Description Of Business And Basis Of Presentation Disclosure [Abstract]	'
Description of Business and Basis of Presentation Disclosure	'
	1.       DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
	Description of Business
	Time Warner Cable Inc. (together with its subsidiaries, “TWC” or the “Company”) is among the largest providers of video, high-speed data and voice services in the U.S., with technologically advanced, well-clustered cable systems located mainly in five geographic areas – New York State (including New York City), the Carolinas, the Midwest (including Ohio, Kentucky and Wisconsin), Southern California (including Los Angeles) and Texas. TWC's mission is to connect its customers to the world—simply, reliably and with superior service. TWC offers video, high-speed data and voice services to residential and business services customers. TWC's residential services also include security and home management services, and TWC's business services also include networking and transport services (including cell tower backhaul services) and enterprise-class, cloud-enabled hosting, managed applications and services. TWC also sells video and online advertising inventory to a variety of local, regional and national customers.
	On February 12, 2014, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger with Comcast Corporation (“Comcast”) whereby the Company agreed to merge with and into a 100% owned subsidiary of Comcast. Upon completion of the merger, all of the outstanding shares of the Company will be cancelled and each issued and outstanding share will be converted into the right to receive 2.875 shares of Class A common stock of Comcast. The merger is subject to the approval of the Company's and Comcast's stockholders, regulatory approvals and certain other closing conditions.
	On January 13, 2014, Charter Communications, Inc. (“Charter”) made an unsolicited proposal to acquire the Company. After careful consideration, including a thorough review of the offer with its financial and legal advisors, TWC's Board of Directors (“TWC's Board”) unanimously determined that Charter's offer was grossly inadequate, substantially undervalued the Company and was not in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders. On February 11, 2014, Charter provided formal notice to the Company of its nomination of a slate of thirteen independent candidates for election to TWC's Board at the Company's 2014 annual meeting of stockholders. In addition to nominating the slate of independent candidates for election to TWC's Board, Charter also proposed that the stockholders amend the Company's by-laws to fix the size of TWC's Board at thirteen members and to repeal any amendments to the by-laws that were adopted by TWC's Board without stockholder approval after July 26, 2012.
	Basis of Presentation
	Changes in Basis of Presentation
	Effective in the first quarter of 2014, the Company determined it has three reportable segments: Residential Services, Business Services and Other Operations. The Company's reportable segments have been determined based on how management evaluates and manages the business. The Company has recast its financial information and disclosures for prior periods to reflect the segment disclosures as if the current presentation had been in effect throughout all periods presented. Refer to Note 16 for further information regarding the Company's segment information.
	Additionally, during the first quarter of 2014, the Company revised its categorization of operating costs and expenses to be consistent with how such costs and expenses are presented to management and to provide a more meaningful presentation. The Company has recast the consolidated financial statements, financial information and disclosures of operating costs and expenses for prior periods to reflect the new categorization, which had no impact on total operating costs and expenses, Operating Income or net income attributable to TWC shareholders for any period presented. The Company's operating costs and expenses are presented in the following categories: (i) programming and content, (ii) sales and marketing, (iii) technical operations, (iv) customer care and (v) other operating costs.
	Except as related to the matters discussed above that have led to the recast financial information presented herein, the disclosures contained herein have not been updated to reflect other transactions and/or events from those disclosures contained in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013 (the “2013 Form 10-K”); accordingly, the financial and other information herein should be read in conjunction with the Company's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2014 and the 2013 Form 10-K.
	Basis of Consolidation
	The consolidated financial statements include all of the assets, liabilities, revenue, expenses and cash flows of TWC and all entities in which TWC has a controlling voting interest. The consolidated financial statements include the results of the Time Warner Entertainment-Advance/Newhouse Partnership (“TWE-A/N”) only for the TWE-A/N cable systems that are controlled by TWC and for which TWC holds an economic interest. Intercompany accounts and transactions between consolidated companies have been eliminated in consolidation.
	Use of Estimates
	The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates inherent in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements include accounting for allowances for doubtful accounts, depreciation and amortization, business combinations, derivative financial instruments, pension benefits, equity-based compensation, income taxes, loss contingencies, certain programming arrangements and asset impairments. Allocation methodologies used to prepare the consolidated financial statements are based on estimates and have been described in the notes, where appropriate.
	Reclassifications
	As discussed above, certain reclassifications have been made to the prior year financial information to conform to the current year presentation.

	Dec. 31, 2013
Summary Of Significant Accounting Policies Disclosure [Abstract]	'
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Disclosure	'
	2.       SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
	Cash and Equivalents
	Cash and equivalents include money market funds, overnight deposits and other investments that are readily convertible into cash and have original maturities of three months or less. Cash equivalents are carried at cost, which approximates fair value.
	Short-term Investments in U.S. Treasury Securities
	The Company purchases short-term investments in U.S. Treasury securities from time to time that have original maturities of six months. Such investments are classified as held-to-maturity and stated at amortized cost, which approximates fair value, in the consolidated balance sheet.
	Accounts Receivable
	Accounts receivable are recorded at net realizable value. The Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts, which is determined after considering past collection experience, aging of accounts receivable, general economic factors and other considerations. Changes in the Company's allowance for doubtful accounts from January 1 through December 31 are presented below (in millions):
		2013		2012		2011
	Balance at beginning of year	$	65	$	62	$	74
	Provision for bad debts(a)		249		224		221
	Write-offs, net of recoveries		-237		-221		-233
	Balance at end of year	$	77	$	65	$	62
	——————————
	Provision for bad debts includes amounts charged to expense associated with the Company's allowance for doubtful accounts and excludes collection expenses and the benefit from late fees billed to subscribers.
	Investments
	Investments in companies in which TWC has significant influence, but less than a controlling interest, are accounted for using the equity method of accounting. Under the equity method of accounting, only TWC's investment in and amounts due to and from the equity investee are included in the consolidated balance sheet; only TWC's share of the investee's earnings (losses) is included in the consolidated statement of operations; and only the dividends, cash distributions, loans or other cash received from the investee, additional cash investments, loan repayments or other cash paid to the investee are included in the consolidated statement of cash flows. TWC's investments are primarily accounted for using the equity method of accounting.
	Property, Plant and Equipment
	Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost, and depreciation on these assets is provided using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives. TWC incurs expenditures associated with the construction of its cable systems. Costs associated with the construction of transmission and distribution facilities are capitalized. With respect to customer premise equipment, which includes set-top boxes and high-speed data and telephone modems, TWC capitalizes installation costs only upon the initial deployment of these assets. All costs incurred in subsequent disconnects and reconnects of previously installed customer premise equipment are expensed as incurred. TWC uses standard capitalization rates to capitalize installation activities. Significant judgment is involved in the development of these capitalization standards, including the average time required to perform an installation and the determination of the nature and amount of indirect costs to be capitalized. The capitalization standards are reviewed at least annually and adjusted, if necessary, based on comparisons to actual costs incurred. TWC generally capitalizes expenditures for tangible fixed assets having a useful life of greater than one year. Capitalized costs include direct material, labor and overhead, as well as interest. The costs associated with the repair and maintenance of existing tangible fixed assets are expensed as incurred.
	The Company's property, plant and equipment and related accumulated depreciation as of December 31, 2013 and 2012 consisted of the following:
						Estimated
		December 31,				Useful
		2013		2012		Lives

