Charter has wrapped up its acquisition of Cox Communications and its deal to acquire Liberty Broadband, accelerating its position in the broadband and business services markets.
Initially, the $34.5 billion megamerger with Cox was announced in May 2025, with Charter, the second-largest cable company in the U.S. behind Comcast, acquiring Cox, another cable giant with 6 million subscribers. The FCC approved the deal earlier this year.
Charter said these deals will create a more expansive broadband and video company and the fastest-growing mobile provider in its footprint.
Next year, the combined company will take on the Cox name but will continue to operate under the Spectrum brand across all markets. The company will also remain headquartered in Stamford, CT, while maintaining a significant presence in Atlanta, GA.
Alex Taylor will become Chairman of the combined company board, while Eric Zinterhofer has been named the lead independent director of Charter's board.
Charter’s current CEO, Chris Winfrey, will continue in his role as President and CEO and board member.
