ST. LOUIS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nov. 8, 2007--Charter Communications, Inc. (NASDAQ: CHTR) (the "Company" or "Charter") today reminded investors of Charter's Shareholder Rights Plan, filed in August 2007, in light of heavy trading volume today.

Charter reminds investors that, on August 13, 2007, the Company adopted a Shareholder Rights Plan (or "Poison Pill") as an attempt to protect the net operating losses of the Company. By diluting the "acquiring person," the Rights Plan discourages stockholders from becoming 5% holders, and holders of 5% or more of the Company's outstanding common stock from acquiring additional shares, without the Board's approval.

Charter advises investors to refer to its Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") on August 15, 2007 for further information.
