COMMISSION ACCEPTS FOR FILING APPLICATIONS OF CHARTER 
COMMUNICATIONS, INC., TIME WARNER CABLE, INC., AND ADVANCE/NEWHOUSE 
PARTNERSHIP FOR CONSENT TO TRANSFER CONTROL OF LICENSES AND 
AUTHORIZATIONS
MB Docket No. 15-149
On June 25, 2015, Charter Communications, Inc. (“Charter”), Time Warner Cable, Inc. (“Time 
Warner Cable”), and Advance/Newhouse Partnership (“Advance/Newhouse” and, together with Charter 
and Time Warner Cable, the “Applicants”) submitted joint applications to the Commission seeking 
consent to transfer control of various Commission licenses and other authorizations pursuant to Sections 
214 and 310(d) of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended.
1
  These transfers are a necessary 
component of proposed transactions through which Charter, Time Warner Cable, and 
Advance/Newhouse’s Bright House Networks, LLC (“Bright House Networks”) will merge (the 
“Transaction”).
2
  The applications for transfer of control of the licenses and other authorizations referred 
to in this Public Notice have been accepted for filing upon initial review.
3
  The Commission reserves the 
right to return any application if, upon further examination, it is determined to be defective and not in 
conformance with the Commission’s rules, regulations, or policies.  The details of the proposed transfers 
are set forth below.  
The Applicants assert that certain information in their applications is competitively sensitive and 
should be treated as confidential under our rules. At the same time, we expect interested parties will seek 
to review that information in order to analyze and meaningfully comment upon the proposed transaction.  
We expect that we will issue a protective order in this proceeding to protect any competitively sensitive 
information that is filed in the record while still permitting a limited disclosure to allow commenters to

See 47 U.S.C. §§ 214, 310(d); Application of Charter Communications, Inc., Time Warner Cable Inc., and 
Advance/Newhouse Partnership for Consent to the Transfer of Control of Licenses and Authorizations (filed June 
25, 2015).

See Application of Charter Communications, Inc., Time Warner Cable Inc., and Advance/Newhouse Partnership 
for Consent to the Transfer of Control of Licenses and Authorizations, MB Docket No. 15-149, Public Interest 
Statement at 2 (filed June 25, 2015) (Redacted “Public Interest Statement”), available at
https://transition.fcc.gov/transaction/charter-twc-bhn/charter-twc-bhn-public-interest.pdf.  Applicants state that 
“[a]lthough the Charter-Time Warner Cable and Charter-Bright House Networks transactions are not exclusively 
contingent on each other, the parties filed a consolidated public interest statement for the Commission’s and other 
parties’ convenience in light of the many similar issues arising from the two transactions.”  Id. at 2 n.2.    
3
A list of the licenses and authorizations subject to the Transaction is set forth in the Attachment to this Public 
Notice.  Charter states that it believes the ownership changes impacting its own licenses and authorizations 
constitute, at most, pro forma transfers of control; nevertheless, because Charter has filed at the Commission under 
the Commission’s substantial change of control procedures for all Commission licenses held by Time Warner Cable 
and Bright House Networks in connection with these related transactions, Charter has also submitted its applications 
for its own licenses under the same procedures to facilitate Commission review.  Public Interest Statement at 2 n.1.

notice setting forth the pleading cycle.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PROPOSED TRANSACTION
The proposed transaction, if approved, would combine the control of Charter, Time Warner 
Cable, and Bright House Networks into a single company, referred to as New Charter.  According to 
Applicants, Time Warner Cable stockholders would receive a combination of cash and stock that values 
Time Warner Cable at approximately $78.7 billion, and Advance/Newhouse would receive a combination 
of cash and partnership units that values Bright House Networks at approximately $10.4 billion.
31
  As 
Applicants describe, there are three components to the Transaction, each of which is expected to occur 
simultaneously upon closing.
32
  
First, Time Warner Cable would become a subsidiary of New Charter through a series of 
mergers.
33
  According to Applicants, through these mergers, Time Warner Cable shareholders would be 
given the choice to receive, for each share of Time Warner Cable stock, either (a) a combination of $100 
per share and approximately 0.4891 shares of New Charter Class A common stock, or (b) a combination 
of $115 per share and approximately 0.4125 shares of New Charter Class A common stock.
34
  
