Charter Communications: Cable Cash Flows - [Business Breakdowns, EP. 139] 

Today we are breaking down the cable giant Charter Communications. Tony Coniaris and John Sitarz of Harris Associates join us for this deep dive on the cable market and Charter's business. We've spent a big portion of the first half of the conversation outlining the history of cable, the asset itself, what it does differently versus some of the alternatives, and then we flash forward to how the industry is operating today.
The idea of cord-cutting has become very consensus, but it's not very obvious in terms of how that actually impacts a business like Charter and its flagship product Spectrum. We go into some of the case studies that have recently occurred and then tie it all back in terms of the business model.
There's so many different lessons that you can take out here thanks to Tony and John. Please enjoy this Business Breakdown on Charter
