Spectrum Has Lost 4.8 Million Subscribers Since It Peaked Almost 10 Years Ago
Spectrum, owned by Charter Communications, has shed about 4.8 million video subscribers since its 2016 peak following a $55 billion merger that briefly gave it 17.3 million customers. By Q1 2026 the base fell to roughly 12.5 million, a 28% decline, reflecting the broader cord‑cutting trend. However, the company’s recent strategy of bundling major streaming services and promoting Xumo hardware has steadied the loss and even produced modest gains in late 2025. Analysts see this as a potential turning point for the cable giant.
