Charter Communications, already the No. 1 cable operator in the U.S., closed its acquisition of Cox Communications, creating a cable giant with operations in 45 states serving roughly 37 million customers.

The closing of the deal, valued at $34.5 billion, comes after the California Public Utility Commission (CPUC) last week voted to approve the transaction, which was the final federal and state regulatory approval required. Charter announced the deal to acquire Cox in May 2025.
