The Charter Communications purchase of Bright House Networks and Time Warner Cable just took another step forward.
The California Public Utilities Commission has voted unanimously to approve the deal.
Thursday's decision was the final government regulatory approval. The Federal Communications Commission already approved the purchase last Friday.
The deal creates the country's second largest cable and broadband company.
The deal is expected to close on or around May 18.
Bright House Networks is the parent company of Bay News 9, News 13, Bright House Sports Network and InfoMás.
