PROFILE |
 |
Here's a company that can get hard-core about its business. Metro Global Media produces and distributes adult movies on video and DVD, which are sold primarily to retail outlets. About 40% of sales come from Capital Video, a chain owned by reputed mobster Kenneth Guarino. (Guarino also controls 30% of Metro Global.) The company also has cable distribution deals with Playboy and New Frontier Media. In addition, Metro Global operates adult Web sites (amazingsex.com, amazingdirect.com), publishes magazines, and operates an adult entertainment retail chain with almost 20 franchised locations through its Airborne for Men subsidiary. In 1999 Metro Global sold its entertainment magazine unit, Fanzine International.