	Accumulated depreciation		-20,563		-18,530
	Property, plant and equipment, net	$	15,056	$	14,742
	——————————
	Land, buildings and improvements includes $173 million and $170 million related to land as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively, which is not depreciated. The weighted-average useful life is approximately 17.38 years for buildings and improvements.
	The weighted-average useful life is approximately 13.19 years for distribution systems.
	Capitalized software costs reflect certain costs incurred for the development of internal use software, including costs associated with coding, software configuration, upgrades and enhancements. These costs, net of accumulated depreciation, totaled $801 million and $738 million as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. Depreciation of capitalized software costs was $270 million in 2013, $237 million in 2012 and $209 million in 2011.
	Intangible Assets and Goodwill
	TWC's finite-lived intangible assets consist primarily of customer relationships, cable franchise renewals and access rights. Acquired customer relationships are capitalized and amortized over their estimated useful lives and costs to negotiate and renew cable franchise rights are capitalized and amortized over the term of the new franchise agreement.
	TWC's indefinite-lived intangible assets consist of cable franchise rights that are acquired in an acquisition of a business. Goodwill is recorded for the excess of the acquisition cost of an acquired entity over the estimated fair value of the identifiable net assets acquired. TWC does not amortize cable franchise rights or goodwill.
	Fair Value Estimates
	Business Combinations
	The Company must estimate the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed whenever it acquires another business. This requires judgments regarding the identification of acquired assets and liabilities assumed, some of which may not have been previously recorded by the acquired business, as well as judgments regarding the valuation of all identified acquired assets and assumed liabilities. The Company determines the assets acquired and liabilities assumed by reviewing the operations, interviewing management and reviewing the financial, contractual and regulatory information of the acquired business. An example of judgment involved is the determination of whether a pre-acquisition contingency, whose fair value cannot be determined, should be recorded as an assumed liability because the risk of loss is both probable and reasonably estimable. A failure to identify such a liability or to inappropriately record a liability could result in an understatement or overstatement of both liabilities and goodwill. Once the acquired assets and assumed liabilities are identified, the Company estimates the fair values of the assets and liabilities using a variety of approaches that require significant judgments. For example, intangible assets are typically valued using a discounted cash flow (“DCF”) model which requires estimates of the future cash flows that are attributable to the intangible asset. A DCF analysis also requires significant judgments regarding the selection of discount rates that are intended to reflect the risks that are inherent in the projected cash flows, the determination of terminal growth rates, and judgments about the useful life and pattern of use of the underlying intangible asset. As another example, the valuation of acquired property, plant and equipment requires judgments about current market values, replacement costs, the physical and functional obsolescence of the asset and its remaining useful life. A failure to appropriately assign fair values to acquired assets and assumed liabilities could significantly impact the amount and timing of future depreciation and amortization expense, as well as significantly overstate or understate the Company's assets or liabilities. Refer to Note 4 for further details.
	Derivative Financial Instruments
	The Company recognizes all derivative financial instruments in the consolidated balance sheet as either assets or liabilities at fair value. Derivative financial instruments are designated, if certain conditions are met, as either (a) a hedge of the exposure to changes in the fair value of a recognized asset or liability or an unrecognized firm commitment (a “fair value hedge”) or (b) a hedge of the exposure to variable cash flows of a forecasted transaction or a hedge of the foreign currency exposure of a forecasted transaction denominated in a foreign currency (a “cash flow hedge”). For a derivative financial instrument designated as a fair value hedge (e.g., the Company's interest rate swaps), the gain or loss on the derivative financial instrument is recognized in earnings in the period of change together with the offsetting loss or gain on the hedged item attributable to the risk being hedged. As a result, the consolidated statement of operations includes the impact of changes in the fair value of both the derivative financial instrument and the hedged item, which reflects in earnings the extent to which the hedge is ineffective in achieving offsetting changes in fair value. For a derivative financial instrument designated as a cash flow hedge (e.g., the Company's cross-currency swaps), the effective portion of the gain or loss on the derivative financial instrument is initially reported in equity as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), net, and subsequently reclassified into earnings when the hedged item (e.g., a forecasted transaction denominated in a foreign currency) affects earnings. The ineffective portion of the gain or loss is reported in earnings immediately. For a derivative financial instrument not designated as a hedging instrument (e.g., the equity award reimbursement obligation to Time Warner Inc. (“Time Warner”)), the gain or loss is recognized in earnings in the period of change. The Company uses derivative financial instruments primarily to manage the risks associated with fluctuations in interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates and does not enter into derivative financial instruments for speculative or trading purposes.
	The Company determines the fair value of its interest rate swaps using a DCF analysis based on the terms of the contract. This requires estimates of future interest rates and judgments about the future credit worthiness of the Company and each counterparty over the terms of the contracts. Similarly, the Company determines the fair value of its cross-currency swaps using a DCF analysis based on the terms of the contracts. This valuation requires estimates of future interest rates, forward exchange rates and judgments about the future credit worthiness of the Company and each counterparty over the terms of the contracts. The fair value of the equity award reimbursement obligation to Time Warner is estimated using the Black-Scholes model. Refer to Note 9 for further details.
	Indefinite-lived Intangible Assets and Goodwill
	At least annually, the Company performs separate tests to determine if its indefinite lived intangible assets (primarily cable franchise rights) and its goodwill are impaired. Under the accounting rules, the Company can elect to perform a qualitative assessment to determine if an impairment is more likely than not to have occurred. If an impairment is more likely than not to have occurred, then a quantitative assessment is required, which may or may not result in an impairment charge. The determination of whether an impairment is more likely than not to have occurred requires significant judgment regarding potential changes in valuation inputs and includes a review of the Company's most recent long-range projections, analysis of operating results versus the prior year, changes in market values, changes in discount rates and changes in terminal growth rate assumptions. Refer to Note 6 for further details.
	Long-lived Assets
	Long-lived assets (e.g., property, plant and equipment and finite-lived intangible assets) do not require an annual impairment test; instead, long-lived assets are tested for impairment upon the occurrence of a triggering event. Triggering events include the more likely than not disposal of a portion of such assets or the occurrence of an adverse change in the market involving the business employing the related assets. Once a triggering event has occurred, the impairment test is based on whether the intent is to hold the asset for continued use or to hold the asset for sale. If the intent is to hold the asset for continued use, the impairment test first requires a comparison of estimated undiscounted future cash flows generated by the asset group against the carrying value of the asset group. If the carrying value of the asset group exceeds the estimated undiscounted future cash flows, the asset would be deemed to be impaired. The impairment charge would then be measured as the difference between the estimated fair value of the asset and its carrying value. Fair value is generally determined by discounting the future cash flows associated with that asset. If the intent is to hold the asset for sale and certain other criteria are met (e.g., the asset can be disposed of currently, appropriate levels of authority have approved the sale, and there is an active program to locate a buyer), the impairment test involves comparing the asset's carrying value to its estimated fair value. To the extent the carrying value is greater than the asset's estimated fair value, an impairment charge is recognized for the difference. Significant judgments in this area involve determining whether a triggering event has occurred, determining the future cash flows for the assets involved and selecting the appropriate discount rate to be applied in determining estimated fair value.
	In early 2012, TWC ceased making its existing wireless service available to new wireless customers. As a result, during the fourth quarter of 2011, the Company impaired $60 million of assets related to the provision of wireless service that would no longer be utilized, of which a portion related to property, plant and equipment. Refer to Note 5 for further details.
	Investments
	The carrying value of investments accounted for using the equity method of accounting is adjusted downward to reflect any other-than-temporary declines in value. A subjective aspect of accounting for investments involves determining whether an other-than-temporary decline in value of the investment has been sustained. If it has been determined that an investment has sustained an other-than-temporary decline in its value, the investment is written down to its fair value by a charge to earnings. This evaluation is dependent on the specific facts and circumstances. TWC evaluates available information (e.g., budgets, business plans, financial statements, etc.) in addition to quoted market prices, if any, in determining whether an other-than-temporary decline in value exists. Factors indicative of an other-than-temporary decline include recurring operating losses, credit defaults and subsequent rounds of financing at an amount below the cost basis of the Company's investment. This list is not all-inclusive and the Company weighs all known quantitative and qualitative factors in determining if an other-than-temporary decline in the value of an investment has occurred. Refer to Note 5 for further details.
	Fair Value Measurements
	The fair value of an asset or liability is based on the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Valuation techniques consistent with the market approach, income approach and/or cost approach are used to measure fair value. The Company follows a three-tiered fair value hierarchy when determining the inputs to valuation techniques. The fair value hierarchy prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques into three broad levels in order to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. The levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:
	Level 1: consists of financial instruments whose values are based on quoted market prices for identical financial instruments in an active market.
	Level 2: consists of financial instruments whose values are determined using models or other valuation methodologies that utilize inputs that are observable either directly or indirectly, including (i) quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, (ii) quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, (iii) pricing models whose inputs are observable for substantially the full term of the financial instrument and (iv) pricing models whose inputs are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data through correlation or other means for substantially the full term of the financial instrument.
	Level 3: consists of financial instruments whose values are determined using pricing models that utilize significant inputs that are primarily unobservable, DCF methodologies, or similar techniques, as well as instruments for which the determination of fair value requires significant management judgment or estimation.
	Pension Plans
	TWC sponsors the TWC Pension Plan (as defined in Note 13) and the Union Pension Plan (as defined in Note 13), both qualified defined benefit pension plans, that together provide pension benefits to a majority of the Company's employees. TWC also provides a nonqualified defined benefit pension plan for certain employees. Pension benefits are based on formulas that reflect the employees' years of service and compensation during their employment period. The pension expense recognized by the Company is determined using certain assumptions, including the expected long-term rate of return on plan assets, discount rate and expected rate of compensation increases.
	Equity-based Compensation
	The Company measures the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the grant date fair value of the award. That cost is recognized in the consolidated statement of operations over the period during which an employee is required to provide service in exchange for the award. The Company's policy is to recognize the cost of awards not subject to performance-based vesting conditions on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period and, for awards subject to performance-based vesting conditions deemed probable of being met, over the requisite service period for each separately vesting tranche of awards. The Company uses the Black-Scholes model to estimate the grant date fair value of a stock option. Because the option-pricing model requires the use of subjective assumptions, changes in these assumptions can materially affect the fair value of stock options granted. The volatility assumption is calculated using the implied volatility of TWC traded options. The expected term, which represents the period of time that options are expected to be outstanding, is estimated based on the historical exercise experience of TWC employees. The risk-free rate assumed in valuing the stock options is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant for the expected term of the option. The Company determines the expected dividend yield percentage by dividing the expected annual dividend by the market price of TWC common stock at the date of grant.
	Segments
	Public companies are required to disclose certain information about their reportable operating segments. Operating segments are defined as significant components of an enterprise for which separate financial information is available and is evaluated on a regular basis by the chief operating decision makers in deciding how to allocate resources to an individual operating segment and in assessing performance of the operating segment.
Effective in the first quarter of 2014, the Company determined it has three reportable segments, which have been determined based on how management evaluates and manages the business. The Company has recast its financial information and disclosures for prior periods to reflect the segment disclosures as if the current presentation had been in effect throughout all periods presented.
The Company classifies its operations into the following reportable segments:
Residential Services, which principally consists of video, high-speed data and voice services provided to residential customers as well as other residential services, including home automation and monitoring.
Business Services, which principally consists of data, video and voice services provided to business customers as well as other business services, including enterprise-class, cloud-enabled hosting, managed applications and services.
Other Operations, which principally consists of (i) Time Warner Cable Media (“TWC Media”), the advertising arm of TWC, (ii) TWC-owned and/or operated regional sports networks (“RSNs”) and local sports, news and lifestyle channels (e.g., Time Warner Cable News NY1) and (iii) other operating revenues and costs, including those derived from the Advance/Newhouse Partnership and home shopping network-related services. The business units reflected in the Other Operations segment individually do not meet the thresholds to be reported as separate reportable segments.
Refer to Note 16 for further details.
Revenue and Costs
The Company's revenue consists of the revenue generated by each of its reportable segments: Residential Services, Business Services and Other Operations.
Residential Services segment revenue consists of (i) video revenue, including subscriber fees received from residential customers for the Company's various tiers or packages of video programming services, related equipment rental charges, installation charges and fees collected on behalf of local franchising authorities and the Federal Communications Commission, as well as revenue from the sale of premium networks, transactional video-on-demand (e.g., events and movies) and digital video recorder service; (ii) high-speed data revenue, including subscriber fees received from residential customers for the Company's high-speed data services and related equipment rental and installation charges; (iii) voice revenue, including subscriber fees received from residential customers for the Company's voice services, along with related installation charges, as well as fees collected on behalf of governmental authorities and (iv) other revenue, including revenue from security and home management services and other residential subscriber-related fees.
Business Services segment revenue consists of (i) video revenue, including the same fee categories received from business video subscribers as described above under residential video revenue; (ii) high-speed data revenue, including subscriber fees received from business customers for the Company's high-speed data services and related installation charges, as well as amounts generated by the sale of commercial networking and point-to-point transport services, such as Metro Ethernet services; (iii) voice revenue, including subscriber fees received from business customers for the Company's voice services, along with related installation charges, as well as fees collected on behalf of governmental authorities; (iv) wholesale transport revenue, including amounts generated by the sale of point-to-point transport services offered to wireless telephone providers (i.e., cell tower backhaul) and other carriers and (v) other revenue, including revenue from enterprise-class, cloud-enabled hosting, managed applications and services and other business subscriber-related fees.
Residential and business services subscriber fees are recorded as revenue in the period during which the service is provided. Residential and business services revenue received from subscribers who purchase bundled services at a discounted rate is allocated to each product in a pro-rata manner based on the individual product's selling price (generally, the price at which the product is regularly sold on a standalone basis). Revenue recognition for bundled services is discussed further in “—Multiple-element Transactions—Sales of Multiple Products or Services” below. Installation revenue obtained from subscriber service connections is recognized as a component of residential and business services revenue when the connections are completed, as installation revenue recognized is less than the related direct selling costs.
Video programming, high-speed data connectivity and voice network costs are recorded as the services are provided. Video programming costs are recorded based on the Company's contractual agreements with its programming vendors, which are generally multi-year agreements that provide for the Company to make payments to the programming vendors at agreed upon rates based on the number of subscribers to which the Company provides the programming service. If a programming contract expires prior to the parties' entry into a new agreement and the Company continues to distribute the service, management estimates the programming costs during contract negotiations. In doing so, management considers the previous contractual rates, inflation and the status of the negotiations in determining its estimates. When the programming contract terms are finalized, an adjustment to programming expense is recorded, if necessary, to reflect the terms of the new contract. Management also makes estimates in the recognition of programming expense related to other items, such as the accounting for free periods and credits from service interruptions, as well as the allocation of consideration exchanged between the parties in multiple-element transactions. Additionally, judgments are also required by management when the Company purchases multiple services from the same programming vendor. In these scenarios, the total consideration provided to the programming vendor is allocated to the various services received based upon their respective estimated fair values. Because multiple services from the same programming vendor may be received over different contractual periods and may have different contractual rates, the allocation of consideration to the individual services may have an impact on the timing of the Company's expense recognition. Accounting for consideration exchanged between the parties in multiple-element transactions is discussed further in “—Multiple-element Transactions—Contemporaneous Purchases and Sales” below.
Launch fees received by the Company from programming vendors are recognized as a reduction of expense on a straight-line basis over the term of the related programming arrangement. Amounts received from programming vendors representing the reimbursement of marketing costs are recognized as a reduction of marketing expense as the marketing services are provided.
Other Operations segment revenue consists of advertising revenue and other revenue. Advertising revenue is generated through TWC Media's sale of video and online advertising inventory to local, regional and national advertising customers. Advertising revenue is recognized in the period during which the advertisements are exhibited. Advertising costs are expensed upon the first exhibition of the related advertisements. Marketing expense (including advertising), net of certain reimbursements from programmers, was $676 million in 2013, $653 million in 2012 and $635 million in 2011. Other revenue primarily includes (i) beginning in the fourth quarter of 2012, fees received from distributors of the Company's two Los Angeles regional sports networks (Time Warner Cable SportsNet and Time Warner Cable Deportes) launched on October1, 2012 that carry Los Angeles Lakers' basketball games and other sports programming; (ii) fees paid to TWC by the Advance/Newhouse Partnership for (a) the ability to distribute the Company's high-speed data service and (b) TWC's management of certain functions, including, among others, the acquisition of programming rights, as well as the provision of certain functions, including engineering; and (iii) home shopping network-related revenue (including commissions earned on the sale of merchandise and carriage fees). Fees paid to TWC for the ability to distribute TWC's services are recognized as revenue in the period in which TWC's services are distributed to a consumer. Fees received for managing certain functions for the Advance/Newhouse Partnership are recognized as revenue in the period during which the management functions are performed. Home shopping network-related revenue is recognized as revenue in the period during which the merchandise is sold or the carriage fees are earned.
In February 2014, the Company expects American Media Productions, LLC (“American Media Productions”), an unaffiliated third party, to launch SportsNet LA, a regional sports network that will carry the Los Angeles Dodgers' baseball games and other sports programming. In accordance with long-term agreements with American Media Productions, TWC will act as the network's exclusive advertising and affiliate sales agent and will have certain branding and programming rights with respect to the network. In addition, TWC will provide certain production and technical services to American Media Productions. Upon the launch of SportsNet LA, related revenue, including intersegment revenue, and expenses will be included in the Company's Other Operations segment.
Multiple-element Transactions
Multiple-element transactions involve situations where judgment must be exercised in determining the fair value of the different elements in a bundled transaction. As the term is used here, multiple-element transactions can involve (i) contemporaneous purchases and sales (e.g., the Company sells advertising services to a customer and at the same time purchases programming services) and/or (ii) sales of multiple products and/or services (e.g., the Company sells video, high-speed data and voice services to a customer).
Contemporaneous Purchases and Sales
In the normal course of business, TWC enters into multiple-element transactions where the Company is simultaneously both a customer and a vendor with the same counterparty. For example, when negotiating the terms of programming purchase contracts with cable networks, TWC may at the same time negotiate for the sale of advertising to the same cable network. Arrangements, although negotiated contemporaneously, may be documented in one or more contracts.
The Company's accounting policy for each transaction negotiated contemporaneously is to record each element of the transaction based on the respective estimated fair values of the products or services purchased and the products or services sold. The judgments made in determining fair value in such transactions impact the amount of revenue, expenses and net income recognized over the respective terms of the transactions, as well as the respective periods in which they are recognized.
In determining the fair value of the respective elements, TWC refers to quoted market prices (where available), historical transactions or comparable cash transactions. The most frequent transactions of this type that the Company encounters involve funds received from its vendors. The Company records cash consideration received from a vendor as a reduction in the price of the vendor's product unless (i) the consideration is for the reimbursement of a specific, incremental, identifiable cost incurred, in which case the Company would record the cash consideration received as a reduction in such cost or (ii) the Company is providing an identifiable benefit in exchange for the consideration, in which case the Company recognizes revenue for this element.
With respect to vendor advertising arrangements being negotiated simultaneously with the same cable network, TWC assesses whether each piece of the arrangement is at fair value. The factors that are considered in determining the individual fair value of the programming vary from arrangement to arrangement and include (i) the existence of a “most-favored-nation” clause or comparable assurances as to fair market value with respect to programming, (ii) a comparison to fees paid under a prior contract and (iii) a comparison to fees paid for similar networks. In determining the fair value of the advertising arrangement, the Company considers advertising rates paid by other advertisers on the Company's systems with similar terms.
Sales of Multiple Products or Services
If the Company enters into sales contracts for the sale of multiple products or services, then the Company evaluates standalone selling price for each deliverable in the transaction.  For example, the Company sells video, high-speed data and voice services to subscribers in a bundled package at a rate lower than if the subscriber purchases each product on an individual basis.  Revenue received from such subscribers is allocated to each product in a pro-rata manner based on the standalone selling price of each of the respective services on an individual basis. As another example, if a subscriber moves from a bundled package containing two services to a bundled package containing three services, the increase in the total revenue received is not attributed to the additional service. Rather, the total revenue received from such subscribers are allocated to each of the three products in a pro-rata manner based on the relative selling price of each of the respective services on an individual basis.
Gross Versus Net Revenue Recognition
In the normal course of business, the Company acts as or uses an intermediary or agent in executing transactions with third parties. The accounting issue presented by these arrangements is whether the Company should report revenue based on the gross amount billed to the ultimate customer or on the net amount received from the customer after commissions and other payments to third parties. To the extent revenue is recorded on a gross basis, any commissions or other payments to third parties are recorded as expense so that the net amount (gross revenue less expense) is reflected in Operating Income. Accordingly, the impact on Operating Income is the same whether the Company records revenue on a gross or net basis.
For example, TWC is assessed franchise fees by franchising authorities, which are passed on to the customer. The accounting issue presented by these arrangements is whether TWC should report revenue based on the gross amount billed to the ultimate customer or on the net amount received from the customer after payments to franchising authorities. The Company has determined that these amounts should be reported on a gross basis. TWC's policy is that, in instances where the fees are being assessed directly to the Company, amounts paid to the governmental authorities and amounts received from the customers are recorded on a gross basis. That is, amounts paid to the governmental authorities are recorded as operating costs and expenses and amounts received from the customer are recorded as revenue. The amount of such fees recorded on a gross basis related to video and voice services was $672 million in 2013, $684 million in 2012 and $610 million in 2011.
Income Taxes
Income taxes are provided using the asset and liability method. Under this method, income taxes (i.e., deferred tax assets, deferred tax liabilities, taxes currently payable/refunds receivable and tax expense) are recorded based on amounts refundable or payable in the current year and include the results of any difference between GAAP and tax reporting. Deferred income taxes reflect the tax effect of net operating losses, capital losses, general business credit carryforwards and the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amount of assets and liabilities for financial statement and income tax purposes, based upon enacted tax laws and expected tax rates that will be in effect when the temporary differences reverse. Valuation allowances are established when management determines that it is more likely than not that some portion or the entire deferred tax asset will not be realized. The financial effect of changes in tax laws or rates is accounted for in the period of enactment.
Prior to TWC's separation from Time Warner on March 12, 2009 (the “Separation”), TWC was not a separate taxable entity for U.S. federal and various state income tax purposes and its results were included in the consolidated U.S. federal and certain state income tax returns of Time Warner. The income tax benefits and provisions, related tax payments, and current and deferred tax balances have been prepared as if TWC operated as a stand-alone taxpayer for all periods presented including periods through the date of the Separation. Under a tax sharing arrangement between TWC and Time Warner and with respect to periods prior to the Separation, TWC is obligated to make tax sharing payments to Time Warner in amounts equal to the estimated taxes it would have paid if it were a separate taxpayer and Time Warner is obligated to make payments to TWC for TWC tax attributes used by Time Warner, but only as and when TWC as a standalone taxpayer would have been able to use such attributes itself. The Company received net cash tax refunds from Time Warner of $6 million in 2012.
From time to time, the Company engages in transactions in which the tax consequences may be subject to uncertainty. Examples of such transactions include business acquisitions and dispositions, including dispositions designed to be tax free, issues related to consideration paid or received, investments and certain financing transactions. Significant judgment is required in assessing and estimating the tax consequences of these transactions. The Company prepares and files tax returns based on interpretation of tax laws and regulations. In the normal course of business, the Company's tax returns are subject to examination by various taxing authorities. Such examinations may result in future tax, interest and penalty assessments by these taxing authorities. In determining the Company's income tax provision for financial reporting purposes, the Company establishes a reserve for uncertain income tax positions unless such positions are determined to be more likely than not of being sustained upon examination, based on their technical merits. That is, for financial reporting purposes, the Company only recognizes tax benefits taken on the tax return that it believes are more likely than not of being sustained. There is considerable judgment involved in determining whether positions taken on the tax return are more likely than not of being sustained.
The Company adjusts its tax reserve estimates periodically because of ongoing examinations by, and settlements with, the various taxing authorities, as well as changes in tax laws, regulations and interpretations. The consolidated income tax provision of any given year includes adjustments to prior year income tax accruals that are considered appropriate and any related estimated interest. The Company's policy is to recognize, when applicable, interest and penalties on uncertain income tax positions as part of income tax provision.
Legal Contingencies
The Company is subject to legal, regulatory and other proceedings and claims that arise in the ordinary course of business. The Company records an estimated liability for those proceedings and claims arising in the ordinary course of business when the loss from such proceedings and claims becomes probable and reasonably estimable. The Company reviews outstanding claims with internal and external counsel to assess the probability and the estimates of loss, including the possible range of an estimated loss. The Company reassesses the risk of loss as new information becomes available and adjusts liabilities as appropriate. The actual cost of resolving a claim may be substantially different from the amount of the liability recorded. Differences between the estimated and actual amounts determined upon ultimate resolution, individually or in the aggregate, are not expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company's consolidated financial position but could possibly be material to the Company's consolidated results of operations or cash flow for any one period.

