Grupo MVS
Grupo MVS is a conglomerate of companies founded more than 50 years ago by Joaquín Vargas Gómez. MVS started with Stereorey, the first FM radio station with transmission all over the country. Very soon the group purchased new stations –including MVS Noticias– at the same time when it entered in the television sector with Telerey, one of the first independent centers for production and postproduction in Mexico.
Telerey was the starting point for MVS Comunicaciones, the media conglomerate of the Vargas family. At the end of the 1980s, this group came out with MVS Multivisión - the first wireless system for pay-TV in the country. Since then, MVS has been investing in the development of satelite TV services by subscription. In 1996, it launched DirecTV in México in alliance with Hughes Communications (United States), but eight years later the organization went bankrupt.
In 2008, MVS started operating in Mexico the satelite TV system Dish in partnership with the US company EchoStar Corporation. Today MVS Comunicaciones incorporates two important units of the group: MVS Radio (focused on radio broadcast) and MVS Telecomunicaciones (made out of four subdivisions: Dish; Fundación Dish; MVS Televisión, which produces and sales television content, and Hemisphere, which produces a movie channel in Spanish language in the United States). Grupo MVS is also the owner of Corporación Mexicana de Restaurantes (CMR), which manages restaurants starting with the chain Wings in the 1960s. At present times CRM also operates international franchises such as Chili’s.
