive expertise, Southern charm and quick wit to give viewers an inside look at the automotive aftermarket industry.