	3.       EARNINGS PER SHARE
	Basic net income per common share attributable to TWC common shareholders is determined using the two-class method and is computed by dividing net income attributable to TWC common shareholders by the weighted average of common shares outstanding during the period. The two-class method is an earnings allocation formula that determines income per share for each class of common stock and participating security according to dividends declared and participation rights in undistributed earnings. Diluted net income per common share attributable to TWC common shareholders reflects the more dilutive earnings per share amount calculated using the treasury stock method or the two-class method.
	Set forth below is a reconciliation of net income attributable to TWC common shareholders per basic and diluted common share for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011 (in millions, except per share data):
		Year Ended December 31,

	——————————
	Equity-method investments includes investments in MLB Network, LLC (5.3% owned), iN Demand L.L.C. (29.3% owned) and National Cable Communications LLC (16.7% owned). In addition, the Company has an equity-method investment in Sterling Entertainment Enterprises, LLC (doing business as SportsNet New York, 26.8% owned). The Company has received distributions in excess of its investment in SportsNet New York and has reflected this amount ($185 million and $189 million as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively) in other liabilities in the consolidated balance sheet.
	For the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, the Company recognized income (losses) from equity-method investments of $19 million, $454 million and $(88) million, respectively, which is included in other income (expense), net, in the consolidated statement of operations.
	SpectrumCo
	On August 24, 2012, SpectrumCo, LLC (“SpectrumCo”), a joint venture between TWC, Comcast and Bright House Networks, LLC (“Bright House”), sold all of its advanced wireless spectrum licenses to Cellco Partnership (doing business as Verizon Wireless), a joint venture between Verizon Communications Inc. (“Verizon”) and Vodafone Group Plc, for $3.6 billion in cash. Upon closing, TWC, which owns 31.2% of SpectrumCo, received $1.112 billion, which is included in return of capital from investees in the consolidated statement of cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2012, and recorded a pretax gain of $430 million ($261 million on an after-tax basis), which is included in other income (expense), net, in the consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2012. The balance of the Company's investment in SpectrumCo was $8 million as of December 31, 2012, representing TWC's share of SpectrumCo's remaining members' equity (primarily consisting of cash and equivalents, net of accrued expenses). During the first quarter of 2013, the Company received a final return of capital distribution from SpectrumCo of $7 million that, along with losses recognized from the Company's investment in SpectrumCo, resulted in an investment balance of zero.
	Clearwire
	On September 13, 2012, the Company exchanged all of its beneficially owned shares of Class B common stock of Clearwire Corporation (“Clearwire”) together with all of its beneficially owned Class B common units of Clearwire Communications LLC (“Clearwire Communications”) for shares of Class A common stock of Clearwire. On September 27, 2012, the Company sold these shares of Class A common stock for $64 million in cash. The sale resulted in a pretax gain of $64 million, which is included in other income (expense), net, in the consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2012.
	In addition, during the year ended December 31, 2012, the Company recorded an income tax benefit of $19 million primarily related to the sale of Clearwire's Class A common stock.  The income tax benefit included the reversal of a $46 million valuation allowance against a deferred income tax asset associated with the Company's investment in Clearwire, which had been established due to the uncertainty of realizing the full benefit of such asset.  The Company reversed the valuation allowance as a result of its ability to fully realize the capital losses from the sale of its Clearwire interests by offsetting capital gains related to SpectrumCo's sale of its spectrum licenses.
	In early 2012, TWC ceased making its existing wireless service available to new wireless customers. As a result, during the fourth quarter of 2011, the Company impaired $60 million of assets related to the provision of wireless service that would no longer be utilized. Of the $60 million noncash impairment, $44 million related to fixed assets and wireless devices and $16 million related to the remaining value of wireless wholesale agreements with Sprint Corporation (“Sprint”) and Clearwire that were recorded upon TWC's initial investment in Clearwire Communications in 2008.

	Annual Impairment Analysis
	As of the Company's July 1, 2013 annual testing date and based on its qualitative assessment, the Company determined that it was not more likely than not that its cable franchise rights and goodwill were impaired and, therefore, the Company did not perform a quantitative assessment as part of its annual impairment testing. In making that determination, management identified and analyzed qualitative factors, including factors that would most significantly impact a DCF valuation of the fair values of the cable franchise rights and the fair value of the Company's reporting units. This process included a review of the Company's most recent long-range projections, analysis of operating results versus the prior year, changes in market values, changes in discount rates and changes in terminal growth rate assumptions.

	TWC has filed a shelf registration statement on Form S-3 with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) that allows TWC to offer and sell from time to time a variety of securities. TWC has issued notes and debentures (the “TWC Notes and Debentures”) publicly in a number of offerings. As of November 1, 2013, TWC's obligations under the TWC Notes and Debentures are guaranteed by Time Warner Cable Enterprises LLC (“TWCE”), a 100% owned subsidiary of the Company. Prior to November 1, 2013, TWC's obligations under the TWC Notes and Debentures were guaranteed by the Company's 100% owned subsidiaries, TWCE, TW NY Cable Holding Inc. (“TW NY”) and Time Warner Cable Internet Holdings II LLC (“TWC Internet Holdings II”). As part of an internal reorganization, on November 1, 2013, TW NY merged with and into the Company, with the Company as the surviving entity, and TWC Internet Holdings II merged with and into TWCE, with TWCE as the surviving entity.
	The TWC Notes and Debentures were issued pursuant to an indenture, dated as of April 9, 2007, as it has been and may be amended from time to time (the “TWC Indenture”), by and among the Company, TWCE and The Bank of New York Mellon, as trustee. The TWC Indenture contains customary covenants relating to restrictions on the ability of the Company or any material subsidiary to create liens and on the ability of the Company and TWCE to consolidate, merge or convey or transfer substantially all of their assets. The TWC Indenture also contains customary events of default.
	The TWC Notes and Debentures are unsecured senior obligations of the Company and rank equally with its other unsecured and unsubordinated obligations. Interest on each series of TWC Notes and Debentures is payable semi-annually (with the exception of the British pound sterling denominated notes (the “Sterling Notes”), which is payable annually) in arrears. The guarantees of the TWC Notes and Debentures are unsecured senior obligations of TWCE and rank equally in right of payment with all other unsecured and unsubordinated obligations of TWCE.
	The TWC Notes and Debentures may be redeemed in whole or in part at any time at the Company's option at a redemption price equal to the greater of (i) all of the applicable principal amount being redeemed and (ii) the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments on the applicable TWC Notes and Debentures discounted to the redemption date on a semi-annual basis (with the exception of the Sterling Notes, which are on an annual basis), at a comparable government bond rate plus a designated number of basis points as further described in the TWC Indenture and the applicable note or debenture, plus, in each case, accrued but unpaid interest to, but not including, the redemption date.
	The Company may offer to redeem all, but not less than all, of the Sterling Notes in the event of certain changes in the tax laws of the U.S. (or any taxing authority in the U.S.). This redemption would be at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount, together with accrued and unpaid interest on the Sterling Notes to, but not including, the redemption date.

	—————————
	Outstanding balance amounts as of December 31, 2013 and 2012 include an unamortized fair value adjustment of $65 million and $70 million, respectively, primarily consisting of the fair value adjustment recognized as a result of the 2001 merger of America Online, Inc. (now known as AOL Inc.) and Time Warner Inc. (now known as Historic TW Inc.). The fair value adjustment is amortized over the term of the related debt instrument as a reduction to interest expense.
	During 1992 and 1993, Time Warner Entertainment Company L.P. (“TWE”) issued notes and debentures publicly in a number of offerings. In connection with an internal reorganization, TWE merged with and into TWCE, with TWCE as the surviving entity, on September 30, 2012. Accordingly, TWCE assumed all of the rights and obligations of TWE, including TWE's previously issued notes and debentures (the “TWCE Debentures”). As of November 1, 2013, TWCE's obligations under the TWCE Debentures are guaranteed by TWC. Prior to November 1, 2013, TWCE's obligations under the TWCE Debentures were guaranteed by TWC, TW NY and TWC Internet Holdings II. As part of the internal reorganization discussed above, on November 1, 2013, TW NY merged with and into the Company, with the Company as the surviving entity, and TWC Internet Holdings II merged with and into TWCE, with TWCE as the surviving entity. TWCE has no obligation to file separate reports with the SEC under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
	The TWCE Debentures were issued pursuant to an indenture, dated as of April 30, 1992, as it has been and may be amended from time to time (the “TWCE Indenture”) by and among TWCE, TWC and The Bank of New York Mellon, as trustee. The TWCE Indenture contains customary covenants relating to restrictions on the ability of TWCE or any material subsidiary to create liens and on the ability of TWCE and TWC to consolidate, merge or convey or transfer substantially all of their assets. The TWCE Indenture also contains customary events of default.
	The TWCE Debentures are unsecured senior obligations of TWCE and rank equally with its other unsecured and unsubordinated obligations. Interest on each series of TWCE Debentures is payable semi-annually in arrears. The guarantees of the TWCE Debentures are unsecured senior obligations of TWC and rank equally in right of payment with all other unsecured and unsubordinated obligations of TWC. The TWCE Debentures are not redeemable before maturity.
	Revolving Credit Facility and Commercial Paper Program
As of December 31, 2013, the Company has a $3.5 billion senior unsecured five-year revolving credit facility maturing in April 2017 (the “Revolving Credit Facility”). The Company's obligations under the Revolving Credit Facility are guaranteed by TWCE. Borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility bear interest at a rate based on the credit rating of TWC, which interest rate was LIBOR plus 1.10% per annum as of December 31, 2013. In addition, TWC is required to pay a facility fee on the aggregate commitments under the Revolving Credit Facility at a rate determined by the credit rating of TWC, which rate was 0.15% per annum as of December 31, 2013. The Revolving Credit Facility provides same-day funding capability, and a portion of the aggregate commitments, not to exceed $500 million at any time, may be used for the issuance of letters of credit.
The Revolving Credit Facility contains a maximum leverage ratio covenant of 5.0 times TWC's consolidated EBITDA. The terms and related financial metrics associated with the leverage ratio are defined in the agreement. As of December 31, 2013, TWC was in compliance with the leverage ratio covenant, calculated in accordance with the agreement, with a ratio of approximately 3.1 times. The Revolving Credit Facility does not contain any credit ratings-based defaults or covenants or any ongoing covenants or representations specifically relating to a material adverse change in TWC's financial condition or results of operations. Borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility may be used for general corporate purposes, and unused credit is available to support borrowings under the Commercial Paper Program (as defined below).
In addition to the Revolving Credit Facility, the Company maintains a $2.5 billion unsecured commercial paper program (the “Commercial Paper Program”) that is also guaranteed by TWCE. Commercial paper issued under the Commercial Paper Program is supported by unused committed capacity under the Revolving Credit Facility and ranks equally with other unsecured senior indebtedness of TWC and TWCE.
As of December 31, 2013, the Company had no outstanding borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility or Commercial Paper Program. TWC's unused committed financial capacity was $3.960 billion as of December 31, 2013, reflecting $525 million of cash and equivalents and $3.435 billion of available borrowing capacity under the Revolving Credit Facility (which reflects a reduction of $65 million for outstanding letters of credit backed by the Revolving Credit Facility).
Debt Issuance Costs
For the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, the Company capitalized debt issuance costs of $26 million and $25 million, respectively, in connection with the Company's public debt issuances. These capitalized costs are amortized over the term of the related debt instrument and are included as a component of interest expense, net, in the consolidated statement of operations.
Maturities
Annual maturities of debt total $1.758 billion in 2014, $509 million in 2015, $5 million in 2016, $2.004 billion in 2017, $2.002 billion in 2018 and $18.709 billion thereafter.

