ST. LOUIS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Feb. 14, 2000--Charter Communications, Inc. (Nasdaq:CHTR) announced today that it has completed the previously announced $3.1 billion acquisition of Bresnan Communications Company Limited Partnership. The acquisition will add approximately 690,000 cable customers to Charter, solidifying its position as the fourth-largest cable operator in the United States serving 6.2 million customers.

That gives us the ability to hit the ground running and continue to deploy new services at an accelerated pace."