Second, Charter would merge with a subsidiary of New Charter, becoming a subsidiary of New 
Charter, and each then outstanding share of Charter Class A common stock would be converted into 
0.9042 shares of New Charter Class A common stock.
35
  Applicants state that New Charter would assume 
the Charter name and its existing NASDAQ Stock Market ticker symbol (CHTR).
36
  Additionally, Liberty 
Broadband would contribute $4.3 billion in cash to New Charter in exchange for shares of New Charter 
Class A common stock, which, with the additional contribution of $700 million referred to below, would 
give Liberty Broadband an 18 to 19 percent interest in New Charter.
37
Third, New Charter would acquire Bright House Networks, with limited exceptions, from 
Advance/Newhouse for approximately $10.4 billion, consisting of (a) approximately $2 billion in cash, 
(b) one share of New Charter Class B common stock carrying voting rights in New Charter,
38
and (c)

Id. at 14.  Applicants state that, prior to that conversion, Liberty Broadband and Liberty Interactive Corp. would 
contribute its shares of Time Warner Cable stock to the merger subsidiary in exchange for shares of the merger 
subsidiary on a one-for-one basis, which would be converted into shares of surviving Time Warner Cable on a one-
for-one basis in the merger.  Id.
35
Id.
36
Id.
37
Id.  According to Applicants, these shares would be issued at a price equivalent to an exchange ratio of $176.95 
per current Charter share, which represents Charter’s closing price on May 20, 2015, the trading day on which 
Charter’s offer to acquire Time Warner Cable was based.  Id. at 14 n.21.
38
Applicants state that New Charter would also receive nominal consideration in exchange for the issuance of this 
share.  Id. at 15 n.22.
5common and preferred units, valued at approximately $8.4 billion, in a partnership that would be 
principally held by New Charter and that would hold all of Bright House Networks’ assets, as well as 
assets of Charter and Time Warner Cable.
39
  The preferred units would be convertible into common units 
of the partnership, and the common units would be exchangeable by Advance/Newhouse, in certain 
circumstances, for cash or, at the election of New Charter, New Charter Class A common stock, and, 
together with the partnership units, would represent approximately 13 to 14 percent of New Charter on an 
as-converted, as-exchanged basis.
40
  
In connection with the Bright House Networks portion of the Transaction, Applicants state that 
Liberty Broadband would contribute an additional $700 million in cash (for a total of $5 billion, including 
the $4.3 billion noted above) in exchange for shares of New Charter Class A common stock.
41
  As noted 
above, Liberty Broadband would own approximately 18 to 19 percent of New Charter (with additional 
voting rights pursuant to a proxy granted by Advance/Newhouse and a proxy granted by Liberty 
Interactive Corp.) as a result of its investments.
42
  
Applicants state that, upon the Transaction’s completion, majority ownership—67 to 69 percent 
on an as-converted, as-exchanged basis—of New Charter would be publicly held, and a majority of the 
13-person board would not be nominated by either Advance/Newhouse (which would nominate two 
board members at closing) or Liberty Broadband (which would nominate three board members at 
closing).
43
  In addition, Applicants state that Tom Rutledge, Charter’s current President and CEO, would 
hold a board seat and be offered the position of Chairman and CEO of New Charter.
44
  According to 
Applicants, following the Transaction, New Charter would own and/or manage systems serving 
approximately 19.4 million broadband customers, 17.3 million video customers, and 9.4 million voice 
customers (23.9 million customers total) across 41 states.
45
According to Applicants, the Transaction would produce substantial public interest benefits.
46
In 
particular, Applicants assert that the Transaction would result in the provision of improved broadband 
services for consumers and edge providers.
47
  Specifically, Applicants claim that the combined company 
                                                     
