Let’s get a move on, FCC.
That was the message Time Warner Cable chairman and CEO Rob Marcus had for the Federal Communications Commission on Thursday during the cable provider’s third quarter 2015 investor call. Of course, Marcus expressed his eagerness to move forward with his company’s acquisition by Charter Communications in a gentler way than that.
“I’m not terribly good on predicting when regulators will act on our deals,” Marcus told market analysts this morning.
But most states that the companies need have approved the merger, as have the key local franchises, he added.
Marcus hopes the FCC “will begin to engage in earnest” towards buttoning this thing up in a matter of weeks.
