Charter Lays Off 1,200 Corporate Workers Months After Announcing a $34 Billion Merger with Cox

Charter is cutting just over 1% of its 95,000 workforce to restructure amid subscriber losses and industry shifts, focusing layoffs on corporate and back-office roles.

  • On Tuesday, Charter Communications is cutting about 1,200 employees, representing just over 1% of its 95,000-person workforce.
  • Broad subscriber losses and churn have strained Charter's pay-TV and broadband businesses, pressured by streaming platforms and fixed wireless competitors this year.
  • Corporate and back-office roles are targeted, sparing sales and service employees, with cuts hitting Stamford, Connecticut headquarters and centers in Charlotte, Denver and St. Louis.
  • Shares slipped around 1% on Wednesday as Charter prepares third-quarter earnings next week and pursues a $21.9 billion acquisition of Cox Cable.
  • Charter reaches more than 50 million Americans across 41 states and faces ongoing declines with 29.9 million broadband subscribers and a 5% drop in video customers.
