History
Cablevisión was founded on October 3, 1960, by a group of 10 people led by architect Benjamín Burillo Pérez.[2] The first services were initiated on October 4, 1966 to link the Social Securities Clinics and its health sector dependencies with educational programs for surgeons. The company began operations on October 20, ahead of the 1968 Summer Olympics, which were to be held in two years.[3] At the time, its coverage reached 124 kilometers, aiming at neighborhoods that were of the high society in Del Valle and Polanco, gaining 300 subscribers. After an agreement with Luz y Fuerza del Centro, S.A., on June 16, 1967, Cablevisión allowed the usage of its lamp posts to deliver the cable signals.[3]
