NEW YORK — Time Warner Cable Inc. (NYSE:TWC) today reported financial results for its second quarter ended June 30, 2015.

Residential video net subscribers declined 45,000 in the quarter – the best second quarter since 2008.

Residential video revenue decreased due to a year-over-year decline in video subscribers, partially offset by an increase in average revenue per subscriber primarily as a result of price increases, higher transactional video-on-demand revenue (due to the May 2015 Mayweather vs. Pacquiao fight) and growth in premium network revenue.
