Post Cereals will spoon out minisodes during Discovery Channel's "Alaska Week" programming special.
As part of the sponsorship deal, Post's Trail Mix Crunch cereal will be the premier sponsor of Discovery's Alaska Week, airing each night with themed episodes of some of the network's top series from April 12 through April 18 in the 9 p.m. hour.

There, they can also enter the Post Trail Mix Crunch "Taste of Adventure Sweepstakes" for a chance to win a five-night, four-day trip for two to Alaska, planned by Discovery.
During the stunt, Discovery will air fresh Alaska-oriented installments of Dirty Jobs, MythBusters and the fifth-season debut of Deadliest Catch.
The agreement marks Trail Mix Crunch's second year as a sponsor of Alaska Week.
