Charter to Buy Cox for $34.5B | Venice Beach News
Description
California just approved a $34.5 billion merger between Charter and Cox, making Charter the nation’s largest cable provider — bigger than Comcast. The deal, set to close next week, will unite Spectrum’s networks across Southern California, bringing major changes for millions of customers in LA and San Diego. Charter promises better deals and more value through mobile-broadband bundles and U.S.-based service, while regulators added conditions to protect consumers, expand affordable access, and ensure fair pricing — especially for low-income communities. Charter pledged $30 million for outreach and digital literacy, plus $275 million in equipment upgrades including 1-gigabit service, free broadband at community centers, and automatic bill credits for outages. And for sports fans: Cox subscribers will now get SportsNet LA — the Dodgers’ channel — after years of being blocked by Cox due to high fees.
