STAMFORD, Conn., July 24, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Charter Communications, Inc. (NASDAQ: CHTR) (along with its subsidiaries, "Charter") today announced that Dr. John C. Malone has retired from the Charter Board of Directors, but will continue to serve the company as a director emeritus.

"The Board and I appreciate John's service to Charter and will continue to benefit from his counsel as a director emeritus," said Thomas M. Rutledge, Charter's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer.
Dr. Malone said, "I am retiring from the board of Charter to reduce my travel and focus on fewer board positions.
