Founded in 1983 as Televerket Kabel-TV as part of the former state-owned Televerket, the company has been successively named Svenska Kabel-TV AB and Telia InfoMedia TeleVision AB, before becoming 'Com Hem' (a play on the Swedish phrase Kom hem, "come home") in 1999. In 2003, Telia had to sell Com Hem to EQT Partners as a result of its merger with Sonera of Finland that same year.
Today the company has 135+ TV channels available to its TV customers. Digital TV was introduced in 1997. A broadband service that uses the company's proprietary Cable Network was launched in 1999. In 2004 VoIP Telephone was introduced and the company became Sweden's first nationwide Triple Play Service Provider.
All the households connected to the Com Hem Cable Network have access to Broadband Internet services, services, Fixedline Telephony and a wide range of TV channels. Com Hem also provides interactive services that facilitate management, communication and maintenance for property owners.
The company has around 1000 employees with offices in Stockholm, Gothenburg, Malmö, Västerås, Härnösand and Örnsköldsvik.
In 2011, EQT sold the company to BC Partners. Com Hem held its initial public offering (IPO) on 17 June 2014 and is now listed on Stockholm Stock Exchange. On 27 April 2017 Kinnevik acquired approximately 18,5% of the stock and became Com Hem's largest stock holder.
This post will be updated with the channel list once I find a reliable source.