39
Id. at 14-15.  According to Applicants, these partnership units consist of (i) exchangeable common units valued at 
approximately $5.9 billion and (ii) convertible preferred units with a face amount of $2.5 billion, which will pay a 
six percent coupon.  Id. at 15 n.23.  In addition, the one share of Class B common stock held by Advance/Newhouse 
would be economically equivalent to Class A common stock but would initially possess a number of votes reflecting 
the voting power of the common units and the convertible preferred units held by Advance/Newhouse on an as-
converted, as-exchanged basis.  Id.
40
Id. at 15.  According to Applicants, an “as-converted, as-exchanged basis” assumes that all of the partnership units 
held by Advance/Newhouse are converted into Class A common stock of New Charter.  Id. at 15 n.24.
41
Id. at 15.
42
Id.  Applicants state that, by virtue of its exchange of Time Warner Cable shares, Liberty Interactive Corp. would 
receive approximately 1.7 to 1.9 percent of New Charter stock, and pursuant to a proxy agreement, Liberty 
Broadband would vote Liberty Interactive’s New Charter shares.  Id. at 15 n.26.

6would raise the minimum broadband speed to 60 Mbps throughout almost all of the merged company’s 
footprint, with pricing based on Charter’s current model.
48
  Moreover, Applicants state their intent to offer 
these broadband services on a stand-alone as well as bundled basis, without data caps, usage-based 
pricing, modem fees, or early termination fees.
49
  Applicants also commit that New Charter would not 
block, throttle, or engage in paid prioritization of Internet traffic.
50
  Applicants state that New Charter 
would continue to engage in reasonable and non-discriminatory interconnection and will submit any
interconnection disputes to the Commission for resolution.
51
  Applicants further commit to investing at 
least $2.5 billion to build out New Charter’s networks.
52
  Applicants also assert that the Transaction 
would result in the provision of superior video offerings at more competitive prices.
53
  They claim that, 
among other things, the merged company would complete the digitization of the Time Warner Cable and 
Bright House Networks systems faster than would occur otherwise, and within 30 months of closing.
54
Applicants also assert that the Transaction would generate substantial public interest benefits 
deriving from the combined company’s expanded scale and denser geographic coverage.
55
  They claim 
that by expanding into, and increasing density within, multiple regions, the merger would enable New 
Charter to compete more effectively for large enterprise and other multi-location customers.
56
  According 
to Applicants, the scale achieved by the Transaction also would lower the per-customer fixed costs of 
investments, facilitating the deployment of new technology and advanced infrastructure and enabling 
New Charter to compete more effectively.
57
  Applicants further contend that New Charter would realize 
substantial synergies, reducing the merged company’s costs.
58
  According to Applicants, New Charter 
                                                     
48
Id. at 2-3, 19-22.  Applicants state that, in Time Warner Cable and Bright House Networks territories that are 
already all-digital, New Charter would introduce this offering within a year of closing.  Id. at 21-22.  Applicants also 
state that a small portion (less than one percent) of New Charter that is not interconnected to the New Charter 
network may be offered lower speeds.  Id. at 3 n.3.  In addition, Applicants state that New Charter would make 
available a separate low-income service that would build upon Bright House Networks’ existing low-income 
broadband program by raising the speed and expanding eligibility of the program while still offering a discounted 
rate.  Id. at 3 n.3, 20, 41.
49
Id. at 3.       
50
Id. at 3, 18-19, 23.  Applicants state that these commitments would continue for three years, regardless of whether 
the Commission’s Open Internet rules are upheld in court.  Id.
51
Id. at 19, 23.  Applicants state that these commitments would also continue for three years, regardless of whether 
the Commission’s interconnection framework in the 2015 Open Internet Order is upheld in court.  Id.
52
Id. at 18.  Included in this build out is a commitment to build one million line extensions to homes in Charter’s 
current franchise area within four years of closing the Transaction.  Id.  Moreover, Applicants state that, within four 
years of closing, New Charter intends to deploy over 300,000 out-of-home Wi-Fi access points.  Id. at 18, 27-28.
53
Id. at 25-27.
54
Id. at 3, 19, 21-22, 24.  Applicants state that it is possible that systems serving fewer than one percent of homes 
may not be taken all-digital due to the challenges in interconnecting to the remaining New Charter network.  Id. at 
19 n.41.
55
Id. at 28-40.
56
Id. at 4, 35-38.  Moreover, Applicants contend that increased scale and a denser footprint will enable New Charter 
to better compete for regional and national advertisers and to better market its own services.  Id. at 38-40.
57
Id. at 28-33.
58
Id. at 31.
7would thus have the resources and incentives to invest in providing superior services to consumers, online 
video distributors (“OVDs”), and edge providers.
59
  