	The Company's interest rate swap and cross-currency swap contracts with multiple counterparties are subject to contractual terms that provide for the net settlement of all such contracts with each counterparty through a single payment in the event of default on or termination of any one contract by either party. The fair values of assets and liabilities associated with interest rate swaps and cross-currency swaps are presented on a gross basis in the consolidated balance sheet and are classified as current or noncurrent based on the maturity date of the respective contract.
	Of the total amount of interest rate swap assets recorded as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, $8 million and $16 million, respectively, is recorded in other current assets in the consolidated balance sheet. The total amount of interest rate swap liabilities recorded as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, is recorded in other liabilities in the consolidated balance sheet.
	The fair values of the assets and liabilities associated with cross-currency swaps are recorded in other assets and other liabilities, respectively, in the consolidated balance sheet.
	The fair value of the equity award reimbursement obligation is recorded in other current liabilities in the consolidated balance sheet.
	Fair Value Hedges
	The Company uses interest rate swaps to manage interest rate risk by effectively converting fixed-rate debt into variable-rate debt. Under such contracts, the Company is entitled to receive semi-annual interest payments at fixed rates and is required to make semi-annual interest payments at variable rates, without exchange of the underlying principal amount. Such contracts are designated as fair value hedges. The Company recognizes no gain or loss related to its interest rate swaps because the changes in the fair values of such instruments are completely offset by the changes in the fair values of the hedged fixed-rate debt. The following table summarizes the terms of the Company's existing fixed to variable interest rate swaps as of December 31, 2013 and 2012:

	Cash Flow Hedges
	The Company uses cross-currency swaps to manage foreign exchange risk related to foreign currency denominated debt by effectively converting foreign currency denominated debt, including annual interest payments and the payment of principal at maturity, to U.S. dollar denominated debt. Such contracts are designated as cash flow hedges. The Company has entered into cross-currency swaps to effectively convert its £1.275 billion aggregate principal amount of fixed-rate British pound sterling denominated debt, including annual interest payments and the payment of principal at maturity, to fixed-rate U.S. dollar denominated debt. The cross-currency swaps have maturities of June 2031 and July 2042. The following table summarizes the deferred gain (loss) activity related to cash flow hedges recognized in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), net, and reclassified into other income (expense), net, for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011 (in millions):
					Year Ended December 31,
					2013		2012		2011
	Deferred gains (losses) recognized:
		Cross-currency swaps			$	209	$	179	$	-67
		Other cash flow hedges				—		—		-4
		Total deferred gains (losses) recognized				209		179		-71
	Deferred (gains) losses reclassified into earnings:
		Cross-currency swaps(a)				-39		-76		41
	Total net deferred gains (losses) recognized					170		103		-30
	Income tax (provision) benefit					-66		-40		12
	Total net deferred gains (losses) recognized, net of tax				$	104	$	63	$	-18
	—————————
	Deferred gains (losses) on cross-currency swaps were reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), net, to other income (expense), net, which offsets the re-measurement gains (losses) recognized in other income (expense), net, on the British pound sterling denominated debt.
	Any ineffectiveness related to the Company's cash flow hedges has been and is expected to be immaterial.
	Equity Award Reimbursement Obligation
	Prior to 2007, some of TWC's employees were granted options to purchase shares of Time Warner common stock in connection with their past employment with subsidiaries and affiliates of Time Warner, including TWC. Upon the exercise of Time Warner stock options held by TWC employees, TWC is obligated to reimburse Time Warner for the excess of the market price of Time Warner common stock on the day of exercise over the option exercise price (the “intrinsic” value of the award). The Company records the equity award reimbursement obligation at fair value, which is estimated using the Black-Scholes model, in other current liabilities in the consolidated balance sheet. The change in the equity award reimbursement obligation fluctuates primarily with the fair value and expected volatility of Time Warner common stock and changes in fair value are recorded in other income (expense), net, in the period of change. As of December 31, 2013, the weighted-average remaining contractual term of outstanding Time Warner stock options held by TWC employees was 0.17 years. Changes in the fair value of the equity award reimbursement obligation are discussed in Note 10 below.

	The fair value of interest rate swaps, classified as Level 2, utilized a DCF analysis based on the terms of the contract and expected forward interest rates, and incorporates the credit risk of the Company and each counterparty. The fair value of cross-currency swaps, classified as Level 2, utilized a DCF analysis based on expected forward interest and exchange rates, and incorporates the credit risk of the Company and each counterparty. The fair value of the equity award reimbursement obligation, classified as Level 3, utilized a Black-Scholes model to determine the estimated weighted-average fair value of Time Warner stock options outstanding, which was $33.00 per option as of December 31, 2013. The weighted-average assumptions used in the Black-Scholes model were as follows: expected volatility of Time Warner common stock of 22.87%, expected term of 0.16 years, risk-free rate of 0.04% and expected dividend yield of 1.65%.
	Changes in the fair value of the equity award reimbursement obligation, valued using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3), from January 1 through December 31 are presented below (in millions):
									2013		2012		2011
	Balance at beginning of year								$	19	$	22	$	20
	Losses recognized in other income (expense), net									10		9		5
	Payments to Time Warner for awards exercised									-18		-12		-3
	Balance at end of year								$	11	$	19	$	22
	Assets Measured at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis
	The Company's assets measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis include equity-method investments, long-lived assets, indefinite-lived intangible assets and goodwill. The Company reviews the carrying amounts of such assets whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amounts may not be recoverable or at least annually as of July 1 for indefinite-lived intangible assets and goodwill. Any resulting asset impairment would require that the asset be reduced to its fair value. Refer to Note 6 for further details regarding the results of the Company's annual impairment analysis.
	In early 2012, TWC ceased making its existing wireless service available to new customers. As a result, during the fourth quarter of 2011, the Company impaired $60 million of assets related to the provision of wireless service that will no longer be utilized. Refer to Note 5 for further details.
	Fair Value of Other Financial Instruments
	The Company's other financial instruments not measured at fair value on a recurring basis include (a) cash and equivalents, receivables, accounts payable, accrued liabilities and, as of December 31, 2012, mandatorily redeemable preferred equity, which are reflected at cost in the consolidated balance sheet, and (b) short-term investments in U.S. Treasury securities and long-term debt not subject to fair value hedge accounting, which are reflected at amortized cost in the consolidated balance sheet. With the exception of long-term debt, cost and amortized cost approximates fair value for these instruments due to their short-term nature. The carrying value and related estimated fair value of the Company's long-term debt, excluding capital leases, was $25.003 billion and $25.187 billion, respectively, as of December 31, 2013 and $26.664 billion and $31.759 billion, respectively, as of December 31, 2012. Estimated fair values for long-term debt are determined by reference to the market value of the instrument as quoted on a national securities exchange or in an over-the-counter market (Level 1).

	TWC is authorized, under the Company's stock incentive plan (the “2011 Plan”) to grant restricted stock units (“RSUs”) and options to purchase shares of TWC common stock to its employees and non-employee directors. As of December 31, 2013, the 2011 Plan provides for the issuance of up to 20.0 million shares of TWC common stock, of which 12.2 million shares were available for grant.
	Equity-based compensation expense and the related tax benefit recognized for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011 was as follows (in millions):
				Year Ended December 31,
				2013		2012		2011

	——————————
	Amounts in 2011 include $1 million of equity-based compensation expense that is classified in merger-related and restructuring costs in the consolidated statement of operations.
	Restricted Stock Units
	The following table summarizes information about unvested RSUs for the year ended December 31, 2013:
								Weighted-
						Number		Average
						of		Grant Date
						Units		Value
						(in millions)
	Unvested as of December 31, 2012						5.04	$	60.47
	Granted						1.2		87.3

	Forfeited						-0.306		74.3
	Unvested as of December 31, 2013						4.086		72.42
	For the year ended December 31, 2013, TWC granted 1.200 million RSUs at a weighted-average grant date fair value of $87.30 per RSU, including 142,000 RSUs subject to performance-based vesting conditions (“PBUs”) at a weighted-average grant date fair value of $87.31 per PBU. For the year ended December 31, 2012, TWC granted 1.442 million RSUs at a weighted-average grant date fair value of $77.09 per RSU, including 196,000 PBUs at a weighted-average grant date fair value of $77.13 per PBU. For the year ended December 31, 2011, TWC granted 1.477 million RSUs at a weighted-average grant date fair value of $72.09 per RSU, including 158,000 PBUs at a weighted-average grant date fair value of $72.05 per PBU.
	The fair value of RSUs that vested during the year was $98 million in 2013, $95 million in 2012 and $103 million in 2011. As of December 31, 2013, the aggregate intrinsic value of unvested RSUs was $554 million. Total unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested RSUs as of December 31, 2013, without taking into account expected forfeitures, was $131 million, which the Company expects to recognize over a weighted-average period of 2.48 years.
	RSUs, including PBUs, generally vest equally on each of the third and fourth anniversary of the grant date, subject to continued employment and, in the case of PBUs, subject to the satisfaction and certification of the applicable performance conditions. RSUs provide for accelerated vesting upon the grantee's termination of employment after reaching a specified age and years of service and, in the case of PBUs, subject to the satisfaction and certification of the applicable performance conditions. PBUs are subject to forfeiture if the applicable performance condition is not satisfied. RSUs awarded to non-employee directors are not subject to vesting or forfeiture restrictions and the shares underlying the RSUs will generally be issued in connection with a director's termination of service as a director. Pursuant to the directors' compensation program, certain directors with more than three years of service on TWC's Board have elected an in-service vesting period for their RSU awards. Holders of RSUs are generally entitled to receive cash dividend equivalents or retained distributions related to regular cash dividends or other distributions, respectively, paid by TWC. In the case of PBUs, the receipt of the dividend equivalents is subject to the satisfaction and certification of the applicable performance conditions. Retained distributions are subject to the vesting requirements of the underlying RSUs. Upon the vesting of a RSU, shares of TWC common stock may be issued from authorized but unissued shares or from treasury stock, if any.
	During February 2014, TWC granted approximately 3.6 million RSUs under the 2011 Plan that vest at various times through 2020, of which 143,000 were PBUs.

	Expected to vest as of December 31, 2013		5.687		76.44		8.09		336
	For the year ended December 31, 2013, TWC granted 2.539 million stock options at a weighted-average grant date fair value of $15.66 per option, including 302,000 stock options subject to performance-based vesting conditions (“PBOs”) at a weighted-average grant date fair value of $15.57 per PBO. For the year ended December 31, 2012, TWC granted 3.017 million stock options at a weighted-average grant date fair value of $16.85 per option, including 372,000 PBOs at a weighted-average grant date fair value of $16.85 per PBO. For the year ended December 31, 2011, TWC granted 2.240 million stock options at a weighted-average grant date fair value of $18.95 per option, including 262,000 PBOs at a weighted-average grant date fair value of $19.08 per PBO.
	The total intrinsic value of stock options exercised during the year ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011 was $167 million, $173 million and $113 million, respectively. Cash received from stock options exercised during the year ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011 was $138 million, $140 million and $114 million, respectively, and tax benefits realized from these exercises of stock options was $67 million, $69 million and $45 million, respectively. Total unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested stock options as of December 31, 2013, without taking into account expected forfeitures, was $46 million, which the Company expects to recognize over a weighted-average period of 2.44 years.
	Stock options, including PBOs, have exercise prices equal to the fair market value of TWC common stock at the date of grant. Generally, stock options vest ratably over a four-year vesting period and expire ten years from the date of grant, subject to continued employment and, in the case of PBOs, subject to the satisfaction and certification of the applicable performance condition. Certain stock option awards provide for accelerated vesting upon the grantee's termination of employment after reaching a specified age and years of service and, in the case of PBOs, subject to the satisfaction and certification of the applicable performance conditions. PBOs are subject to forfeiture if the applicable performance condition is not satisfied. Upon the exercise of a stock option, shares of TWC common stock may be issued from authorized but unissued shares or from treasury stock, if any.
	The table below presents the assumptions used to value stock options at their grant date for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011 and reflects the weighted average of all awards granted within each year:
				Year Ended December 31,
				2013		2012		2011
	Expected volatility				26.14%		30.03%		31.19%
	Expected term to exercise from grant date (in years)				5.94		6.43		6.42
	Risk-free rate				1.19%		1.35%		2.80%
	Expected dividend yield				2.97%		2.91%		2.66%
	Special Dividend Retained Distribution
	In connection with the Separation, on March 12, 2009, TWC paid a special cash dividend to holders of record on March 11, 2009 of TWC's Class A common stock and Class B common stock (the “Special Dividend”). In connection with the Special Dividend, holders of RSUs could elect to receive the retained distribution on their RSUs related to the Special Dividend (the “Special Dividend Retained Distribution”) in the form of cash (payable, without interest, upon vesting of the underlying RSUs) or in the form of additional RSUs (with the same vesting dates as the underlying RSUs). In connection with these elections and in conjunction with the payment of the Special Dividend, during the first quarter of 2009, the Company established a liability of $46 million in other liabilities and TWC shareholders' equity in the consolidated balance sheet for the Special Dividend Retained Distribution to be paid in cash, taking into account estimated forfeitures. The Company made cash payments related to the Special Dividend Retained Distribution of $9 million in 2013, $16 million in 2012 and $14 million in 2011, which are included in other financing activities in the consolidated statement of cash flows. The Special Dividend Retained Distribution liability was zero as of December 31, 2013.

	TWC sponsors the Time Warner Cable Pension Plan (the “TWC Pension Plan”) and the Time Warner Cable Union Pension Plan (the “Union Pension Plan” and, together with the TWC Pension Plan, the “qualified pension plans”), both qualified defined benefit pension plans, that together provide pension benefits to a majority of the Company's employees. TWC also provides a nonqualified defined benefit pension plan for certain employees (the “nonqualified pension plan” and, together with the qualified pension plans, the “pension plans”). Pension benefits are based on formulas that reflect the employees' years of service and compensation during their employment period. TWC uses a December 31 measurement date for its pension plans.

	On March 27, 2013, the TWC Pension Plan was amended with respect to pension benefits accrued by disabled participants (as defined in the TWC Pension Plan) whose long-term disability date occurs on or after April 17, 2013. Participants who become disabled on or after April 17, 2013 will not earn additional benefit service while disabled.
	On September 4, 2013, the TWC Pension Plan was amended to provide certain eligible participants and deferred beneficiaries with a voluntary election opportunity during a limited-time period to receive, or to commence receiving, their Plan benefit effective December 1, 2013 in the form of a lump-sum payment or certain other optional forms of payment. The opportunity to make this voluntary election was available between September 10, 2013 and October 31, 2013. Eligible participants were those who (a) terminated employment or who were deceased on or before May 31, 2013, (b) had not commenced receiving their benefit under the Plan and (c) had an annual accrued benefit at normal retirement age that does not exceed a certain threshold. As a result of this amendment, eligible participants received benefit payments of $167 million during 2013.

