Marcus said: “I look forward to continuing to work with Glenn Britt and Landel Hobbs and the rest of our outstanding team in this new capacity. I am excited about our business opportunities ahead and aim to build upon the strong financial organization that John put in place. I remain committed to unlocking the full potential and value of our company for shareholders and look upon my expanded responsibilities as additional tools to get that job done.”

Commenting on Martin’s service, Britt added: “As CFO, John has played an important role in guiding us through our first nine months as a public company. He has built an exceptionally strong finance team here at Time Warner Cable, which should help ensure a seamless transition. We are indebted to John for his exceptional contributions and wish him well in his new role at Time Warner Inc.”

Martin said: “Working with Glenn, Landel and Rob has been a terrific experience and has prepared me well for my new role at Time Warner Inc. I have every confidence that this leadership team will successfully drive the company forward to achieve its goals. Rob is an enormously talented executive and has earned a stellar reputation on Wall Street. He will bring new insights from his broad business experience to the CFO role and I feel good about leaving the financial leadership of this Company in such capable hands.”

Marcus joined Time Warner Cable as Senior Executive Vice President in August 2005, with a broad portfolio of responsibilities, including oversight of the Company’s mergers and acquisitions, programming, legal, human resources and business affairs functions.
