Charter Communications (Nasdaq: CHTR) continues to lure execs away from other MSOs. The newest addition to the Charter team is Catherine Bohigian, who was named executive vice president of government affairs and will oversee all aspects of Charter's government relations.

Charter CEO Tom Rutledge, who worked at Cablevision and Time Warner Cable (NYSE: TWC) before joining Charter in December 2011, has recruited several former Cablevision and Time Warner Cable executives.
