This prospectus includes forward-looking statements, regarding, among other things, our plans, strategies and prospects, both
business and financial. 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 section titled "Risk Factors" in this prospectus and in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 2012 (the "Annual Report") 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", "positioning,"
"designed," "create" 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, in our Annual Report and in other reports or
documents that we file from time to time with the Securities and Exchange, and include, but are not limited to:

· the ultimate outcome of any possible transaction between Charter and Time Warner Cable Inc. ("TWC") including the

possibility that Charter will not pursue a transaction with TWC;

need for innovation and the related capital expenditures and the difficult economic conditions in the United States;

· the impact of competition from other market participants, including but not limited to incumbent telephone companies,

direct broadcast satellite operators, wireless broadband and telephone providers, digital subscriber line ("DSL")
providers, and video provided over the Internet;

· general business conditions, economic uncertainty or downturn, high unemployment levels and the level of activity in the

· 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) free cash flow, or (iii) access to the
capital or credit markets; 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.

cautionary statement. We are under no duty or obligation to update any of the forward-looking statements after the date of this

SUMMARY
This summary contains a general discussion of our business, the exchange offer and summary financial information. It does
not contain all the information that you should consider before making a decision whether to tender your original notes in
exchange for new notes. For a more complete understanding of the exchange offer, you should read this entire prospectus and
the related documents to which we refer.
CCO Holdings, LLC ("CCO Holdings") is a direct subsidiary of CCH II, LLC ("CCH II"), which is an indirect subsidiary of
Charter Communications, Inc. ("Charter"). CCO Holdings is a holding company with no operations of its own. CCO
Holdings Capital Corp. ("CCO Holdings Capital") is a wholly owned subsidiary of CCO Holdings. CCO Holdings Capital is
a company with no operations of its own and no subsidiaries. CCO Holdings and its direct and indirect subsidiaries, as well
as CCO Holdings Capital, are managed by Charter. For a chart showing our ownership structure, see page 4.
Unless otherwise stated, the discussion in this prospectus of our business and operations includes the business of Charter and
its direct and indirect subsidiaries. Unless otherwise stated, all business data included in this summary is as of September 30,
2013.
CCO Holdings and CCO Holdings Capital are sometimes referred to in this prospectus collectively as the "Issuers" and
individually as an "Issuer". The terms "we," "us" and "our" refer to Charter and its direct and indirect subsidiaries on a
consolidated basis.
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 with approximately 12.8 million estimated passings, with 97% at 550 megahertz ("MHz") or greater and 97%
of plant miles two-way active. A national Internet Protocol ("IP") infrastructure interconnects Charter markets.
As of September 30, 2013, we served approximately 5.9 million residential and commercial customers. We sell our video,
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 98% of our passings, and approximately 62%
of our customers subscribe to a bundle of services.
We served approximately 4.2 million residential video customers as of September 30, 2013, and approximately 91% of our
video customers subscribed to digital video service. Digital video enables our customers to access advanced video services such
as high definition ("HD") television, Charter OnDemandTM ("OnDemand") video programming, an interactive program guide and
digital video recorder ("DVR") service.
We also served approximately 4.3 million residential Internet customers as of September 30, 2013. Our Internet service is
available in a variety of download speeds up to 100 megabits per second ("Mbps") and upload speeds of up to 5 Mbps.
We provided telephone service to approximately 2.2 million residential customers as of September 30, 2013. Our telephone
services typically include unlimited local and long distance calling to the U.S., Canada and Puerto Rico, plus other features,
including voicemail, call waiting and caller ID.

served approximately 549,000 commercial primary service units, primarily 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.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2013, we generated approximately $6.0 billion in revenue, of which
approximately 84% was generated from our residential video, Internet and telephone services. For the year ended December 31,
2012, we generated approximately $7.5 billion in revenue, of which approximately 84% was generated from our residential
video, Internet and telephone services. We also generated revenue from providing Internet, telephone and video services to
commercial businesses and from the sale of advertising. Sales from residential Internet and commercial services have contributed
to the majority of our recent revenue growth.
We have a history of net losses. Our net losses are principally attributable to insufficient revenue to cover the combination of
operating expenses, interest expenses that we incur on our debt, depreciation expenses resulting from the capital investments we
have made, and continue to make, in our cable properties, amortization expenses related to our customer relationship intangibles
and non-cash taxes resulting from increases in our deferred tax liabilities.
Charter was organized as a Delaware corporation in 1999. On March 27, 2009, we and certain affiliates 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. On May 7, 2009, we filed a Joint Plan of
Reorganization (the "Plan") and a related disclosure statement with the Bankruptcy Court. The Plan was confirmed by the
Bankruptcy Court on November 17, 2009, and became effective on November 30, 2009, the date on which we emerged from
protection under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code.
The terms "Charter," "we," "our" and "us," when used in this report with respect to the period prior to Charter's emergence from
bankruptcy, are references to the Debtors ("Predecessor") and, when used with respect to the period commencing after Charter's
emergence, are references to Charter ("Successor"). These references include the subsidiaries of Predecessor or Successor, as
the case may be, unless otherwise indicated or the context requires otherwise.
Recent Developments
Time Warner Cable
On January 13, 2014, the Company issued a press release announcing that it has sent a letter to Time Warner Cable Inc.
proposing that the companies immediately engage in discussions to conclude a merger agreement to combine the companies.
Certain Legal Matters
In 2010, the Montana Department of Revenue ("DOR") assessed all the Montana property of Bresnan Communications, LLC
("Bresnan"), an indirect subsidiary of the issuers, at the higher telephone company rate rather than assessing its cable and phone
property separately as it had done in the past. The Montana DOR also retroactively assessed Bresnan's property at the higher rate
for 2007 through 2009, which could be up to approximately $16 million. Bresnan prevailed before the trial court but the Montana
DOR appealed to the Montana Supreme Court. On December 2, 2013, the Montana Supreme Court reversed the trial court's
ruling, holding that Bresnan's property should be assessed at the telephone company rate. The Montana Supreme Court remanded
the case back to the trial court for further proceedings which have not yet occurred. Despite the Montana Supreme Court's ruling,
Bresnan intends to vigorously challenge the Montana DOR's property tax assessments in those further proceedings. With respect
to the Montana Supreme Court ruling, Bresnan's primary remaining course of action is an appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court within
90 days of the final decision. A decision has not been made as to whether this appeal will be pursued.

On January 15, 2014, the California Department of Justice, in conjunction with the Alameda County, California District
Attorney's Office, initiated an investigation into whether Charter's waste disposal policies, practices, and procedures violate the
provisions of the California Health and Safety Code, the California Hazardous Waste Control Law, and any of their related
regulations. Charter intends to cooperate with the investigation. Although this investigation has only just commenced, at this time
Charter does not expect that its outcome will have a material effect on our operations, financial condition, or cash flows.
Corporate Matters
Effective December 31, 2013, Charter contributed all of its 30% preferred equity in CC VIII, LLC ("CC VIII") through
intermediary subsidiaries to CCH I, LLC, resulting in CCH I, LLC holding 100% of the preferred equity in CC VIII, LLC. See
