Charter introduces Spectrum brand in Southern California http://www.latimes.com/entertainment/envelope/cotown/la-et-ct-charter-ceo-20160920-snap-story.html
Four months after Charter Communications acquired Time Warner Cable, the company is officially retiring the much-maligned Time Warner Cable brand name. Charter on Tuesday switched its product brand to Spectrum and the recently bulked-up company -- now the dominant cable-TV and Internet service provider in Southern California with more than 3 million customer homes -- is sending strong signals that it intends to be less flexible than its predecessor. - - - Charter promises to screw existing Time Warner Cable subscribers, essentially. Oh yeah, these mergers are just GREAT. --Lauren-- Care About Science and Tech?
