LITTLE ROCK, Ark.--(Business Wire)--
Walden Law Firm, PLLC ("Walden")
(http://www.waldenlawfirm.com/Cases/Charter/Charter.html) today announced that a
class action has been commenced in the United States District Court for the
Eastern District of Arkansas on behalf of purchasers of Charter securities
between October 23, 2006, and February 12, 2009 (the "Class Period").

If you wish to serve as lead plaintiff, you must so move the Court no later than

The complaint charges Charter and certain of its officers and directors with
violations of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Charter operates a broadband
communications business in the United States.

The complaint alleges that during the Class Period, defendants issued materially
false and misleading statements regarding the Company`s ability to service its
debt, its potential for mergers, and the value of its stock. Specifically,
defendants failed to disclose, among other things, that Charter would not be
able service its debt to September 2010, but rather Charter would file
bankruptcy in March of 2009. Also, the Defendants issued misleading statements
about Charter`s potential for mergers. As a result of defendants` false and
misleading statements, Charter`s securities traded at artificially inflated
prices during the Class Period, reaching a high of $ 4.800 on July 19, 2007.

On February 12, 2009, Charter issued a press release stating that it would file
for bankruptcy before April 1, 2009.

Plaintiff seeks to recover damages on behalf of all purchasers of Charter`s
securities during the Class Period (the "Class"). The plaintiff is represented
by Walden Law Firm, PLLC, which has expertise in prosecuting investor class
actions and experience in actions involving financial fraud.
