Charter to Bring 200 HD Channels, Improved All-Digital Network and Faster Internet Speeds to Tennessee and Louisiana Customers

Charter to Bring 200 HD Channels, Improved All-Digital Network and Faster Internet Speeds to Tennessee and Louisiana Customers

100 percent all-digital network requires digital equipment for all TVs - customers to be notified of their conversion date and required actions one month in advance

COLUMBIA, Tenn., July 31, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Charter Communications (NASDAQ: CHTR) customers in Tennessee and Louisiana will enjoy access to more than 200 high definition (HD) channels, better picture quality and significantly faster Internet speeds as Charter completes its move to a 100 percent all-digital network throughout 2014.

http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnvar/20110526/AQ10195LOGO

"By removing outdated analog signals, we regain bandwidth in our network enabling us to provide more HD channels and open the door to faster Internet speeds and future innovation," said Charter President and CEO Tom Rutledge. "This upgrade speaks to the fact that Charter is providing our customers with the very best products at the very best value, and we've invested more than $2 billion in our fiber-rich network to make that happen."

Once the all digital upgrade is complete for all customers, Charter will double residential Internet speeds from 30 Mbps to 60 Mbps at no additional cost.

The all-digital upgrade for customers in Clarksville, Tennessee is scheduled for August 26, 2014. The project will run through the end of the year with groups of customers transitioning to an all-digital network on a rolling basis.

As part of this upgrade process, customers must take action by acquiring Charter-issued digital set-top boxes for each of their televisions.

More than 90 percent of Charter customers in Tennessee and Louisiana have adopted digital devices for at least one television in their home. With the use of set-top boxes, Charter customers will gain Video On Demand (VOD) access for every television in their home. With more than 10,000 VOD options, including more than 2,000 in HD, Charter is setting a new standard for digital video entertainment.

Charter is making it easy for customers to receive one or more digital boxes at no cost for one, two or five years, depending on the customer's programming package and other qualifying factors. Customers can obtain these digital boxes through direct shipment to their home by calling 1-888-438-2427 to request a self-installation kit, or pick up equipment at a nearby Charter store.

Charter will be communicating with customers about their scheduled upgrade date via direct mail, bill messages, outbound calls and messages that will appear on their television set prior to the cutover.

Charter has already completed all-digital upgrades in several markets, including parts of Michigan, Missouri, Texas, California, Wisconsin, South Carolina and Massachusetts. The company plans to complete the upgrade across its 29-state footprint by the end of 2014.

Customers may visit www.charter.com/digitalnow or call 1-888-GET-CHARTER (1-888-438-2427) for more information.

CRTC continuing its efforts to promote fair and sustainable competition in wireless services for Canadians

CRTC continuing its efforts to promote fair and sustainable competition in wireless services for Canadians

OTTAWA and GATINEAU, QC, July 31, 2014 /CNW/ - The Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) today announced that it is prohibiting exclusivity provisions in roaming agreements between Canadian wireless service providers to further enhance sustainable competition in the wireless market.

In December 2013, the CRTC initiated a formal public proceeding to examine whether certain wireless service providers were subjecting smaller Canadian competitors to unjustly discriminatory roaming rates, terms and conditions. The CRTC has found clear instances of unjust discrimination by Rogers Communications Partnership (Rogers).

Rogers has imposed exclusivity clauses in roaming agreements that prohibited smaller service providers from using networks from any other carrier. Additionally, they charged some new Canadian service providers significantly higher roaming rates compared to rates for other wireless service providers.

The CRTC is also currently looking at the competitive state of the wireless market and will hold a public hearing on this issue on September 29, 2014.

Quick Facts


-- The CRTC is concerned that situations of unjust discrimination do not
promote fair and sustainable competition in the wholesale wireless
market.
-- Canadian wireless service providers are now prohibited from using
exclusivity provisions in wholesale roaming agreements for service in
Canada.
-- The CRTC found clear instances of unjust discrimination by Rogers with
certain new wireless service providers in agreements regarding wholesale
roaming rates.
-- In June 2014, the Telecommunications Act was amended to include a
formula that service providers must use to calculate caps for wholesale
roaming rates. As such, the CRTC will not impose any remedy or rates for
wholesale agreements.
-- To assist in fulfilling its mandate regarding the amendment to the
Telecommunications Act, a letter was sent to wireless service providers
on July 28, 2014 requesting information on how they are calculating the
roaming caps.
-- A proceeding is ongoing to examine the competitive state of the
wholesale wireless services market and whether regulatory measures are
required in order for Canadians to have more choice for wireless
services.
Quote
"Competition in the wireless industry benefits society and the economy by providing innovative communications services at reasonable prices. But that is only the case when true and sustainable competition is at play. Today's decision will help promote fairness and a better consumer experience with wireless for Canadians."

