Guess Whose Cable Company Is Bankrupt!

Mike Paulus |

Many knew it was coming: Charter Communications is planning on filing for bankruptcy by April of this year. Noooo! How will we watch the Food Network (besides buying satellite TV)?!?!?!

Well, the company isn’t going away, and you can still rely on the snappy Charter Cable Guy showing up sometime between noon and 9pm. Charter says your service will remain the same except now it will be bankrupt and spending all afternoon at the bar piddling away the rest of its savings on Miller Lite.

The filing (filement?) should cut the TV/internet/phone provider’s debt by $8 billion, which is roughly the same amount of student loan debt accumulated by all UWEC students ever, alive or dead, times 100. [citation needed]