	Weighted-average assumptions used to determine benefit obligations as of December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011 consisted of the following:
					2013		2012		2011
	Discount rate					5.27%		4.31%		5.21%
	Rate of compensation increase					4.75%		4.75%		5.25%
	Weighted-average assumptions used to determine net periodic benefit cost for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011 consisted of the following:
					2013		2012		2011
	Expected long-term return on plan assets					7.50%		7.75%		8.00%
	Discount rate					4.31%		5.21%		5.90%
	Rate of compensation increase					4.75%		5.25%		5.25%
	The discount rates used to determine benefit obligations and net periodic benefit costs were determined by the matching of plan liability cash flows to a portfolio of bonds individually selected from a large population of high-quality corporate bonds.
	In developing the expected long-term rate of return on assets, the Company considered the pension portfolio's composition, past average rate of earnings, discussions with portfolio managers and the Company's asset allocation targets. The weighted-average expected long-term return on plan assets used to determine net periodic benefit cost for the year ended December 31, 2014 is expected to be 7.50%.
Pension Assets
The assets of the qualified pension plans are held in a master trust in which the qualified pension plans are the only participating plans (the “Master Trust”). The investment policy for the qualified pension plans is to maximize the long-term rate of return on plan assets within a prudent level of risk and diversification while maintaining adequate funding levels. The investment portfolio is a mix of equity and fixed-income securities with the objective of matching plan liability performance, diversifying risk and achieving a target investment return. The pension plans' Investment Committee regularly monitors investment performance, investment allocation policies and the performance of individual investment managers of the Master Trust and makes adjustments and changes when necessary. On a periodic basis, the Investment Committee conducts a broad strategic review of its portfolio construction and investment allocation policies.  Neither the Company nor the Investment Committee manages any assets internally or directly utilizes derivative instruments or hedging; however, the investment mandate of some investment managers allows the use of derivatives as components of their standard portfolio management strategies. Pension assets are managed in a balanced portfolio comprised of two major components: a return-seeking portion and a liability-matching portion. The expected role of return-seeking investments is to maximize the long-term growth of pension assets with a prudent level of risk, while the role of liability-matching investments is to provide a partial hedge against liability performance associated with changes in interest rates and potentially provide some protection against a prolonged decline in the market value of equity investments. The objective within return-seeking investments is to achieve asset diversity in order to balance return and volatility.
The target and actual investment allocation of the qualified pension plans by asset category as of December 31, 2013 and 2012 consisted of the following:
						Investment Allocation
						Target		Actual
2013:00:00
Return-seeking securities							70.00%		73.30%
Liability-matching securities							30.00%		26.40%
Other investments							0.00%		0.30%
2012:00:00

Common stocks, mutual funds and U.S. Treasury debt securities are valued at the closing price reported on the active market on which the individual securities are traded. No single industry comprised a significant portion of common stock held by the qualified pension plan as of December 31, 2013 and 2012.
Commingled equity funds and commingled bond funds are valued using the net asset value provided by the administrator of the fund. The net asset value is based on the value of the underlying assets owned by the fund, less liabilities, and then divided by the number of units outstanding.
Other equity securities consist of preferred stocks, which are valued at the closing price reported on the active market on which the individual securities are traded.
Corporate debt securities are valued based on observable prices from the new issue market, benchmark quotes, secondary trading and dealer quotes. An option adjusted spread model is incorporated to adjust spreads of issues that have early redemption features and final spreads are added to the U.S. Treasury curve.
Collective trust funds primarily consist of short-term investment strategies comprised of instruments issued or fully guaranteed by the U.S. government and/or its agencies and are valued using the net asset value provided by the administrator of the fund. The net asset value is based on the value of the underlying assets owned by the fund, less liabilities, and then divided by the number of units outstanding.
U.S. government agency asset-backed debt securities consist of pass-through mortgage-backed securities issued by the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation and the Federal National Mortgage Association valued using available trade information, dealer quotes, market indices and research reports, spreads, bids and offers.
Corporate asset-backed debt securities primarily consist of pass-through mortgage-backed securities issued by U.S. and foreign corporations valued using available trade information, dealer quotes, market indices and research reports, spreads, bids and offers.
Other fixed-income securities consist of foreign government debt securities, municipal bonds and U.S. government agency debt securities, which are valued based on observable prices from the new issue market, benchmark quotes, secondary trading and dealer quotes. An option adjusted spread model is incorporated to adjust spreads of issues that have early redemption features and final spreads are added to the U.S. Treasury curve.
Other investments primarily consist of private equity investments, such as those in limited partnerships that invest in operating companies that are not publicly traded on a stock exchange, and hedge funds. Private equity investments are valued using inputs such as trading multiples of comparable public securities, merger and acquisition activity and pricing data from the most recent equity financing taking into consideration illiquidity. Hedge funds are valued using the net asset value provided by the administrator of the fund, which is based on the value of the underlying assets owned by the fund, less liabilities, and then divided by the number of units outstanding.
Changes in the fair value of investment assets valued using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) from January 1 through December 31 are presented below (in millions):

Expected Cash Flows
The Company made no cash contributions to the qualified pension plans during 2013 and does not expect to make any discretionary cash contributions to the qualified pension plans in 2014. For the nonqualified pension plan, the Company will continue to make contributions in 2014 to the extent benefits are paid.
Benefit payments for the pension plans are expected to be $42 million in 2014, $49 million in 2015, $57 million in 2016, $67 million in 2017, $79 million in 2018 and $608 million in 2019 to 2023.
Multiemployer Plans
TWC contributes to a number of multiemployer plans under the terms of collective-bargaining agreements that cover its union-represented employees. Such multiemployer plans provide medical, pension and retirement savings benefits to active employees and retirees. For the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, the Company contributed $44 million, $42 million and $41 million to multiemployer plans.
The risks of participating in multiemployer pension plans are different from single-employer pension plans in the following aspects: (a) assets contributed to a multiemployer pension plan by one employer may be used to provide benefits to employees of other participating employers, (b) if a participating employer stops contributing to the multiemployer pension plan, the unfunded obligations of the plan may be borne by the remaining participating employers and (c) if TWC chooses to stop participating in any of the multiemployer pension plans, the Company may be required to pay those plans an amount based on the underfunded status of the plan, referred to as a withdrawal liability.
The multiemployer pension plans to which the Company contributes each received a Pension Protection Act “green” zone status in 2012. The zone status is based on the most recent information the Company received from the plan and is certified by the plan's actuary. Among other factors, plans in the green zone are at least 80% funded.
Defined Contribution Plan
TWC employees also participate in a defined contribution plan, the TWC Savings Plan, for which the expense for employer matching contributions totaled $82 million in 2013, $77 million in 2012 and $70 million in 2011. The Company's contributions to the TWC Savings Plan are primarily based on a percentage of the employees' elected contributions and are subject to plan provisions.

	The differences between income tax (benefit) provision expected at the U.S. federal statutory income tax rate of 35% and income tax (benefit) provision provided for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011 consisted of the following (in millions):

	Equity-based compensation				—		—		12
	Other				-7		-22		-3
	Total			$	1,085	$	1,177	$	795
	The income tax provision and effective tax rate for the year ended December 31, 2013 include (i) a benefit of $77 million (of which $45 million was recorded in the fourth quarter of 2013) primarily related to changes in the tax rate applied to calculate the Company's net deferred income tax liability as a result of changes to state tax apportionment factors and (ii) a benefit of $27 million resulting from income tax reform legislation enacted in North Carolina, which, along with other changes, phases in a reduction in North Carolina's corporate income tax rate over several years.
	The income tax provision and effective tax rate for the year ended December 31, 2012 include (i) a benefit of $63 million related to a change in the tax rate applied to calculate the Company's net deferred income tax liability as a result of an internal reorganization effective on September 30, 2012 (refer to Note 19 for further details regarding this reorganization), (ii) a fourth-quarter benefit of $47 million primarily related to a California state tax law change and (iii) a benefit of $46 million related to the reversal of a valuation allowance against a deferred income tax asset associated with the Company's investment in Clearwire.
	During the fourth quarter of 2011, TWC completed its income tax returns for the 2010 taxable year, its first full-year income tax returns subsequent to the Separation, reflecting the income tax positions and state income tax apportionments of TWC as a standalone taxpayer. Based on these returns, the Company concluded that an approximate 65 basis point change in the estimate of the effective tax rate applied to calculate its net deferred income tax liability was required. As a result, TWC recorded a noncash income tax benefit of $178 million during the fourth quarter of 2011. Additionally, the income tax provision and effective tax rate for the year ended December 31, 2011 include net income tax expense of $14 million as a result of the impact of the reversal of deferred income tax assets associated with Time Warner stock option awards held by TWC employees, net of excess tax benefits realized upon the exercise of TWC stock options or vesting of TWC RSUs.
	Significant components of TWC's deferred income tax liabilities, net, as of December 31, 2013 and 2012 consisted of the following (in millions):
						December 31,
						2013		2012
	Cable franchise rights and customer relationships, net(a)					$	-7,979	$	-7,675

		Deferred income tax liabilities, net(d)				$	-11,764	$	-10,963
	——————————
	Cable franchise rights and customer relationships, net, includes deferred income tax assets of approximately $170 million as of December 31, 2012 (none as of December 31, 2013) that relate to intangible assets for which the tax basis exceeds the book basis primarily as a result of the impairment recorded in 2008. Such deferred income tax assets are expected to be realized as the Company receives tax deductions from the amortization, for tax purposes, of the intangible assets.
	Net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards expire in varying amounts through 2033. Aside from certain state tax credit carryforwards for which a valuation allowance has been established, the Company does not expect these carryforwards to expire unutilized.
	The Company's valuation allowance for deferred income tax assets recorded as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, primarily relates to certain state tax credit carryforwards. The valuation allowance is based upon the Company's assessment that it is more likely than not that a portion of the deferred income tax asset will not be realized. The net increase in the valuation allowance of $10 million during 2013 primarily relates to state tax credit carryforwards.
	Deferred income tax liabilities, net, includes current deferred income tax assets of $334 million and $317 million as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.
	Changes in the Company's deferred income tax liabilities, net, from January 1 through December 31 are presented below (in millions):

	Uncertain Income Tax Positions
	The Company recognizes income tax benefits for those income tax positions determined more likely than not to be sustained upon examination, based on the technical merits of the positions. The reserve for uncertain income tax positions is included in other liabilities in the consolidated balance sheet. Changes in the Company's reserve for uncertain income tax positions, excluding the related accrual for interest and penalties, from January 1 through December 31 are presented below (in millions):
				2013		2012		2011
	Balance at beginning of year			$	73	$	50	$	51
	Additions for prior year tax positions				30		17		3

	Reductions for prior year tax positions				—		—		-1
	Lapses in statute of limitations				-3		-3		-5
	Settlements and reversals of timing differences				-11		-12		-6
Balance at end of year			$	108	$	73	$	50
If the Company were to recognize the benefits of these uncertain income tax positions, the income tax provision and effective tax rate would be impacted by $68 million, $50 million and $33 million, including interest and penalties and net of the federal and state benefit for income taxes, for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively. These benefit amounts include interest and penalties of $20 million, $15 million and $11 million for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively, net of the federal and state benefit for income taxes.
The impact of temporary differences and tax attributes are considered when calculating accruals for interest and penalties associated with the reserve for uncertain income tax positions. The amount accrued for interest and penalties, before the federal and state benefit for income taxes, as of December 31, 2013 and 2012 was $28 million and $22 million, respectively. The Company recognizes interest and penalties accrued on uncertain income tax positions as part of the income tax provision. The income tax provision for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011 includes interest and penalties, before the federal and state benefit for income taxes, of $6 million, $6 million and $1 million, respectively.
The Company has determined that it is reasonably possible that its existing reserve for uncertain income tax positions as of December 31, 2013 could decrease by up to approximately $29 million during the twelve-month period ending December 31, 2014 including (i) $14 million related to certain matters affecting the cable industry under discussion with the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) and (ii) $15 million related to various ongoing audits and settlement discussions with the IRS and various state and local jurisdictions.
If the Company were to recognize the benefits of these uncertain income tax positions upon a favorable resolution of these matters, the income tax provision and effective tax rate could be impacted by up to approximately $20 million, including interest and penalties and net of the federal and state benefit for income taxes. This benefit amount includes interest and penalties of approximately $10 million, net of the federal and state benefit for income taxes. The Company otherwise does not currently anticipate that its reserve for uncertain income tax positions as of December 31, 2013 will significantly increase or decrease during the twelve-month period ended December 31, 2014; however, various events could cause the Company's current expectations to change in the future.
The IRS is currently examining the Company's 2005 to 2007 income tax returns, which are periods prior to the Separation. In July 2012, the IRS started the examination of the Company's 2009 and 2010 income tax returns for periods after the Separation. The Company does not anticipate that these examinations will have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial position or results of operations. In addition, the Company is also subject to ongoing examinations of the Company's tax returns by state and local tax authorities for various periods. Activity related to these state and local examinations did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial position or results of operations in 2013, nor does the Company anticipate a material impact in the future.

Segment Information Disclosure	'
	16.       SEGMENT INFORMATION
	Effective in the first quarter of 2014, the Company determined it has three reportable segments, which have been determined based on how management evaluates and manages the business. The Company has recast its financial information and disclosures for prior periods to reflect the segment disclosures as if the presentation structure had been in effect throughout all periods presented.
	The Company classifies its operations into the following reportable segments:
	Residential Services, which principally consists of video, high-speed data and voice services provided to residential customers as well as other residential services, including home automation and monitoring.
	Business Services, which principally consists of data, video and voice services provided to business customers as well as other business services, including enterprise-class, cloud-enabled hosting, managed applications and services.
	Other Operations, which principally consists of (i) Time Warner Cable Media (“TWC Media”), the advertising arm of TWC, (ii) TWC-owned and/or operated regional sports networks (“RSNs”) and local sports, news and lifestyle channels (e.g., Time Warner Cable News NY1) and (iii) other operating revenues and costs, including those derived from the Advance/Newhouse Partnership and home shopping network-related services. The business units reflected in the Other Operations segment individually do not meet the thresholds to be reported as separate reportable segments.
	In addition to the above reportable segments, the Company has shared functions (referred to as “Shared Functions”) that include activities not attributable to a specific reportable segment. Shared Functions consists of operating costs and expenses associated with broad “corporate” functions (e.g., accounting and finance, information technology, executive management, legal and human resources) or functions supporting more than one reportable segment that are centrally managed (e.g., facilities, network operations, vehicles and procurement) as well as other activities not attributable to a reportable segment. As such, the reportable segment results reflect how management views such segments in assessing financial performance and allocating resources and are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations that each segment would have achieved had they operated as stand-alone entities during the periods presented.
	In evaluating the profitability of the Company's segments, the components of net income (loss) below OIBDA, as defined below, are not separately evaluated by management at the segment level. Due to the nature of the Company's operations, a majority of its assets, including its distribution systems, are utilized across the Company's operations and are not segregated by segment. In addition, segment assets are not reported to, or used by, management to allocate resources or assess the performance of the Company's segments. Accordingly, the Company has not disclosed asset information by segment.

