The deal, which is contingent on Comcast Corporation's (NASDAQ: CMCSA) acquisition of Time Warner Cable Inc (NYSE: TWC) will make Advance Newhouse, Bright House's owner, Charter Communications' largest shareholder.

This move follows Charter's bid last year for Time Warner Cable, which was ultimately not accepted in favor of the bid from Comcast.

Shares of Comcast gained 1.2 percent in the premarket.
