Spice is variety in Playboy videos

Hard on the heels of the acquisition of Spice Entertainment by Playboy, Playboy Home Video has started a new Spice video line. The first release is a compilation from PlayboyTV's Naughty Amateur Home Videos.

"The Spice brand is a brand extension for Playboy Home Video," said Tony Borg, director of sales and promotions. "It'll allow us to put out a little wider range of product than would normally fit under the Playboy brand."

Spice videos will come from the Spice Channel and the PlayboyTV cable service, projects shot specifically for Spice video, and "things we acquire and find a home for under the Spice brand," according to Borg.

Current plans are to release six videos a year. Three titles are being considered for the next release, which is expected "early in the fourth quarter."
