The correct answer to this open question is the following.

the motives for mergers and acquisitions that apply to Charter's acquisition of Time Warner Cable was that Charter wanted to consolidate ist big business to form a big conglomerated in the Industry of Mass Media Communications. The merger allowed Charter to increase its entertainment offer due to the fact that Time Warner already had a respectable and well-positioned place in the industry. The agreement was reached on May 26, 2015, in amicable terms.
