Sexy Biz: Sasha Grey's 'Grey Art Productions' inks broadcast deal with Spice Digital Networks

Spice Digital Networks adds Sasha Grey's Grey Art Productions to its programming

Sasha Grey is having one hell of a year, adding mainstream modelling gigs and the starring role in Steven Soderbergh's The Girlfriend Experience to a resume that also includes a spectacularly raunchy and prolific career in hardcore porn. With her newest endeavor, Grey Art Productions, she's adding entrepreneur to the resume – and in a big way.

Today her brand new Grey Art Productions company announced a major multi-year "first-look" broadcast deal with Spice Digital Networks Los Angeles, the leading adult content provider in the broadcast market.

As part of the deal, films from Grey Art Productions will now air on the Spice Networks' channels Spice Xcess and Fresh. 

Grey, who from early on has been dubbed the first "Existentialist porn star," might also be the most business savvy and most diversely multitalented porn star.
