Broadcasting & Cable, May, 1995

Adult cable programer Graff Pay-Per-View says its second-quarter subscriber base should grow 30% in addressable households despite talk that its Spice service is about to be removed from systems owned by the Time Warner New York City Cable Group (Playboy's new adult movie channel debuts on the systems on July 1).

In other adult TV developments, Playboy is teaming with Flextech PLC and British Sky Broadcasting to launch a European service, Playboy TV, debuting in the UK in 1995 and later extending into Ireland, Belgium, the Netherlands and Luxembourg.
