Although the group had the name of the company signed since 1981, it was in 1987 that cable television began as a pilot experience, that is, a trial period when it decided to lay cables to 300 homes in the commune of Providencia, in the eastern sector of Santiago, specifically in the sector comprising El Bosque, Tobalaba and Bilbao avenues.
During 1995, Intercom moved its headquarters and payment address to Avenida Manquehue Sur 520, Las Condes (same place that it had been for 10 years with the merger of Metrópolis, and which was later occupied by VTR for the editorial direction of Vive!)
In addition, the number of telephone lines and operators to receive requests was expanded, acquiring an automatic audio response system, among others.
Access to 60 channels has also been implemented thanks to fiber optics with maximum image and audio clarity, which continued after the merger with Metrópolis.
In addition, Intercom's PAÍS project was completed, which not only covered Rancagua, but also included its service to the city of Iquique, after acquiring the cable operator Multicable.
Several cities such as Temuco, Coquimbo, La Serena, Concepción, Talcahuano, Viña del Mar and Valparaíso were going to be integrated into this network.
1991: 1993: 1995: At the end of June 1994, Metrópolis was acquired by Cristalerías Chile and the company Hendaya S.A., agreed to invest 47,000 million and a half dollars in the pay television business.
The merger of both companies made it possible to develop a varied programming menu, where the best signals that they offered separately were selected, and which were joined to those that they shared.
At the beginning of the year 2000, Metrópolis-Intercom was the only cable operator in Chile that offered the defunct sports channel PSN, through the "Basic" and "Premium" plans.
During its last years, Metrópolis promoted the advertising concept of "Full Connection", which consisted of a service plan that included residential telephony, cable television, and broadband internet through its own networks or through Telefónica CTC Chile.
The termination of this cable operator occurred at the end of 2004, when the TDLC (Free Competition Court) accepted the merger of Metrópolis with its rival company, VTR.
Metrópolis definitively ended its telephone, cable television and internet services on Thursday, June 30, 2005.
This was noticeable in adult time slots and in sporting events such as the UEFA Champions League broadcast by ESPN, when the moment in which the Amstel beer advertisement was shown was "cut off" or when the content used to replace what was desired to be censored came in a different audio and sound quality, similar to that of the VHS format.
