Nick Jeffery, who started Tuesday as the chief operating officer of Charter Communications‘ Spectrum, touted the “Great Cable Comeback” in a Day 1 post on LinkedIn.
The exec was previously CEO of Frontier Communications, which was acquired earlier this year by Verizon. He is now playing a key role at Spectrum, the consumer-facing brand for Charter’s pay-TV, broadband and wireless business.
“What drew me here is the scale of opportunity in front of us: continuing Spectrum’s transformation with a sharper focus on customer experience, a more creative go-to-market approach, and operational excellence that shows up in how things actually work for people, every day,” Jeffery wrote. He concluded the brief post with a motivational appeal, writing, “Let’s get to work. The Great Cable Comeback starts here.”
After resolving a bruising carriage standoff with Disney in 2023, the company has been able to strike unique agreements with programmers using that agreement as a template. As of the second quarter, the company said $127 per month in added value has been provided to each of its customers through the integration of Disney+, Peacock, Paramount+ and many other streamers.
As of June 30, Charter said it had 12.5 million pay-TV customers and 29.4 million internet customers.
