Time Warner Cable Inc. (TWC) Stock Chart Over The Past Five Years [17]<\/p><\/div>A few weeks ago, Time Warner Cable reported its 2013 third quarter results, which ended on September 30th<\/sup>.\u00a0 Regarding financials for this quarter, Time Warner Cable\u2019s total revenue of 5.5 billion grew 2.9% from its 5.3 billion last year (9\/30\/2012). [13]<\/a> Its share price today is 121.53 and has been trending steadily upward, along with its whole sector, for the last five years. [14]<\/a> The company took a hit with subscriber activity this quarter as customer relationships dropped from 15.2 million (9\/30\/2012) to 15.1 (9\/30\/2013).\u00a0 In addition, residential video subscribers and residential voice subscribers decreased from 12.1 million (9\/30\/2012) to 11.4 (9\/30\/2013) and from 4.9 million (9\/30\/2012) to 4.8 million (9\/30\/2013), respectively.\u00a0 In contrast, residential high- speed data subscribers increased from 10.8 million (9\/30\/2012) to 11.1 million (9\/30\/2013).

[20]<\/p><\/div>Time Warner Cable began this fall closing a retransmission contract deal with CBS<\/a>.\u00a0 This agreement finally ended the month long blackout, during which three million Time Warner Cable subscribers did not have access to CBS programming. The blackout affected major markets such as Los Angeles and New York and Time Warner Cable was eager to meet a deal as the NFL season<\/a> was rapidly approaching. [18]<\/a> This vastly dragged out dispute greatly contributed, this past third quarter, to the company\u2019s steepest quarterly loss of television subscribers in its history.\u00a0 At an attempt to stop its loss of customers, Time Warner Cable dispersed credits to its subscribers of Showtime<\/a>, CBS\u2019 premium cable channel, ultimately losing around $15 million. [19]
\n<\/a><\/p>\n
 <\/p>\n
\"[23]\"<\/a>
[23]<\/p><\/div>Time Warner Cable has been working and succeeding to reach a larger number of business customers.\u00a0 Third quarter reports displayed business services revenue increased 20.5% from 493 million (9\/30\/2013) to 594 million (9\/30\/2013). [16]<\/a> Last month, Time Warner Cable came into an agreement to buy DukeNet Communications<\/a>.\u00a0 This deal with Duke Energy Corporation<\/a> and Alinda Capital Partners<\/a>, who currently own DukeNet, is planned to close in the first quarter of next year costing Time Warner Cable $600 million. [21]<\/a> DukeNet Communications is a fiber optic network company reaching seven states in the Southeast of the country, as they are centered in Charlotte, NC. This is key for Time Warner Cable\u2019s business customer base growth, as DukeNet offers data and high capacity bandwidth services to customers including wireless carriers, data centers, enterprises and government affiliates. [22]<\/a><\/p>\n
 <\/p>\n
\"TWC's<\/a>
TWC’s Wifi Finder app helps locate the nearest hotspot. [25]<\/p><\/div>As well as its DukeNet deal, Time Warner Cable has been making huge progress in the Charlotte region.\u00a0 Making a multimillion-dollar investment in a public WiFi network back in 2012, the Charlotte network has grown from its original 200 hotspots to 1,700 today.\u00a0 These hotspots<\/a> allow people to have a great Internet connection outside of their home in various places throughout the city.\u00a0 Time Warner Cable Internet subscribers have free access and non-subscribers can use the hotspots on a pay-as-you-go basis.\u00a0 The project has a big future as Time Warner Cable is working on implementing its hotspot network in New York City, Austin, Kansas City, Hawaii and Southern California. With a strong focus on its business customers, Time Warner Cable will soon be able to efficiently keep people connected outside the office and home. [24]<\/a><\/p>\n
 <\/p>\n
\"[28]\"<\/a>
[28]<\/p><\/div>Time Warner Cable has recently made a deal with Univision Communications Inc.<\/a> that will positively influence its reach to the Hispanic America community. The renewal of their previous agreement had expanded the variety of Hispanic networks and content for Time Warner Cable subscribers. Univision is allowing Time Warner Cable to be one of the first distributors to provide its new cable network, El Ray<\/a>. As an English language network, El Ray targets adolescents and plans on having diverse entertainment content ranging from television series to movies and sports. [26]<\/a> Also, customers will now have access to other new networks including, Univision Deportes<\/a>, FOROtv<\/a> and tlNovelas<\/a>. The deal further entails a multiplatform distribution plan, where Time Warner Cable subscribers will be able to receive content through VOD and digital platforms. Univision\u2019s UVideos and Univision Deportes digital properties will now also be available for Time Warner Cable customers. [27]<\/a><\/p>\n

[32]<\/p><\/div>Along with Univision, A+E Networks<\/a> and Sprout<\/a> have also recently renewed their distribution agreements with Time Warner Cable.\u00a0 As a multi-platform deal between A+E and Time Warner Cable, customers will be provided with A+E\u2019s diverse networks and will have authenticated access to their corresponding apps.\u00a0 In addition to receiving networks such as A&E<\/a>, Lifetime<\/a>, and HISTORY<\/a>, \u201cTV Everywhere\u201d content for Time Warner Cable\u2019s out of home platforms and VOD content will be offered.
