(2)  Not applicable. All filing fees payable in connection with the registration

     Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") of the Registration

                                     PART I.
                             INTRODUCTORY STATEMENT

         AT&T Corp. ("AT&T") hereby amends the S-4 by filing this Post Effective
Amendment  No. 1 on Form S-8 to the S-4 relating to a maximum of 424,696  shares
of Class A Liberty Media Group common stock,  par value $1.00 per share, of AT&T
("Class A Liberty  Stock")  issuable  by AT&T upon the  exercise  of (i) options
issued pursuant to The Todd-AO  Corporation 1986 Stock Option Plan, (ii) options
issued pursuant to The Todd-AO Corporation 1994 Stock Option Plan, (iii) options
issued  pursuant  to The  Todd-AO  Corporation  1995 Stock  Option Plan and (iv)
options  issued  pursuant  to The  Todd-AO  Corporation  1997 Stock  Option Plan
(collectively, the "Todd Stock Options").

         On June 9,  2000,  The  Todd-AO  Corporation,  a  Delaware  corporation
("Todd") reclassified (the  "Reclassification") each share of its Class A Common
Stock  ("Old  Todd Class A Common  Stock")  and each share of its Class B Common
Stock  ("Old  Todd  Class B Common  Stock")  into (i) 0.4 of a share of New Todd
Class A Common Stock ("New Todd Class A Common Stock" or "Liberty Livewire Class
A Common  Stock") and (ii) 0.6 of a share of New Todd Class B Common Stock ("New
Todd Class B Common Stock").  The  Reclassification  was consummated pursuant to
the Agreement and Plan of Merger (the "Merger Agreement"),  dated as of December
10, 1999, as amended,  among AT&T, B-Group Merger Corp., a Delaware  corporation
and a wholly owned subsidiary of AT&T ("Merger Sub"),  Liberty Media Corporation
("Liberty") and Todd.

         On June 9, 2000, after the consummation of the Reclassification, Merger
Sub merged (the "Merger") with and into Todd,  pursuant to the Merger Agreement;
and Todd,  as the  surviving  corporation  in the  Merger,  changed  its name to
"Liberty Livewire Corporation".  When the Merger was consummated (the "Effective
Time"),  among other things, each share of the New Todd Class B Common Stock was
converted into the right to receive 0.83333 of a share of Class A Liberty Stock,
after taking into account a 2-for-1 stock split (the "Stock Split")  effected on
the Class A Liberty  Stock on June 9, 2000.  Pursuant  to the Merger  Agreement,
each Todd Stock Option was converted  into a stock option (a "Rollover  Option")
exercisable  for (i) that number of shares of Class A Liberty Stock,  on a basis
determined by multiplying  the number of shares of Old Todd Class A Common Stock
subject to such Todd Stock Option immediately prior to the  Reclassification  by
0.50, after taking into account the Stock Split (the "Option  Rollover  Ratio"),
rounded to the  nearest  whole  number and (ii) that number of shares of Liberty
Livewire  Class A Common Stock equal to the number of shares of Old Todd Class A
Common  Stock  subject  to such  Todd  Stock  Option  immediately  prior  to the
Reclassification times 0.4, at an exercise price per share equal to the exercise
price  under  such  Todd  Stock  Option as in  effect  immediately  prior to the
Effective Time.

         The designation of this  Post-Effective  Amendment as Registration  No.
333-36458-1 denotes that this Post-Effective Amendment relates only to a maximum
of  424,696  shares of Class A  Liberty  Stock  issuable  upon  exercise  of the
Rollover Options and that this is the first Post-Effective Amendment to the S-4.

ITEM 6. EXHIBITS.

         See Exhibit Index.

ITEM 7. UNDERTAKINGS.

         A.   The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:

              (1)  To file,  during  any  period  in  which  offers  or sales
are  being  made,  a post-effective  amendment  to this  Registration
Statement:  (i) to include any prospectus  required by Section  10(a)(3) of the
Securities Act; (ii) to reflect in the  prospectus  any facts or events  arising
after the effective date of the Registration  Statement (or the most recent
post-effective  amendment  thereof) which,  individually or in the aggregate,
represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the  Registration
Statement;  and (iii) to include any material  information  with respect to the
plan of  distribution  not previously disclosed  in  the  Registration
Statement  or  any  material  change  to  such information in the Registration
Statement;  provided,  however, that clauses (i) and  (ii)  do  not  apply  if
the  information  required  to be  included  in a post-effective amendment by
those clauses is contained in periodic reports filed by the  Registrant
pursuant to Section 13 or Section  15(d) of the Exchange Act that are
incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement;

              (2)  That, for the purpose of  determining  any liability  under
the Securities  Act, each such  post-effective  amendment  shall be  deemed to
be a new  registration statement relating to the securities  offered therein,
and the offering of such securities  at that time shall be deemed to be the
initial  bona fide  offering thereof; and

              (3)  To remove from  registration by means of a  post-effective
amendment any of the securities  being  registered  which  remain  unsold at the
termination  of the offering.

         B.   The undersigned  Registrant  hereby undertakes that, for purposes
of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the
Registrant's  annual report  pursuant to Section  13(a) or Section  15(d) of the
Exchange Act that is incorporated by reference in the Registration  Statement
shall be deemed to be a new registration  statement relating to the securities
offered therein,  and the offering of such  securities at that time shall be
deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

         C.   Insofar as indemnification  for liabilities arising under the
Securities Act may be permitted to directors,  officers and  controlling
persons of the Registrant pursuant  to  the  provisions  described  in  Item 6
above  or  otherwise,  the Registrant  has  been  advised  that  in  the
opinion  of the  Commission  such indemnification  is against public policy as
expressed in the Securities Act and is,  therefore,  unenforceable.  In the
event  that a claim for  indemnification against such  liabilities  (other than
the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director,
officer or controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any
action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director,  officer or
controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the
Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been
settled by  controlling  precedent,  submit to a court of  appropriate
jurisdiction the question whether such  indemnification  by it is against public
policy as  expressed  in the  Securities  Act and will be  governed by the final
adjudication of such issue.