Use of OIBDA
Management uses Operating Income before Depreciation and Amortization (“OIBDA”), among other measures, in evaluating the segment's performance because it eliminates the effects of (i) considerable amounts of noncash depreciation and amortization and (ii) items not within the control of the Company's operations managers (such as income tax provision, other income (expense), net, and interest expense, net). Management also uses this measure to evaluate the Company's consolidated operating performance and to allocate resources and capital to the segments. Performance measures derived from OIBDA are also used in the Company's annual incentive compensation programs. In addition, this measure is commonly used by analysts, investors and others in evaluating the Company's performance.
This measure has inherent limitations. For example, OIBDA does not reflect capital expenditures or the periodic costs of certain capitalized assets used in generating revenue. To compensate for such limitations, management evaluates the Company's consolidated performance through, among other measures, various cash flow measures, which reflect capital expenditure decisions, and net income attributable to TWC shareholders, which reflects the periodic costs of capitalized assets. OIBDA also fails to reflect the significant costs borne by the Company for income taxes and debt servicing costs, the results of the Company's equity investments and other non-operational income or expense. Management compensates for these limitations by using other analytics such as a review of net income attributable to TWC shareholders.
This non-GAAP measure should be considered in addition to, not as a substitute for, the Company's Operating Income and net income attributable to TWC shareholders, as well as other measures of financial performance reported in accordance with GAAP, and may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies.

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure	'
	17. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
	In March 2003, the interests in cable networks and filmed entertainment held by TWE were transferred to Time Warner and all of Time Warner's interests in cable systems were transferred to the Company (the “TWE Restructuring”). Prior to the TWE Restructuring, TWE had various contingent commitments, including guarantees, related to the TWE non-cable businesses. In connection with the TWE Restructuring, some of these commitments were not transferred with their applicable non-cable business and they remain contingent commitments of TWE. Time Warner and its subsidiary, Warner Communications Inc., have agreed, on a joint and several basis, to indemnify TWE from and against any and all of these contingent liabilities, but TWE remains a party to these commitments. In connection with an internal reorganization discussed further in Note 19, on September 30, 2012, TWE merged with and into TWCE, with TWCE as the surviving entity.
	TWC has cable franchise agreements containing provisions requiring the construction of cable plant and the provision of services to customers within the franchise areas. In connection with these obligations under existing franchise agreements, TWC obtains surety bonds or letters of credit guaranteeing performance to municipalities and public utilities and payment of insurance premiums. Such surety bonds and letters of credit as of December 31, 2013 and 2012 totaled $373 million and $353 million, respectively. Payments under these arrangements are required only in the event of nonperformance. TWC does not expect that these contingent commitments will result in any amounts being paid in the foreseeable future.
	Contractual Obligations
	The Company has obligations to make future payments for goods and services under certain contractual arrangements. These contractual obligations secure the future rights to various assets and services to be used in the normal course of the Company's operations. For example, the Company is contractually committed to make certain minimum lease payments for the use of property under operating lease agreements. In accordance with applicable accounting rules, the future rights and obligations pertaining to firm commitments, such as operating lease obligations and certain purchase obligations under contracts, are not reflected as assets or liabilities in the consolidated balance sheet.
	The Company's total rent expense, which primarily includes facility rental expense and pole attachment rental fees, was $257 million in 2013, $237 million in 2012 and $202 million in 2011. The Company has lease obligations under various operating leases including minimum lease obligations for real estate and operating equipment.
	The minimum rental commitments under long-term operating leases during the next five years are $149 million in 2014, $141 million in 2015, $131 million in 2016, $102 million in 2017, $89 million in 2018 and $300 million thereafter.
	The following table summarizes the Company's aggregate contractual obligations outstanding as of December 31, 2013 under certain programming and content purchase agreements and various other contractual obligations (including amounts associated with data processing services, high-speed data connectivity, fiber-related and TWC Media obligations) and the estimated timing and effect that such obligations are expected to have on the Company's liquidity and cash flows in future periods (in millions):
	2014	$	5,636
	2015 - 2016		9,805
	2017 - 2018		7,042
	Thereafter		13,825
	Total	$	36,308
	Programming and content purchases represent contracts that the Company has with cable television networks and broadcast stations to provide programming services to its subscribers. The amounts included above represent estimates of the future programming costs for these contract requirements and commitments based on subscriber numbers and tier placement as of December 31, 2013 applied to the per-subscriber rates contained in these contracts. Actual amounts due under such contracts may differ from the amounts above based on the actual subscriber numbers and tier placements. These amounts also include programming rights negotiated directly with content owners for distribution on TWC-owned channels or networks and commitments related to TWC's role as an advertising and distribution sales agent for third party-owned channels and networks.
	Minimum pension funding requirements have not been presented in the table above as such amounts have not been determined beyond 2013. The Company made no cash contributions to the qualified pension plans in 2013 and does not expect to make any discretionary cash contributions to these plans in 2014. For the nonqualified pension plan, the Company contributed $6 million during 2013 and will continue to make contributions in 2014 to the extent benefits are paid.
	Legal Proceedings
	On December 11, 2013, Constellation Technologies LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Rockstar Consortium US LP (“Rockstar”), filed a complaint in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Texas alleging that the Company and its subsidiary, Time Warner Cable Enterprises LLC, infringe six patents purportedly relating to the Company's use of various technologies, including switched digital technology for video delivery, Multiprotocol Label Switching (“MPLS”) networks and data routing techniques, Ethernet passive optical networks and IP Multimedia Subsystem (“IMS”) protocols to provide video, high-speed data and voice services. Rockstar acquired these patents and others from Nortel Networks Limited, a wholly owned subsidiary of Nortel Networks Corporation, in 2011. The plaintiff is seeking unspecified monetary damages. On January 3, 2014, the plaintiff filed an Amended Complaint, and on February 7, 2014, the Company moved to dismiss certain allegations in the Amended Complaint. The Company intends to defend against this lawsuit vigorously, but is unable to predict the outcome of this lawsuit or reasonably estimate a range of possible loss.
	On December 19, 2011, Sprint Communications Company L.P. filed a complaint in the U.S. District Court for the District of Kansas alleging that the Company infringes 12 patents purportedly relating to Voice over Internet Protocol (“VoIP”) services. The plaintiff is seeking unspecified monetary damages as well as injunctive relief. The Company intends to defend against this lawsuit vigorously, but is unable to predict the outcome of this lawsuit or reasonably estimate a range of possible loss.
	The Company is the defendant in In re: Set-Top Cable Television Box Antitrust Litigation, ten purported class actions filed in federal district courts throughout the U.S. These actions are subject to a Multidistrict Litigation (“MDL”) Order transferring the cases for pretrial proceedings to the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York. On July 26, 2010, the plaintiffs filed a third amended consolidated class action complaint (the “Third Amended Complaint”), alleging that the Company violated Section 1 of the Sherman Antitrust Act, various state antitrust laws and state unfair/deceptive trade practices statutes by tying the sales of premium cable television services to the leasing of set-top converter boxes. The plaintiffs are seeking, among other things, unspecified treble monetary damages and an injunction to cease such alleged practices. On September 30, 2010, the Company filed a motion to dismiss the Third Amended Complaint, which the court granted on April 8, 2011. On June 17, 2011, the plaintiffs appealed this decision to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit. The Company intends to defend against this lawsuit vigorously, but is unable to predict the outcome of this lawsuit or reasonably estimate a range of possible loss.
	On August 9, 2010, the plaintiffs in Michelle Downs and Laurie Jarrett, et al. v. Insight Communications Company, L.P. filed a second amended complaint in a purported class action in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Kentucky alleging that Insight Communications Company, L.P. violated Section 1 of the Sherman Antitrust Act by tying the sales of premium cable television services to the leasing of set-top converter boxes, which is similar to the federal claim against the Company in In re: Set-Top Cable Television Box Antitrust Litigation, discussed above. The plaintiffs are seeking, among other things, unspecified treble monetary damages and an injunction to cease such alleged practices. On July 19, 2013, the Company filed a motion for summary judgment, which argued that Insight Communications Company, L.P. did not coerce the plaintiffs to lease a set-top converter box, a necessary element of the plaintiffs' claim. The Company intends to defend against this lawsuit vigorously, but is unable to predict the outcome of this lawsuit or reasonably estimate a range of possible loss.
	On September 1, 2006, Ronald A. Katz Technology Licensing, L.P. (“Katz”) filed a complaint in the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware alleging that the Company and several other cable operators, among other defendants, infringe 18 patents purportedly relating to the Company's customer call center operations and/or voicemail services. The plaintiff is seeking unspecified monetary damages as well as injunctive relief. On March 20, 2007, this case, together with other lawsuits filed by Katz, was made subject to a MDL Order transferring the cases for pretrial proceedings to the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California. On December 27, 2013, the parties executed a settlement agreement on terms that are not material to the Company and, on January 8, 2014, the court dismissed the action.
	From time to time, the Company receives notices from third parties and, in some cases, is party to litigation alleging that certain of the Company's services or technologies infringe the intellectual property rights of others. Claims of intellectual property infringement could require TWC to enter into royalty or licensing agreements on unfavorable terms, incur substantial monetary liability or be enjoined preliminarily or permanently from further use of the intellectual property in question. In addition, certain agreements entered into by the Company may require it to indemnify the other party for certain third-party intellectual property infringement claims, which could increase the Company's damages and its costs of defending against such claims. Even if the claims are without merit, defending against the claims can be time consuming and costly.
	Other Matters
	The California Attorney General and the Alameda County, California District Attorney are investigating whether certain of the Company's waste disposal policies, procedures and practices are in violation of the California Business and Professions Code and the California Health and Safety Code. These entities are seeking injunctive relief, unspecified civil penalties and attorneys' fees. The Company is unable to predict the outcome of this investigation or reasonably estimate a range of possible loss.
	As part of the TWE Restructuring, Time Warner agreed to indemnify the Company from and against any and all liabilities relating to, arising out of or resulting from specified litigation matters brought against the TWE non-cable businesses. Although Time Warner has agreed to indemnify the Company against such liabilities, TWE remains a named party in certain litigation matters. In connection with an internal reorganization, on September 30, 2012, TWE merged with and into TWCE, with TWCE as the surviving entity.
	The costs and other effects of future litigation, governmental investigations, legal and administrative cases and proceedings (whether civil or criminal), settlements, judgments and investigations, claims and changes in pending matters (including those matters described above), and developments or assertions by or against the Company relating to intellectual property rights and intellectual property licenses, could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition and operating results.

	19.       CONDENSED CONSOLIDATING FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
	Set forth below are condensed consolidating financial statements presenting the financial position, results of operations (including comprehensive income) and cash flows of (i) Time Warner Cable Inc. (the “Parent Company”), (ii) Time Warner Cable Enterprises LLC (“TWCE” or the “Guarantor Subsidiary”), a direct 100% owned subsidiary of the Parent Company, (iii) the direct and indirect non-guarantor subsidiaries of the Parent Company (the “Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries”) on a combined basis and (iv) the eliminations necessary to arrive at the information for Time Warner Cable Inc. on a consolidated basis. The Guarantor Subsidiary has fully and unconditionally guaranteed the debt securities issued by the Parent Company in its 2007 registered exchange offer and subsequent public offerings. The Parent Company directly owns all of the voting and economic interests of the Guarantor Subsidiary.
	There are no legal or regulatory restrictions on the Parent Company's ability to obtain funds from any of its 100% owned subsidiaries through dividends, loans or advances.
	These condensed consolidating financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements of Time Warner Cable Inc.
	Basis of Presentation
	As discussed in Note 1, during the first quarter of 2014, the Company revised its categorization of operating costs and expenses to be consistent with how such costs and expenses are presented to management and to provide a more meaningful presentation. As such, the Company has recast operating costs and expenses in the consolidating statement of operations for prior periods to reflect the new categorization. Refer to Note 1 for further details.
	On September 30, 2012, the Company completed the first phase of an internal reorganization to simplify its organizational structure. As part of this phase of the reorganization, on September 30, 2012, TWE, an indirect 100% owned subsidiary of the Parent Company, merged with and into TWCE, an indirect 100% owned subsidiary of the Company, with TWCE as the surviving entity. In addition, on September 30, 2012, the Parent Company, TWCE, TW NY, a direct 100% owned subsidiary of the Parent Company, TWC Internet Holdings II, an indirect 100% owned subsidiary of the Parent Company, and The Bank of New York Mellon, as trustee, entered into supplemental indentures amending the TWC Indenture and the TWCE Indenture, providing for (i) TWCE's succession to, and assumption of, all of the rights and obligations of TWE as guarantor under the TWC Indenture and as issuer under the TWCE Indenture and (ii) the addition of TWC Internet Holdings II as a guarantor under the TWC Indenture and TWCE Indenture and its assumption of all of the rights and obligations of a guarantor thereunder.
	On November 1, 2013, the Company completed the second phase of an internal reorganization to simplify its organizational structure.  As part of this phase of the reorganization, on November 1, 2013, TW NY merged with and into the Parent Company, with the Parent Company as the surviving entity, and TWC Internet Holdings II merged with and into TWCE, with TWCE as the surviving entity and a direct 100% owned subsidiary of the Parent Company. As a result of this phase of the reorganization, the presentation of the 2012 and 2011 condensed consolidating financial statements has been recast to reflect TWCE as the sole subsidiary guarantor of debt securities issued by the Parent Company.
	In presenting the condensed consolidating financial statements, the equity method of accounting has been applied to (i) the Parent Company's interests in the Guarantor Subsidiary and the Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries and (ii) the Guarantor Subsidiary's interests in the Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries, where applicable, even though all such subsidiaries meet the requirements to be consolidated under GAAP. All intercompany balances and transactions between the Parent Company, the Guarantor Subsidiary and the Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries have been eliminated, as shown in the column “Eliminations.” All assets and liabilities have been allocated to the Parent Company, the Guarantor Subsidiary and the Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries generally based on legal entity ownership. Certain administrative costs have been allocated to the Parent Company, the Guarantor Subsidiary and the Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries based on revenue recorded at the respective entity. A portion of the interest expense incurred by the Parent Company has been allocated to the Guarantor Subsidiary and the Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries based on revenue recorded at the respective entity. The income tax provision has been presented based on each subsidiary's legal entity activity including income tax benefits related to allocated administrative costs and interest expense. Deferred income taxes have been presented based upon the temporary differences between the carrying amounts of the respective assets and liabilities of the applicable entities.
	The Company's condensed consolidating financial information is as follows (in millions):

