Charter Buys Cox for $34.5B | Topeka News

Charter just dropped $34.5 billion to snap up Cox, making it the nation’s largest cable giant—now covering 45 states. If you’re in Kansas with Cox, expect trucks and services rebranded as Spectrum by September. CEO Chris Winfrey says frontline workers won’t see major changes, but they’re hiring 1,000 new sales roles at $20/hour and bringing customer service back to the U.S. Behind the scenes, Cox’s Atlanta HQ is getting a shake-up as Charter’s Southeast operations move in. Customers can explore new Spectrum pricing and packages starting mid-September—with lower internet rates, free mobile lines for a year, and more apps included. No one’s being forced to switch, but the value proposition is clear: Spectrum promises better deals from day one.