Jean-Pierre Blais, CRTC Chairman

GRAMMY® AWARD WINNING ARTIST LORDE TO WRITE FIRST SINGLE AND CURATE SOUNDTRACK ALBUM FOR LIONSGATE'S "THE HUNGER GAMES: MOCKINGJAY - PART 1" AVAILABLE ON REPUBLIC RECORDS

GRAMMY® AWARD WINNING ARTIST LORDE TO WRITE FIRST SINGLE AND CURATE SOUNDTRACK ALBUM FOR LIONSGATE'S "THE HUNGER GAMES: MOCKINGJAY - PART 1" AVAILABLE ON REPUBLIC RECORDS

SANTA MONICA, Calif., July 31, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Lionsgate (NYSE: LGF), a premier next generation global content leader, announced today that multiplatinum GRAMMY(®) Award-winning recording star Lorde will curate the soundtrack album for the upcoming third installment of the global blockbuster The Hunger Games franchise, The Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Part 1. In addition to hand-picking the artists for The Mockingjay - Part 1 soundtrack, Lorde will provide the first single for the highly anticipated film and album. The soundtrack will be available via Republic Records this fall.

http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnvar/20110919/LA70620LOGO

The 17-year-old New Zealand native -who will embark on her third national North American tour this fall- exploded onto the scene with her Number One global hit 'Royals,' and has taken the music world by storm since the release of her critically acclaimed platinum debut album "PURE HEROINE" [LAVA/Republic Records].

Her quadruple platinum selling single 'Royals' helped earn two Billboard Music Awards for 'Best New Artist' and 'Best Rock Song,' and two GRAMMY® Awards for 'Song of the Year' and 'Best Pop Solo Performance.' She currently holds the record for 'Longest #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 by a Female Artist in 2013' and longest standing #1 for any female artist in the Billboard Alternative Chart history.

The Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Part 1, directed by Francis Lawrence and starring Academy Award winner Jennifer Lawrence, Josh Hutcherson, Liam Hemsworth and Woody Harrelson, is the latest installment in Lionsgate's global box office phenomenon based on Suzanne Collins' bestselling "Hunger Games" trilogy and will be released in theaters worldwide on November 21, 2014.

"I sat down with Lorde on the set of 'Mockingjay' this spring and I was immediately struck by how she so innately understood what we, as both fans and filmmakers, were trying to accomplish with the film. Her immense talent and keen understanding of Mockingjay's characters and themes not only have enabled her to create a song of her own that completely captures the film's essence, but her insight and passion for our project make her the perfect creative force to assemble the other songs on our soundtrack. I can't wait to share what she's done with the fans -- it is truly remarkable," said Francis Lawrence.

Lorde's unique position as both a songwriter/performer and the curator of the Mockingjay - Part 1 soundtrack album came about via her unique relationship with her music publisher, SONGS Music Publishing who was a key architect of the deal.

"Curating the soundtrack for such a hotly-anticipated film was a challenge, but I jumped at the chance," said Lorde. "The cast and story are an inspiration for all musicians participating and, as someone with cinematic leanings, being privy to a different creative process has been a unique experience. I think the soundtrack is definitely going to surprise people."

"The concept is simple: run a 10K and provide 10 meals for those struggling with hunger in your community," says Laura Frerer-Schmidt, VP/Publisher of Women's Health. "The money from the registration and fundraising efforts will go to support the nearest metropolitan area food bank. And now, with our new digital initiatives, we've made it easier for everyone to get involved."

Kicking off the event series in New York City on September 21, thousands of participants will run down the West Side Highway for the timed 10K race. The presenting sponsor, Lincoln MKC, will provide the pace car at each race.
