What would a Charter-Cox company look like?
HAMPTON ROADS, Va. (WAVY) — Two of the largest cable companies in America are merging, as Charter Communications is buying Cox Communications in a $34.5 billion deal. US cable giants Charter and Cox, under assault by streaming services, pursue $34.5 billion merger Both companies operate here in Hampton Roads. 'Historically, when mergers take place, we often say they're not good for the customers because they lead to consolidation and they reduce competition,' said Dr. Vinod Agarwal, economic professor at Old Dominion University's Strome College of Business. However, in this case, Agarwal said the acquisition is necessary because the industry is changing. 'You're going from cable services to streaming services to services provided by telephone companies,' Agarwal said, 'and the cable industry, to some extent, is dying in the sense that individuals have cut off cable and moved towards internet services and streaming services.' He thinks the merging of these two companies will be positive. 'So, this merger in my opinion … will be good for industry,' he said. 'Simply because now it will force these companies — and it will put these companies in a position — to start competing with the changing technology in this industry.' Agarwal said the merger of the two companies is 'a question of survival in the long run,' he said. 'You know, if the industry is changing and you don't change, you fall behind, and if you fall behind, you're dead.' Agarwal thinks together, the two companies can compete more aggressively. 'They are not saying that they are not going to abandon cable service,' Agarwal said. 'They are not saying this because you know why? There are millions of consumers who still like cable.' The professor said it's the principle of divide and conquer. 'What this essentially means is we are going to consolidate things,' he said. 'So one part of the company will focus on cloud services. Another part of the company will focus on cable services, but remember now there's only one company.' Agarwal also notes this possible joining of these two companies could bring more jobs to America. 'But this could also be a public relations campaign because President Trump is pushing for jobs at home … and that impact on the merged companies may not have any impact,' Agarwal said. '… it is also possible we may actually gain more jobs with a call center in Hampton Roads Agarwal also raised the questions of what would happen if this deal doesn't go through. 'If they don't merge, would they be able to survive,' Agarwal said. 'So in the long run we may be at the losing end without the merger.' Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
