  • Charter Communications announced on Friday, May 16, 2025, its plan to merge with Cox Communications, creating a major U.S. Cable company combining Spectrum and Cox brands.
  • The merger follows intensifying competition and subscriber losses due to cord-cutting and wireless providers packaging broadband with mobile plans.
  • The transaction values Cox Communications at $34.5 billion including $12.6 billion debt, pending regulatory and shareholder approvals, with headquarters in Stamford and significant presence in Atlanta.
  • Charter CEO Chris Winfrey expressed that this merger will enhance their capacity to develop innovative solutions and offer affordable, quality products supported by excellent customer service to countless households and businesses.
  • If approved, the merger would test regulatory views on large company combinations and help the new entity compete more effectively against wireless providers and streaming services.
