Three large cable operators reported significant improvements in recruiting or retaining video subscribers last quarter, a development that could ease investor concerns about the pace of pay-TV cord-cutting. On Thursday, Charter Communications Inc. said it added 12,000 video customers in the period, up from a loss of 9,000 in the year-ago quarter. Time Warner Cable Inc., which is being acquired by Charter pending regulatory approval, lost just 7,000 residential video subscribers compared with 184,000 in the same period last year. Earlier this week, Comcast Corp. reported it had substantially reduced its video subscriber losses.
