Media execs discuss the race for Time Warner Cable

• Charter Communications (NASDAQ:CHTR) CEO Thomas Rutledge says the company doesn't need to buy Time Warner Cable (TWC) in order to grow its business.
• During an exchange on CNBC with Liberty Media's (LMCA) Greg Maffei sitting in, Rutledge called the run for TWC a "rather frothy" experience with both Cox Communications and Comcast (NASDAQ:CMCSA) in the mix.
• Maffei, for his part, said TWC isn't the only cable player out there that would make an attractive fit for Charter.
