PHILADELPHIA--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Comcast Corporation announced this morning that its merger agreement
with Time Warner Cable and its transactions agreement with Charter
Communications, Inc. have been terminated. The following is a statement
from Comcast Chairman and CEO Brian L. Roberts:
"Today, we move on. Of course, we would have liked to bring our great
products to new cities, but we structured this deal so that if the
government didn't agree, we could walk away.
Comcast NBCUniversal is a unique company with strong momentum.
Throughout this entire process, our employees have kept their eye on the
ball and we have had fantastic operating results. I want to thank them
and the employees of Time Warner Cable for their tireless efforts.
I couldn't be more proud of this company and I am truly excited for
what's next."
