CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This prospectus contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, which we refer to as the Exchange Act, regarding, among other things, our plans, strategies and prospects, both business and financial, including, without limitation, the forward-looking statements set forth in the section titled “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009 incorporated by reference in this prospectus. Although we believe that our plans, intentions and expectations reflected in or suggested by these forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot assure you that we will achieve or realize these plans, intentions or expectations. Forward-looking statements are inherently subject to risks, uncertainties and assumptions, including, without limitation, the factors described in the sections titled “Risk Factors” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009 incorporated by reference in this prospectus. Many of the forward-looking statements contained in this prospectus may be identified by the use of forward-looking words such as “believe,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “should,” “planned,” “will,” “may,” “intend,” “estimated,” “aim,” “on track,” “target,” “opportunity,” “tentative” and “potential,” among others. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking statements we make in this prospectus are set forth in this prospectus and in other reports or documents that we file from time to time with the Securities and Exchange Commission, which we refer to as the SEC, and include, but are not limited to:
● the market for our securities and satisfaction of closing conditions in connection with recently announced financings;
● our ability to sustain and grow revenues and cash flows from operating activities by offering video, high-speed Internet, telephone and other services to residential and commercial customers, and to maintain and grow our customer base, particularly in the face of increasingly aggressive competition and the difficult economic conditions in the United States;
● the impact of competition from other distributors, including but not limited to incumbent telephone companies, direct broadcast satellite operators, wireless broadband providers, and digital subscriber line (“DSL”) providers and competition from video provided over the Internet;
● general business conditions, economic uncertainty or downturn and the significant downturn in the housing sector and overall economy;
● our ability to obtain programming at reasonable prices or to raise prices to offset, in whole or in part, the effects of higher programming costs (including retransmission consents);
● our ability to adequately deliver customer service;
● the effects of governmental regulation on our business;
● the availability and access, in general, of funds to meet our debt obligations, prior to or when they become due, and to fund our operations and necessary capital expenditures, either through (i) cash on hand, (ii) cash flows from operating activities, (iii) access to the capital or credit markets including through new issuances, exchange offers or otherwise, especially given recent volatility and disruption in the capital and credit markets, or (iv) other sources and our ability to fund debt obligations (by dividend, investment or otherwise) to the applicable obligor of such debt; and
● our ability to comply with all covenants in our indentures and credit facilities, any violation of which, if not cured in a timely manner, could trigger a default of our other obligations under cross-default provisions.

PROSPECTUS SUMMARY
The following summary highlights information contained elsewhere in this prospectus. It does not contain all the information that may be important to you in making an investment decision. You should read this entire prospectus carefully, including the documents incorporated by reference, which are described under “Incorporation by Reference of Certain Documents” and “Where You Can Find Additional Information.” You should also carefully consider, among other things, the matters discussed in the section titled “Risk Factors.” In this prospectus, unless the context requires otherwise, references to “the Company,” “the Issuer,” “we,” “our,” or “us” refer to Charter Communications, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries. “Charter” refers to Charter Communications, Inc., the issuer of the Class A Common Stock offered hereby, alone.
Our Business
We are among the largest providers of cable services in the United States, offering a variety of entertainment, information and communications solutions to residential and commercial customers. Our infrastructure consists of a hybrid of fiber and coaxial cable plant passing approximately 11.9 million homes, with 96% of homes passed at 550 MHZ or greater and 96% of plant miles two-way active. A national Internet Protocol (IP) infrastructure interconnects all Charter markets.
For the year ended December 31, 2009, we generated approximately $6.8 billion in revenue, of which approximately 51% was generated from our residential video service. We also generate revenue from high-speed Internet, telephone service and advertising with residential and commercial high-speed Internet and telephone service contributing the majority of the recent growth in our revenue.
As of December 31, 2009, we served approximately 5.3 million customers. We sell our video, high-speed Internet and telephone services primarily on a subscription basis, often in a bundle of two or more services, providing savings and convenience to our customers. Bundled services are available to approximately 95% of our homes passed, and approximately 57% of our customers subscribe to a bundle of services.
We served approximately 4.8 million video customers as of December 31, 2009, of which approximately 67% subscribed to digital video service. Digital video enables our customers to access advanced services such as high definition television, OnDemand video programming, an interactive program guide and digital video recorder, or DVR service.
We also served approximately 3.1 million high-speed Internet customers as of December 31, 2009. Our high-speed Internet service is available in a variety of download speeds up to 60 Mbps. We also offer home networking service, or Wi-Fi, enabling our customers to connect up to five computers wirelessly in the home.
We provided telephone service to approximately 1.6 million customers as of December 31, 2009. Our telephone services typically include unlimited local and long distance calling to the U.S., Canada and Puerto Rico, plus more than 10 features, including voicemail, call waiting and caller ID.
Through Charter Business®, we provide scalable, tailored broadband communications solutions to business organizations, such as business-to-business Internet access, data networking, fiber connectivity to cellular towers, video and music entertainment services and business telephone. As of December 31, 2009, we served approximately 224,300 business customers, including small- and medium-sized commercial customers. Our advertising sales division, Charter Media®, provides local, regional and national businesses with the opportunity to advertise in individual markets on cable television networks.
We have a history of net losses. Our net losses were principally attributable to insufficient revenue to cover the combination of operating expenses and interest expenses we incurred because of our debt, impairment of franchises and depreciation expenses resulting from the capital investments we have made and continue to make in our cable properties. However, with our emergence from bankruptcy on November 30, 2009, we reduced our debt by approximately $8 billion, reducing our interest expense by approximately $830 million annually.

