After the merger in 2002 of the three TeleCable companies into Telecable de Asturias, S.A.U., he was appointed Sole Administrator of this company and became its Chairman in 2007.

He took part in the incorporation process of RETECAL, a company of which he was a director, as well as TELEVISIÓN CASTILLA Y LEÓN S.A.

In 2009, he stepped down as Chairman of Sociedad Promotora de las Telecomunicaciones en Asturias, S.A., and TeleCable de Asturias, S.A.U., and was appointed Honorary Chairman.