ACCOUNTING_POLICIES_Policies

ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Policies)	12 Months Ended
	Dec. 31, 2013
Accounting Policies [Abstract]	'
Basis of Consolidation Policy	'
	The consolidated financial statements include all of the assets, liabilities, revenue, expenses and cash flows of TWC and all entities in which TWC has a controlling voting interest. The consolidated financial statements include the results of the Time Warner Entertainment-Advance/Newhouse Partnership (“TWE-A/N”) only for the TWE-A/N cable systems that are controlled by TWC and for which TWC holds an economic interest. Intercompany accounts and transactions between consolidated companies have been eliminated in consolidation.
Use of Estimates Policy	'
	The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates inherent in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements include accounting for allowances for doubtful accounts, depreciation and amortization, business combinations, derivative financial instruments, pension benefits, equity-based compensation, income taxes, loss contingencies, certain programming arrangements and asset impairments. Allocation methodologies used to prepare the consolidated financial statements are based on estimates and have been described in the notes, where appropriate.
Reclassifications Policy	'
	As discussed above, certain reclassifications have been made to the prior year financial information to conform to the current year presentation.
Cash and Equivalents Policy	'
	Cash and equivalents include money market funds, overnight deposits and other investments that are readily convertible into cash and have original maturities of three months or less. Cash equivalents are carried at cost, which approximates fair value.
Short-Term Investments in U.S. Treasury Securities Policy	'
	The Company purchases short-term investments in U.S. Treasury securities from time to time that have original maturities of six months. Such investments are classified as held-to-maturity and stated at amortized cost, which approximates fair value, in the consolidated balance sheet.
Accounts Receivable Policy	'
	Accounts receivable are recorded at net realizable value. The Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts, which is determined after considering past collection experience, aging of accounts receivable, general economic factors and other considerations.
Investments Policy (including impairment policy)	'
	Investments in companies in which TWC has significant influence, but less than a controlling interest, are accounted for using the equity method of accounting. Under the equity method of accounting, only TWC's investment in and amounts due to and from the equity investee are included in the consolidated balance sheet; only TWC's share of the investee's earnings (losses) is included in the consolidated statement of operations; and only the dividends, cash distributions, loans or other cash received from the investee, additional cash investments, loan repayments or other cash paid to the investee are included in the consolidated statement of cash flows. TWC's investments are primarily accounted for using the equity method of accounting.
	The carrying value of investments accounted for using the equity method of accounting is adjusted downward to reflect any other-than-temporary declines in value. A subjective aspect of accounting for investments involves determining whether an other-than-temporary decline in value of the investment has been sustained. If it has been determined that an investment has sustained an other-than-temporary decline in its value, the investment is written down to its fair value by a charge to earnings. This evaluation is dependent on the specific facts and circumstances. TWC evaluates available information (e.g., budgets, business plans, financial statements, etc.) in addition to quoted market prices, if any, in determining whether an other-than-temporary decline in value exists. Factors indicative of an other-than-temporary decline include recurring operating losses, credit defaults and subsequent rounds of financing at an amount below the cost basis of the Company's investment. This list is not all-inclusive and the Company weighs all known quantitative and qualitative factors in determining if an other-than-temporary decline in the value of an investment has occurred.
Long-Lived Assets (including impairment policy)	'
	Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost, and depreciation on these assets is provided using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives. TWC incurs expenditures associated with the construction of its cable systems. Costs associated with the construction of transmission and distribution facilities are capitalized. With respect to customer premise equipment, which includes set-top boxes and high-speed data and telephone modems, TWC capitalizes installation costs only upon the initial deployment of these assets. All costs incurred in subsequent disconnects and reconnects of previously installed customer premise equipment are expensed as incurred. TWC uses standard capitalization rates to capitalize installation activities. Significant judgment is involved in the development of these capitalization standards, including the average time required to perform an installation and the determination of the nature and amount of indirect costs to be capitalized. The capitalization standards are reviewed at least annually and adjusted, if necessary, based on comparisons to actual costs incurred. TWC generally capitalizes expenditures for tangible fixed assets having a useful life of greater than one year. Capitalized costs include direct material, labor and overhead, as well as interest. The costs associated with the repair and maintenance of existing tangible fixed assets are expensed as incurred.
	TWC's finite-lived intangible assets consist primarily of customer relationships, cable franchise renewals and access rights. Acquired customer relationships are capitalized and amortized over their estimated useful lives and costs to negotiate and renew cable franchise rights are capitalized and amortized over the term of the new franchise agreement.
	Long-lived assets (e.g., property, plant and equipment and finite-lived intangible assets) do not require an annual impairment test; instead, long-lived assets are tested for impairment upon the occurrence of a triggering event. Triggering events include the more likely than not disposal of a portion of such assets or the occurrence of an adverse change in the market involving the business employing the related assets. Once a triggering event has occurred, the impairment test is based on whether the intent is to hold the asset for continued use or to hold the asset for sale. If the intent is to hold the asset for continued use, the impairment test first requires a comparison of estimated undiscounted future cash flows generated by the asset group against the carrying value of the asset group. If the carrying value of the asset group exceeds the estimated undiscounted future cash flows, the asset would be deemed to be impaired. The impairment charge would then be measured as the difference between the estimated fair value of the asset and its carrying value. Fair value is generally determined by discounting the future cash flows associated with that asset. If the intent is to hold the asset for sale and certain other criteria are met (e.g., the asset can be disposed of currently, appropriate levels of authority have approved the sale, and there is an active program to locate a buyer), the impairment test involves comparing the asset's carrying value to its estimated fair value. To the extent the carrying value is greater than the asset's estimated fair value, an impairment charge is recognized for the difference. Significant judgments in this area involve determining whether a triggering event has occurred, determining the future cash flows for the assets involved and selecting the appropriate discount rate to be applied in determining estimated fair value.
Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets and Goodwill Policy (including impairment policy)	'
	TWC's indefinite-lived intangible assets consist of cable franchise rights that are acquired in an acquisition of a business. Goodwill is recorded for the excess of the acquisition cost of an acquired entity over the estimated fair value of the identifiable net assets acquired. TWC does not amortize cable franchise rights or goodwill.
	At least annually, the Company performs separate tests to determine if its indefinite lived intangible assets (primarily cable franchise rights) and its goodwill are impaired. Under the accounting rules, the Company can elect to perform a qualitative assessment to determine if an impairment is more likely than not to have occurred. If an impairment is more likely than not to have occurred, then a quantitative assessment is required, which may or may not result in an impairment charge. The determination of whether an impairment is more likely than not to have occurred requires significant judgment regarding potential changes in valuation inputs and includes a review of the Company's most recent long-range projections, analysis of operating results versus the prior year, changes in market values, changes in discount rates and changes in terminal growth rate assumptions.
Business Combinations Policy	'
	The Company must estimate the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed whenever it acquires another business. This requires judgments regarding the identification of acquired assets and liabilities assumed, some of which may not have been previously recorded by the acquired business, as well as judgments regarding the valuation of all identified acquired assets and assumed liabilities. The Company determines the assets acquired and liabilities assumed by reviewing the operations, interviewing management and reviewing the financial, contractual and regulatory information of the acquired business. An example of judgment involved is the determination of whether a pre-acquisition contingency, whose fair value cannot be determined, should be recorded as an assumed liability because the risk of loss is both probable and reasonably estimable. A failure to identify such a liability or to inappropriately record a liability could result in an understatement or overstatement of both liabilities and goodwill. Once the acquired assets and assumed liabilities are identified, the Company estimates the fair values of the assets and liabilities using a variety of approaches that require significant judgments. For example, intangible assets are typically valued using a discounted cash flow (“DCF”) model which requires estimates of the future cash flows that are attributable to the intangible asset. A DCF analysis also requires significant judgments regarding the selection of discount rates that are intended to reflect the risks that are inherent in the projected cash flows, the determination of terminal growth rates, and judgments about the useful life and pattern of use of the underlying intangible asset. As another example, the valuation of acquired property, plant and equipment requires judgments about current market values, replacement costs, the physical and functional obsolescence of the asset and its remaining useful life. A failure to appropriately assign fair values to acquired assets and assumed liabilities could significantly impact the amount and timing of future depreciation and amortization expense, as well as significantly overstate or understate the Company's assets or liabilities.
Derivative Financial Instruments Policy	'
	The Company recognizes all derivative financial instruments in the consolidated balance sheet as either assets or liabilities at fair value. Derivative financial instruments are designated, if certain conditions are met, as either (a) a hedge of the exposure to changes in the fair value of a recognized asset or liability or an unrecognized firm commitment (a “fair value hedge”) or (b) a hedge of the exposure to variable cash flows of a forecasted transaction or a hedge of the foreign currency exposure of a forecasted transaction denominated in a foreign currency (a “cash flow hedge”). For a derivative financial instrument designated as a fair value hedge (e.g., the Company's interest rate swaps), the gain or loss on the derivative financial instrument is recognized in earnings in the period of change together with the offsetting loss or gain on the hedged item attributable to the risk being hedged. As a result, the consolidated statement of operations includes the impact of changes in the fair value of both the derivative financial instrument and the hedged item, which reflects in earnings the extent to which the hedge is ineffective in achieving offsetting changes in fair value. For a derivative financial instrument designated as a cash flow hedge (e.g., the Company's cross-currency swaps), the effective portion of the gain or loss on the derivative financial instrument is initially reported in equity as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), net, and subsequently reclassified into earnings when the hedged item (e.g., a forecasted transaction denominated in a foreign currency) affects earnings. The ineffective portion of the gain or loss is reported in earnings immediately. For a derivative financial instrument not designated as a hedging instrument (e.g., the equity award reimbursement obligation to Time Warner Inc. (“Time Warner”)), the gain or loss is recognized in earnings in the period of change. The Company uses derivative financial instruments primarily to manage the risks associated with fluctuations in interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates and does not enter into derivative financial instruments for speculative or trading purposes.
	The Company determines the fair value of its interest rate swaps using a DCF analysis based on the terms of the contract. This requires estimates of future interest rates and judgments about the future credit worthiness of the Company and each counterparty over the terms of the contracts. Similarly, the Company determines the fair value of its cross-currency swaps using a DCF analysis based on the terms of the contracts. This valuation requires estimates of future interest rates, forward exchange rates and judgments about the future credit worthiness of the Company and each counterparty over the terms of the contracts. The fair value of the equity award reimbursement obligation to Time Warner is estimated using the Black-Scholes model.
Fair Value Measurements Policy	'
	The fair value of an asset or liability is based on the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Valuation techniques consistent with the market approach, income approach and/or cost approach are used to measure fair value. The Company follows a three-tiered fair value hierarchy when determining the inputs to valuation techniques. The fair value hierarchy prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques into three broad levels in order to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. The levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:
	Level 1: consists of financial instruments whose values are based on quoted market prices for identical financial instruments in an active market.
	Level 2: consists of financial instruments whose values are determined using models or other valuation methodologies that utilize inputs that are observable either directly or indirectly, including (i) quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, (ii) quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, (iii) pricing models whose inputs are observable for substantially the full term of the financial instrument and (iv) pricing models whose inputs are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data through correlation or other means for substantially the full term of the financial instrument.
	Level 3: consists of financial instruments whose values are determined using pricing models that utilize significant inputs that are primarily unobservable, DCF methodologies, or similar techniques, as well as instruments for which the determination of fair value requires significant management judgment or estimation.
Pension Plans Policy	'
	TWC sponsors the TWC Pension Plan (as defined in Note 13) and the Union Pension Plan (as defined in Note 13), both qualified defined benefit pension plans, that together provide pension benefits to a majority of the Company's employees. TWC also provides a nonqualified defined benefit pension plan for certain employees. Pension benefits are based on formulas that reflect the employees' years of service and compensation during their employment period. The pension expense recognized by the Company is determined using certain assumptions, including the expected long-term rate of return on plan assets, discount rate and expected rate of compensation increases.
Equity-Based Compensation Policy	'
	The Company measures the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the grant date fair value of the award. That cost is recognized in the consolidated statement of operations over the period during which an employee is required to provide service in exchange for the award. The Company's policy is to recognize the cost of awards not subject to performance-based vesting conditions on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period and, for awards subject to performance-based vesting conditions deemed probable of being met, over the requisite service period for each separately vesting tranche of awards. The Company uses the Black-Scholes model to estimate the grant date fair value of a stock option. Because the option-pricing model requires the use of subjective assumptions, changes in these assumptions can materially affect the fair value of stock options granted. The volatility assumption is calculated using the implied volatility of TWC traded options. The expected term, which represents the period of time that options are expected to be outstanding, is estimated based on the historical exercise experience of TWC employees. The risk-free rate assumed in valuing the stock options is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant for the expected term of the option. The Company determines the expected dividend yield percentage by dividing the expected annual dividend by the market price of TWC common stock at the date of grant.
Segments Policy	'
	Public companies are required to disclose certain information about their reportable operating segments. Operating segments are defined as significant components of an enterprise for which separate financial information is available and is evaluated on a regular basis by the chief operating decision makers in deciding how to allocate resources to an individual operating segment and in assessing performance of the operating segment.
	Effective in the first quarter of 2014, the Company determined it has three reportable segments, which have been determined based on how management evaluates and manages the business. The Company has recast its financial information and disclosures for prior periods to reflect the segment disclosures as if the current presentation had been in effect throughout all periods presented.
	The Company classifies its operations into the following reportable segments:
	Residential Services, which principally consists of video, high-speed data and voice services provided to residential customers as well as other residential services, including home automation and monitoring.
	Business Services, which principally consists of data, video and voice services provided to business customers as well as other business services, including enterprise-class, cloud-enabled hosting, managed applications and services.
	Other Operations, which principally consists of (i) Time Warner Cable Media (“TWC Media”), the advertising arm of TWC, (ii) TWC-owned and/or operated regional sports networks (“RSNs”) and local sports, news and lifestyle channels (e.g., Time Warner Cable News NY1) and (iii) other operating revenues and costs, including those derived from the Advance/Newhouse Partnership and home shopping network-related services. The business units reflected in the Other Operations segment individually do not meet the thresholds to be reported as separate reportable segments.
Revenue and Costs Policy	'
	The Company's revenue consists of the revenue generated by each of its reportable segments: Residential Services, Business Services and Other Operations.
	Residential Services segment revenue consists of (i) video revenue, including subscriber fees received from residential customers for the Company's various tiers or packages of video programming services, related equipment rental charges, installation charges and fees collected on behalf of local franchising authorities and the Federal Communications Commission, as well as revenue from the sale of premium networks, transactional video-on-demand (e.g., events and movies) and digital video recorder service; (ii) high-speed data revenue, including subscriber fees received from residential customers for the Company's high-speed data services and related equipment rental and installation charges; (iii) voice revenue, including subscriber fees received from residential customers for the Company's voice services, along with related installation charges, as well as fees collected on behalf of governmental authorities and (iv) other revenue, including revenue from security and home management services and other residential subscriber-related fees.
	Business Services segment revenue consists of (i) video revenue, including the same fee categories received from business video subscribers as described above under residential video revenue; (ii) high-speed data revenue, including subscriber fees received from business customers for the Company's high-speed data services and related installation charges, as well as amounts generated by the sale of commercial networking and point-to-point transport services, such as Metro Ethernet services; (iii) voice revenue, including subscriber fees received from business customers for the Company's voice services, along with related installation charges, as well as fees collected on behalf of governmental authorities; (iv) wholesale transport revenue, including amounts generated by the sale of point-to-point transport services offered to wireless telephone providers (i.e., cell tower backhaul) and other carriers and (v) other revenue, including revenue from enterprise-class, cloud-enabled hosting, managed applications and services and other business subscriber-related fees.
	Residential and business services subscriber fees are recorded as revenue in the period during which the service is provided. Residential and business services revenue received from subscribers who purchase bundled services at a discounted rate is allocated to each product in a pro-rata manner based on the individual product's selling price (generally, the price at which the product is regularly sold on a standalone basis). Revenue recognition for bundled services is discussed further in “—Multiple-element Transactions—Sales of Multiple Products or Services” below. Installation revenue obtained from subscriber service connections is recognized as a component of residential and business services revenue when the connections are completed, as installation revenue recognized is less than the related direct selling costs.
	Video programming, high-speed data connectivity and voice network costs are recorded as the services are provided. Video programming costs are recorded based on the Company's contractual agreements with its programming vendors, which are generally multi-year agreements that provide for the Company to make payments to the programming vendors at agreed upon rates based on the number of subscribers to which the Company provides the programming service. If a programming contract expires prior to the parties' entry into a new agreement and the Company continues to distribute the service, management estimates the programming costs during contract negotiations. In doing so, management considers the previous contractual rates, inflation and the status of the negotiations in determining its estimates. When the programming contract terms are finalized, an adjustment to programming expense is recorded, if necessary, to reflect the terms of the new contract. Management also makes estimates in the recognition of programming expense related to other items, such as the accounting for free periods and credits from service interruptions, as well as the allocation of consideration exchanged between the parties in multiple-element transactions. Additionally, judgments are also required by management when the Company purchases multiple services from the same programming vendor. In these scenarios, the total consideration provided to the programming vendor is allocated to the various services received based upon their respective estimated fair values. Because multiple services from the same programming vendor may be received over different contractual periods and may have different contractual rates, the allocation of consideration to the individual services may have an impact on the timing of the Company's expense recognition. Accounting for consideration exchanged between the parties in multiple-element transactions is discussed further in “—Multiple-element Transactions—Contemporaneous Purchases and Sales” below.
	Launch fees received by the Company from programming vendors are recognized as a reduction of expense on a straight-line basis over the term of the related programming arrangement. Amounts received from programming vendors representing the reimbursement of marketing costs are recognized as a reduction of marketing expense as the marketing services are provided.
	Other Operations segment revenue consists of advertising revenue and other revenue. Advertising revenue is generated through TWC Media's sale of video and online advertising inventory to local, regional and national advertising customers. Advertising revenue is recognized in the period during which the advertisements are exhibited. Advertising costs are expensed upon the first exhibition of the related advertisements. Marketing expense (including advertising), net of certain reimbursements from programmers, was $676 million in 2013, $653 million in 2012 and $635 million in 2011. Other revenue primarily includes (i) beginning in the fourth quarter of 2012, fees received from distributors of the Company's two Los Angeles regional sports networks (Time Warner Cable SportsNet and Time Warner Cable Deportes) launched on October1, 2012 that carry Los Angeles Lakers' basketball games and other sports programming; (ii) fees paid to TWC by the Advance/Newhouse Partnership for (a) the ability to distribute the Company's high-speed data service and (b) TWC's management of certain functions, including, among others, the acquisition of programming rights, as well as the provision of certain functions, including engineering; and (iii) home shopping network-related revenue (including commissions earned on the sale of merchandise and carriage fees).
	Fees paid to TWC for the ability to distribute TWC's services are recognized as revenue in the period in which TWC's services are distributed to a consumer. Fees received for managing certain functions for the Advance/Newhouse Partnership are recognized as revenue in the period during which the management functions are performed. Home shopping network-related revenue is recognized as revenue in the period during which the merchandise is sold or the carriage fees are earned.
	In February 2014, the Company expects American Media Productions, LLC (“American Media Productions”), an unaffiliated third party, to launch SportsNet LA, a regional sports network that will carry the Los Angeles Dodgers' baseball games and other sports programming. In accordance with long-term agreements with American Media Productions, TWC will act as the network's exclusive advertising and affiliate sales agent and will have certain branding and programming rights with respect to the network. In addition, TWC will provide certain production and technical services to American Media Productions. Upon the launch of SportsNet LA, related revenue, including intersegment revenue, and expenses will be included in the Company's Other Operations segment.
	Multiple-element Transactions
	Multiple-element transactions involve situations where judgment must be exercised in determining the fair value of the different elements in a bundled transaction. As the term is used here, multiple-element transactions can involve (i) contemporaneous purchases and sales (e.g., the Company sells advertising services to a customer and at the same time purchases programming services) and/or (ii) sales of multiple products and/or services (e.g., the Company sells video, high-speed data and voice services to a customer).
	Contemporaneous Purchases and Sales
	In the normal course of business, TWC enters into multiple-element transactions where the Company is simultaneously both a customer and a vendor with the same counterparty. For example, when negotiating the terms of programming purchase contracts with cable networks, TWC may at the same time negotiate for the sale of advertising to the same cable network. Arrangements, although negotiated contemporaneously, may be documented in one or more contracts.
	The Company's accounting policy for each transaction negotiated contemporaneously is to record each element of the transaction based on the respective estimated fair values of the products or services purchased and the products or services sold. The judgments made in determining fair value in such transactions impact the amount of revenue, expenses and net income recognized over the respective terms of the transactions, as well as the respective periods in which they are recognized.
	In determining the fair value of the respective elements, TWC refers to quoted market prices (where available), historical transactions or comparable cash transactions. The most frequent transactions of this type that the Company encounters involve funds received from its vendors. The Company records cash consideration received from a vendor as a reduction in the price of the vendor's product unless (i) the consideration is for the reimbursement of a specific, incremental, identifiable cost incurred, in which case the Company would record the cash consideration received as a reduction in such cost or (ii) the Company is providing an identifiable benefit in exchange for the consideration, in which case the Company recognizes revenue for this element.
	With respect to vendor advertising arrangements being negotiated simultaneously with the same cable network, TWC assesses whether each piece of the arrangement is at fair value. The factors that are considered in determining the individual fair value of the programming vary from arrangement to arrangement and include (i) the existence of a “most-favored-nation” clause or comparable assurances as to fair market value with respect to programming, (ii) a comparison to fees paid under a prior contract and (iii) a comparison to fees paid for similar networks. In determining the fair value of the advertising arrangement, the Company considers advertising rates paid by other advertisers on the Company's systems with similar terms.
	Sales of Multiple Products or Services
	If the Company enters into sales contracts for the sale of multiple products or services, then the Company evaluates standalone selling price for each deliverable in the transaction.  For example, the Company sells video, high-speed data and voice services to subscribers in a bundled package at a rate lower than if the subscriber purchases each product on an individual basis.  Revenue received from such subscribers is allocated to each product in a pro-rata manner based on the standalone selling price of each of the respective services on an individual basis. As another example, if a subscriber moves from a bundled package containing two services to a bundled package containing three services, the increase in the total revenue received is not attributed to the additional service. Rather, the total revenue received from such subscribers are allocated to each of the three products in a pro-rata manner based on the relative selling price of each of the respective services on an individual basis.
	Gross Versus Net Revenue Recognition
	In the normal course of business, the Company acts as or uses an intermediary or agent in executing transactions with third parties. The accounting issue presented by these arrangements is whether the Company should report revenue based on the gross amount billed to the ultimate customer or on the net amount received from the customer after commissions and other payments to third parties. To the extent revenue is recorded on a gross basis, any commissions or other payments to third parties are recorded as expense so that the net amount (gross revenue less expense) is reflected in Operating Income. Accordingly, the impact on Operating Income is the same whether the Company records revenue on a gross or net basis.
	For example, TWC is assessed franchise fees by franchising authorities, which are passed on to the customer. The accounting issue presented by these arrangements is whether TWC should report revenue based on the gross amount billed to the ultimate customer or on the net amount received from the customer after payments to franchising authorities. The Company has determined that these amounts should be reported on a gross basis. TWC's policy is that, in instances where the fees are being assessed directly to the Company, amounts paid to the governmental authorities and amounts received from the customers are recorded on a gross basis. That is, amounts paid to the governmental authorities are recorded as operating costs and expenses and amounts received from the customer are recorded as revenue.
Income Taxes Policy	'
	Income taxes are provided using the asset and liability method. Under this method, income taxes (i.e., deferred tax assets, deferred tax liabilities, taxes currently payable/refunds receivable and tax expense) are recorded based on amounts refundable or payable in the current year and include the results of any difference between GAAP and tax reporting. Deferred income taxes reflect the tax effect of net operating losses, capital losses, general business credit carryforwards and the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amount of assets and liabilities for financial statement and income tax purposes, based upon enacted tax laws and expected tax rates that will be in effect when the temporary differences reverse. Valuation allowances are established when management determines that it is more likely than not that some portion or the entire deferred tax asset will not be realized. The financial effect of changes in tax laws or rates is accounted for in the period of enactment.
	Prior to TWC's separation from Time Warner on March 12, 2009 (the “Separation”), TWC was not a separate taxable entity for U.S. federal and various state income tax purposes and its results were included in the consolidated U.S. federal and certain state income tax returns of Time Warner. The income tax benefits and provisions, related tax payments, and current and deferred tax balances have been prepared as if TWC operated as a stand-alone taxpayer for all periods presented including periods through the date of the Separation. Under a tax sharing arrangement between TWC and Time Warner and with respect to periods prior to the Separation, TWC is obligated to make tax sharing payments to Time Warner in amounts equal to the estimated taxes it would have paid if it were a separate taxpayer and Time Warner is obligated to make payments to TWC for TWC tax attributes used by Time Warner, but only as and when TWC as a standalone taxpayer would have been able to use such attributes itself.
	From time to time, the Company engages in transactions in which the tax consequences may be subject to uncertainty. Examples of such transactions include business acquisitions and dispositions, including dispositions designed to be tax free, issues related to consideration paid or received, investments and certain financing transactions. Significant judgment is required in assessing and estimating the tax consequences of these transactions. The Company prepares and files tax returns based on interpretation of tax laws and regulations. In the normal course of business, the Company's tax returns are subject to examination by various taxing authorities. Such examinations may result in future tax, interest and penalty assessments by these taxing authorities. In determining the Company's income tax provision for financial reporting purposes, the Company establishes a reserve for uncertain income tax positions unless such positions are determined to be more likely than not of being sustained upon examination, based on their technical merits. That is, for financial reporting purposes, the Company only recognizes tax benefits taken on the tax return that it believes are more likely than not of being sustained. There is considerable judgment involved in determining whether positions taken on the tax return are more likely than not of being sustained.
	The Company adjusts its tax reserve estimates periodically because of ongoing examinations by, and settlements with, the various taxing authorities, as well as changes in tax laws, regulations and interpretations. The consolidated income tax provision of any given year includes adjustments to prior year income tax accruals that are considered appropriate and any related estimated interest. The Company's policy is to recognize, when applicable, interest and penalties on uncertain income tax positions as part of income tax provision.
Legal Contingencies Policy	'
	The Company is subject to legal, regulatory and other proceedings and claims that arise in the ordinary course of business. The Company records an estimated liability for those proceedings and claims arising in the ordinary course of business when the loss from such proceedings and claims becomes probable and reasonably estimable. The Company reviews outstanding claims with internal and external counsel to assess the probability and the estimates of loss, including the possible range of an estimated loss. The Company reassesses the risk of loss as new information becomes available and adjusts liabilities as appropriate. The actual cost of resolving a claim may be substantially different from the amount of the liability recorded. Differences between the estimated and actual amounts determined upon ultimate resolution, individually or in the aggregate, are not expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company's consolidated financial position but could possibly be material to the Company's consolidated results of operations or cash flow for any one period.

