Héctor Grandetti, founded the company Difusión Contemporánea S.A. (Contemporary Broadcasting S.A.). This company, known as DiCon for short, submitted a bid in the licensing of two new TV channels in Buenos Aires, one on channel 11 and one on channel 13. On April 28, 1958, DiCon won the license for channel 11.Original plans to construct the new station in Colegio El Salvador facilities fell through. Eventually, facilities were secured, and with the window to sign on air coming to a close, Canal 11 took to the air on July 21, 1961.Financial problems forced the station to seek a backer, which would turn out to be ABC in the United States. ABC and DiCon formed Telerama S.R.L., a group that allowed DiCon to upgrade and expand its studio facilities.
