Charter Communications chairman and CEO Tom Rutledge and his team didn't comment on their M&A priorities on the cable giant's Thursday earnings conference call after CFO Christopher Winfrey said the company would continue to look for opportunistic and accretive deal opportunities.

When an analyst asked for further insight, adding that her firm assumed nothing was imminent and that Charter would not acquire a content company following AT&T's $85.4 billion deal for Time Warner, Winfrey only said that if anything was "material and probable," Charter would have to disclose that.

On Thursday's call, Rutledge was asked about upcoming streaming services, particularly AT&T's soon-to-launch DirecTV Now, which will offer more than 100 channels for $35 per month. One analyst asked if that was priced below the cost of content. “From what I’m seeing, the descriptions of the product set are consistent with the price," Rutledge replied. "I don’t think they are below price. But I also don’t think they are full packages.”
