For Immediate Release
STATEMENT OF COMMISSIONER MICHAEL O’RIELLY 
ON RECOMMENDATION REGARDING CHARTER/TIME WARNER 
CABLE/BRIGHT HOUSE NETWORKS
WASHINGTON, April 25, 2016. — As publicly acknowledged, the Chairman and his 
team have put forward recommendations regarding Charter’s proposal to acquire Time 
Warner Cable and Bright House Networks. At first blush, it appears that the 
Commission may have operated well outside the four corners of the merger application to 
pursue unrelated matters and policies. I will carefully consider the item put before me 
and vote in a timely manner.
