      This Amendment No. 5 relates to the offers by Charter Communications,
Inc., a Delaware corporation ("CCI"), to purchase for cash up to $140,000,000
aggregate principal amount of its outstanding 4.75% Convertible Senior Notes due
2006 (the "4.75% Notes") at a purchase price equal to $800.00 per $1,000 in
principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to, but not

amount of its outstanding 5.75% Convertible Senior Notes due 2005 (the "5.75%
Notes," and together with the 4.75% Notes, the "Notes") at a purchase price
equal to $825.00 per $1,000 in principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid
interest thereon to, but not including, the date of purchase.

      This Amendment No. 5 is being filed by CCI and amends and supplements
certain provisions of the Tender Offer Statement on Schedule TO filed on July
11, 2003 (the "Schedule TO"), as amended by Amendment No. 1 filed on July 31,

constitute the "Offers"), all of which were filed with the SEC as Exhibits to
the Schedule TO or amendments thereto.

      On August 14, 2003, CCI announced the termination and withdrawal of the
Offers due to unfavorable market conditions causing the financing condition not
to be satisfied.