And finally, according to Applicants, the combined company would build on each individual 
company’s commitments to customer service and good corporate citizenship, and would bring previously 
outsourced jobs back to the United States.
60
In addition to citing affirmative public interest benefits, Applicants claim that the Transaction 
would not result in any public interest harms.  Applicants first contend that the Transaction raises no 
horizontal concerns because the Applicants serve distinct geographic areas.
61
  Specifically, Applicants 
state that less than one percent of the census blocks that make up New Charter’s footprint contain 
customers of more than one of the merging companies, and in the census blocks where there is such 
overlap, the merging companies generally serve different areas.
62
  
According to Applicants, the Transaction also would not cause any harm to the content 
distribution marketplace, either with respect to edge providers or traditional video programmers and 
distributors.  In particular, Applicants assert that New Charter would not have any incentive to foreclose 
OVDs or other edge providers; instead, they claim, New Charter would have incentives to promote OVDs 
to expand subscribership to its broadband network, which, according to Applicants, generates much 
higher margins than the combined company’s video business.
63
  Applicants also contend that New Charter 
would lack the ability to engage successfully in a foreclosure strategy, as it would have at least 2.5 million 
fewer broadband subscribers than Comcast Corporation serves today, and would serve only 
approximately 17 percent of MVPD subscribers nationwide, making it the third-largest MVPD.
64
  
Moreover, Applicants assert that the Transaction would not have a substantial effect on the top designated 
market areas (“DMAs”) because New Charter would add a substantial presence in only three DMAs 
where Time Warner Cable or Bright House Networks do not already have a presence (Boston, Atlanta, 
and Minneapolis), and in each, Comcast would remain the largest market participant by far.
65
  
Applicants further state that the Transaction does not raise vertical concerns because the merged 
company would not own any controlling interests in nationwide broadcast or cable networks.
66
  
According to Applicants, New Charter would not be a significant owner of content, and the programming 
controlled by the merging entities is limited to various local and regional networks.
67
  Applicants assert

60
Id. at 20, 40-42.
61
Id. at 42-43.
62
Id. at 42-43.  Specifically, Applicants state that two or more of the Applicants have a residential broadband 
customer in the same census block in 617 of the 1,350,503 census blocks where the three companies have residential 
broadband customers.  Id. at 42 n.102.
63
Id. at 48-49. 
64
Id. at 6, 54-56.  Moreover, Applicants contend that the relevant industries in which New Charter would operate 
are, and will remain, competitive and dynamic.  Id. at 59-61. 
65
Id. at 5.  Applicants state that New Charter would be the largest MVPD in four of the top 20 DMAs — Los 
Angeles, Tampa-St. Petersburg, Orlando-Daytona-Melbourne, and Cleveland-Akron/Canton — the same DMAs in 
which Time Warner Cable and Bright House Networks already have the largest presence.  Id. at 47 & n.120.   
66
Id. at 50-54, 58-59.  
67
Id. at 52.  
8that the minority interests held by Liberty Broadband and Advance/Newhouse in New Charter would not 
impact New Charter’s programming decisions.
68
  According to Applicants, because New Charter would 
have no economic interest in Liberty Broadband, Advance/Newhouse, or any of those two entities’ 
affiliates, New Charter would have no financial stake in the success of programming affiliated with those 
entities.
69
  In addition, Applicants state that “given the limited nature and quantity of programming 
affiliated with Liberty Broadband and Advance/Newhouse, neither has any incentive to take actions that 
conflict with New Charter’s best interests.”
70
Finally, Applicants state that the Transaction would not result in the violation of any provisions of 
the Communications Act or the Commission’s rules.
71