	Other equity securities consist of preferred stocks, which are valued at the closing price reported on the active market on which the individual securities are traded.
	Corporate debt securities are valued based on observable prices from the new issue market, benchmark quotes, secondary trading and dealer quotes. An option adjusted spread model is incorporated to adjust spreads of issues that have early redemption features and final spreads are added to the U.S. Treasury curve.
	Collective trust funds primarily consist of short-term investment strategies comprised of instruments issued or fully guaranteed by the U.S. government and/or its agencies and are valued using the net asset value provided by the administrator of the fund.

	Cable franchise rights and customer relationships, net, includes deferred income tax assets of approximately $170 million as of December 31, 2012 (none as of December 31, 2013) that relate to intangible assets for which the tax basis exceeds the book basis primarily as a result of the impairment recorded in 2008. Such deferred income tax assets are expected to be realized as the Company receives tax deductions from the amortization, for tax purposes, of the intangible assets.
	Net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards expire in varying amounts through 2033. Aside from certain state tax credit carryforwards for which a valuation allowance has been established, the Company does not expect these carryforwards to expire unutilized.
	The Company's valuation allowance for deferred income tax assets recorded as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, primarily relates to certain state tax credit carryforwards. The valuation allowance is based upon the Company's assessment that it is more likely than not that a portion of the deferred income tax asset will not be realized. The net increase in the valuation allowance of $10 million during 2013 primarily relates to state tax credit carryforwards.
	Deferred income tax liabilities, net, includes current deferred income tax assets of $334 million and $317 million as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.
