Charter Communications has completed its merger with Cox Communications and acquisition of John Malone’s Liberty Broadband, creating a new cable powerhouse.
The $34.5 billion mega-merger 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 it earlier this year.
“These transformative transactions create the leading broadband and video company in the nation and the fastest-growing mobile provider in its footprint, with seamless connectivity and video entertainment, and high-quality customer service delivering powerful benefits for customers, local communities, employees and shareholders,” the cable giant said.
“The addition of Cox to the Spectrum footprint is one that can be celebrated by customers, employees and investors alike,” said Chris Winfrey, Charter president and CEO. “Together, we will bring the best products, at the best price, coupled with the highest level of customer service to more customers across our expanded 45-state Spectrum footprint. And Cox employees will soon have access to all the programs and benefits that have made Charter an employer of choice where its 100 percent U.S.-based employees can build long-term careers.”
