ST. LOUIS (February 14, 2012) - Cequel Communications Holdings I, LLC ("Cequel,"
and together with its subsidiaries, the "company") announced today that its
subsidiary, Cequel Communications, LLC, has closed on a new $2.7 billion credit
facility (the "new credit facility").

"The fact that we were able to complete this refinancing in today's economic
environment is a testament to our track record and our ability to generate
outstanding operating results," said Jerry Kent, the company's Chairman and
Chief Executive Officer.  "The new credit facility extends our debt maturity
profile and positions us to further execute on our business strategy of
providing a superior level of customer care."

The new credit facility consists of a $500 million revolver and a $2.2 billion
term loan B. The company intends to use proceeds from the   new credit facility to
repay in full and terminate its existing $2.525 billion credit facility and to
make payments to Cequel Communications Holdings, LLC ("Cequel Holdings"),
Cequel`s parent company, of $370 million in March 2012 and up to an additional
$70 million in May 2012. Cequel Holdings intends to use such distributions to
repay a portion of the capital contributions made by holders of common units of
Cequel Holdings and to make certain payments to holders of options and
restricted units of Cequel Holdings. Cequel has no current plans for any further
distributions and will in no case make any such additional distributions prior
to April 1, 2013.
