Item 4   Change in Registrant's Certifying Account

     A)  On May 10, 1999, Metro Global Media, Inc. ("Metro") appointed the
         accounting firm of Grant Thornton, LLP as independent accountants for
         fiscal 1999 to replace Trien Rosenberg, Rosenberg, Weinberg, Ciullo &
         Fazzari, LLP, ("Trien") effective with such appointment. Metro's Board
         of Directors approved the selection of Grant Thornton, LLP as new
         independent accountants. Management has not consulted with Grant
         Thornton on any accounting, auditing or reporting matter.

     B)  During the two most recent fiscal years and interim period subsequent
         to May 30, 1998, there have been no disagreements with Trien on any
         matter of accounting principals or practices, financial statement
         disclosure or auditing scope or procedure. As a result of the Company's
         receipt of a SEC comment letter dated January 7, 1999, there are
         unresolved issues which may effect the May 31, 1998 financial
         statements as well as the current year financial statements of the
         Company.

     C)  Trien's report on the financial statements for the past two years
         contained no adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion and was not
         qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting
         principles.

     D)  Metro has provided Trien with a copy of this disclosure and has
         requested Trien furnish it with a letter addressed to the SEC stating
         whether it agrees with the above statements.
         


                                 SIGNATURE


Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the
registrant has duly caused this amendment to be signed on its behalf by the
undersigned, thereunto duly authorized.

                                    METRO GLOBAL MEDIA, INC.