On March 27, 2009, we filed voluntary petitions in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York (the “Bankruptcy Court”), to reorganize under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code (the “Bankruptcy Code”). The Chapter 11 cases were jointly administered under the caption In re Charter Communications, Inc., et al., Case No. 09-11435. We continued to operate our businesses and owned and managed our properties as a debtor-in-possession under the jurisdiction of the Bankruptcy Court in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code until we emerged from protection under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code on November 30, 2009.
On May 7, 2009, we filed a Joint Plan of Reorganization (the “Plan”), and a related disclosure statement (the “Disclosure Statement”), with the Bankruptcy Court. The Plan was confirmed by the Bankruptcy Court on November 17, 2009 (the “Confirmation Order”), and became effective on November 30, 2009, the date on which we emerged from protection under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code.
Charter was organized as a Delaware corporation in 1999. Charter is a holding company whose principal asset is a controlling common equity interest in Charter Communications Holding Company, LLC (“Charter Holdco”). As sole manager, Charter controls the affairs of Charter Holdco and its limited liability company subsidiaries.
Recent Events
On February 28, 2010, our former President and Chief Executive Officer, Neil Smit, resigned and our Chief Operating Officer, Michael J. Lovett, assumed the additional title of Interim President and Chief Executive Officer. On April 12, 2010, we announced the appointment of Mr. Lovett as our President and Chief Executive Officer and his election as a member of the Board of Directors of Charter, effective immediately. We also announced that Eloise Schmitz, our Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, would be leaving Charter effective July 31, 2010. We are undergoing a search for a Chief Financial Officer, but no assurance can be given as to the timing or the results of such search.
On March 31, 2010, Charter Communications Operating, LLC (“Charter Operating”) and its affiliates closed on a transaction to amend and restate its senior secured credit facilities to, among other things, allow for the creation of a new revolving facility of $1.3 billion, the extension of maturities of a portion of the facilities and the amendment and restatement of certain other terms and conditions. Upon the closing, each of Bank of America, N.A. and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as agent and retiring agent, respectively, for itself and on behalf of the lenders under the Charter Operating senior secured credit facilities, agreed to dismiss with prejudice the pending appeal of our Confirmation Order pending before the Bankruptcy Court and to waive any objections to our Confirmation Order issued by the Bankruptcy Court. The lenders’ Stipulation of Dismissal and waiver of objections was filed on March 31, 2010 and the case was dismissed on April 1, 2010.
On April 14, 2010, CCO Holdings, LLC (“CCO Holdings”) entered into an agreement to sell an aggregate of $1.6 billion principal amount in two tranches of senior notes due 2018 (the “2018 Notes”) and senior notes due 2020 (the “2020 Notes”). Also on April 14, 2010, CCO Holdings announced that the 2018 Notes would be priced at 7.875% for $900 million of notes and the 2020 Notes would be priced at 8.125% for $700 million of notes. The sale of the 2018 Notes and 2020 Notes is expected to close on April 28, 2010. The net proceeds of this issuance will be used to finance the tender offers for any and all of CCO Holdings’ outstanding 8.750% senior notes due 2013 ($800 million aggregate principal amount outstanding) and any and all of Charter Operating's outstanding 8.375% senior second lien notes due 2014 ($770 million aggregate principal amount outstanding).
On April 14, 2010, we announced that (i) our revenues for the first quarter of 2010 are expected to be approximately $1.735 billion, an increase of 4.5% compared with the pro forma results of the first quarter of 2009, and (ii) operating costs and expenses (which include operating, selling, general and administrative expenses) for the first quarter of 2010 are expected to be $1.098 billion, an increase of 5.1% compared to the pro forma results of the first quarter of 2009. Pro forma revenues and operating expenses reflect the sales and acquisitions of cable systems in 2009 as if such transactions had occurred on January 1, 2009. These results are preliminary and have not been reviewed by our auditors, and as such, there can be no assurance that these results will not differ from the financial information reflected in our financial statements for such period or for the quarter ended March 31, 2010 when they

have been finalized or that they are indicative of future performance. Actual results could differ materially from those reflected above based on the factors set forth under “Risk Factors,” among others.

The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:
|
|
(i) To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;
|
|
(ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective registration statement;

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

c)
|
The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes to supply by means of a post-effective amendment all information concerning a transaction, and the company being acquired involved therein, that was not the subject of and included in the registration statement when it became effective.

The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that:
|
|
(1) For purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, the information omitted from the form of prospectus filed as part of this registration statement in reliance upon Rule 430A and contained in a form of prospectus filed by the registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b) (1) or (4) or 497(h) under the Securities Act shall be deemed to be part of this registration statement as of the time it was declared effective.

e)

The undersigned hereby undertakes to deliver or cause to be delivered with the prospectus, to each person to whom the prospectus is sent or given, the latest annual report, to security holders that is incorporated by reference in the prospectus and furnished pursuant to and meeting the requirements of Rule 14a-3 or Rule 14c-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934; and, where interim financial information required to be presented by Article 3 of Regulation S-X is not set forth in the prospectus, to deliver, or cause to be delivered to each person to whom the prospectus is sent or given, the latest quarterly report that is specifically incorporated by reference in the prospectus to provide such interim financial information.
