Charter Communications to file bankruptcy by April 1, 2009

From CNN

Char­ter Com­mu­ni­ca­tions Inc. (CHTR) will file for bank­ruptcy pro­tec­tion by April 1 as part of an agree­ment with some of its debt hold­ers to reduce its debt by about $8 billion…

The com­pany said it lost 75,100 net basic video cus­tomers, more than it lost in the prior-year’s fourth quar­ter. It gained 63% fewer dig­i­tal video cus­tomers, 55% fewer high-speed Inter­net cus­tomers and 52% fewer tele­phone cus­tomers than a year earlier.

The com­pany said it expected a $1.5 bil­lion good­will write-down for the fourth quar­ter, and said cap­i­tal spend­ing would be about $264 mil­lion, 25% lower than a year earlier.

No infor­ma­tion is avail­able yet on whether there will be an impact on local service
