Last update: November 6, 2009 - 9:58 AM

WEST POINT, Ga. - Knology Inc., a cable, phone and Internet services provider, said it posted a $3.3 million quarterly loss because of hefty accounting charges and other costs to amend a credit facility.

Excluding these charges, Knology posted profit of $1.8 million, or 5 cents per share, in the most recent period.
