                              SENIOR NOTE OFFERING


         ST. LOUIS - Charter Communications, Inc. (Nasdaq: CHTR - the Company or
CCI) today announced that its subsidiaries, CCO Holdings, LLC and CCO Holdings
Capital Corp., have closed on the issuance of $500 million 8.75% Senior Notes
due 2013 (the "Notes") in a private transaction.

         The net proceeds of this issuance will be used to repay indebtedness
under the revolving credit facilities of the Company's subsidiaries and for
other general corporate purposes. With the completion of this financing, the
Company intends to terminate the backstop commitment it received from Vulcan,
Inc. since the financing satisfies the purpose of that commitment.

         The Notes were sold to qualified institutional buyers in reliance on
Rule 144A and outside the United States to non-U.S. persons in reliance on
Regulation S. The Notes will not be registered under the Securities Act of 1933,
as amended (the Securities Act), and, unless so registered, may not be offered
or sold in the United States except pursuant to an exemption from, or in a
transaction not subject to, the registration requirements of the Securities Act
and applicable state securities laws. This press release shall not constitute an
offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy, nor shall there be any
sale of the Notes in any state in which such offer, solicitation or sale would
be unlawful.
