Telewest originated in [[Croydon]] in 1984 under the name "Croydon Cable". In 1988 United Cable of Denver, US, acquired Croydon Cable. Franchises extended the company scope in [[Edinburgh]] and the south-west and south-east of [[England]]. In 1989 United Cable merged with United Artists Cable International. In 1991 United Artists merged with their largest shareholder [[Tele-Communications Inc.|TCI]] ([[as of 2007|now]] [[Liberty Media]]), to form the largest cable operator in the US. TCI and [[US West]] announced a joint venture, and in 1992 the joint venture company became Telewest Communications. In 1995 Telewest merged with SBC Communications, adding franchises in the Midlands and North West serving 1.3 million homes.
