DiGeronimo turned heads with October’s launch of the Xumo Stream Box as Charter’s go-to-market device for new video customers. He was instrumental in making Charter the first provider to roll out the device, which combines streaming apps with the Spectrum TV video service. Meanwhile, the Spectrum TV App remains the most-viewed streaming service in the U.S. on an hours-per-household basis, according to the Comscore OTT Intelligence reports. DiGeronimo’s teams also made significant progress on Charter’s network evolution in 2023, utilizing high-split architecture to launch symmetrical gigabit speeds in several markets and setting the course to complete deployment across the Charter’s 41-state footprint in the years to come.
Was Charter’s Disney deal precedent setting? Our collective goal was to build an innovative model for the future. This deal recognizes both the continued value of linear television and the growing popularity of streaming services, while addressing the evolving needs of our consumers.
