Time Warner Cable, Charter Eye Bright House Networks

Wall Street Journal: The collapse of Comcast’s bid to acquire Time Warner Cable has led to a flurry of talks in the cable industry over other possible deals. And there is an unlikely player at the center of the unfolding drama: the Newhouse family’s Bright House Networks. In the week since Comcast’s deal fell apart, Time Warner Cable and Charter Communications are said to have separately been in touch with Bright House at the highest levels to discuss an acquisition of the company.
