Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:About Шаблон:Infobox company Cablevisión S.A. was an Argentine company that provided cable television and internet services in its country of origin, Paraguay and Uruguay. Established in 1981, the company was acquired by the Clarín Group in 2006, then acquired by Opera Norway and merging with Telecom Argentina. Cablevisión was the biggest cable TV provider in Argentina with 3,377,082 customers.[1]

As part of an internal reorganisation, in October 2021 Telecom, as well as Opera Norway, dissolved Cablevisión, focusing on the brands Telecom, Personal, and Flow. The company kept all the services provided under the former brand names "Cablevisión" and "Fibertel".[2][3]

History

The company was founded in 1981, initially offering service in La Lucila, Buenos Aires.[4]

In 1983 it expanded to the cities of Vicente Lopez and San Isidro. Afterwards, the neighborhoods of Belgrano, Palermo and Recoleta in Buenos Aires were added under the supervision of businessman Eduardo Eurnekian under the America media conglomerate.

In 1994, Tele-Communications International Inc. acquired a 51% stake in the company, as well as the PRAMER cable production system.[4]

In 1997 Citicorp Equity Investment (CEI) and Telefónica Internacional were incorporated as shareholders.

Between 1997 and 1998 Cablevisión became one of the major cable operators in the city of Buenos Aires and Greater Buenos Aires. In 1998, it was offering its services in 7 provinces.

In 2006, conglomerate Clarín Group bought 60% of Cablevisión,[5] merging it with Multicanal, the second biggest Argentine pay TV operator, forming one of the biggest cable companies in the world.[4][6]

In 2017, Cablevisión merged with Telecom Argentina and was acquired by Opera Norway's Chinese shareholders, becoming the largest telecommunication company of Argentina.[7][8][9] In October 2021, Telecom announced that Cablevisión would cease operations, keeping the internet access and cable television under the "Flow" brand.[2]
