pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, or as otherwise indicated, are
hereby incorporated by reference in this registration statement:

     1. The Annual Report of the Company on Form 10-K for the year ended

     2. The Company's Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarters ended

     3. The description of the Company's Class A Common Stock, par value $.01
        per share, contained in its Registration Statement on Form 8-A/A as
        filed with the Commission on July 28, 1999, pursuant to Section 12(b) of

     4. All other reports filed pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the
        Exchange Act since December 31, 1999.

  All documents and reports subsequently filed by the Company pursuant to
Sections 13, 14 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 after the date
of this registration statement and prior to the filing of a post-effective
amendment to this registration statement which indicates that all securities
offered hereby have been sold, or which deregisters all such securities
remaining unsold, shall be deemed to be incorporated by reference in this
registration statement and to be a part hereof from the date of filing of such
documents or reports. Any statement, information or document incorporated hereby
by reference or deemed to be incorporated herein by reference and to be a part
hereof may be automatically updated or replaced by documents the Company
subsequently files which also are or are deemed to be incorporated herein by
reference. Any statement, information or document so modified or superseded will
not be deemed, except as so modified or superseded, to constitute a part of this
registration statement.

Item 4. Description of Securities.

  Not applicable.

Item 5. Interests of Named Experts and Counsel.

  Not applicable.

Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.

  Article VII of the Bylaws of the Company provides that to the fullest extent
permitted under the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the
"DGCL"), the Company will indemnify and hold harmless any person that was or is
made or threatened to be made a party or is otherwise involved in any action,
suit or proceeding by reason of the fact that such person is or was a director
or officer of the Company.

                                     II-3
<PAGE>

  Section 145 of the DGCL provides that a corporation may indemnify directors
and officers as well as other employees and individuals against expenses
(including attorney' fees), judgments, fines, and amounts paid in settlement in
connection with specified actions, suits or proceedings, whether civil,
criminal, administrative or investigative (other than an action by or in the
right of the corporation--a "derivative action"), if they acted in good faith
and in a manner they reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best
interests of the corporation and, with respect to any criminal actions or
proceedings, had no reasonable cause to believe their conduct was unlawful. A
similar standard is applicable in the case of derivative actions, except that
indemnification only extends to expenses (including attorneys' fees) actually
and reasonably incurred in connection with the defense or settlement of such
action, except that no indemnification may be made in respect of any claim or
matter as to which the person has been adjudged to be liable to the corporation
unless the court determines upon application that, in view of all of the
circumstances, the person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for
expenses. The Company also has obtained insurance policies which provide
coverage for its directors and officers in certain situations, including some
situations where the Company cannot directly indemnify the directors or
officers.

  The By-laws of Time Warner Inc. ("TWI") require indemnification to the fullest
extent permitted under Delaware or other applicable law of any person who is or
was a director or officer of TWI, and permit such indemnification of any agent
of TWI, who is or was involved or threatened to be made so involved in any
action, suit or proceeding, whether criminal, civil, administrative or
investigative, by reason of the fact that such person is or was serving at the
request of TWI as a director, officer or employee of any other enterprise. Mr.
Hays, a director would, be automatically covered by this provision; TWI has
agreed to cover Messrs. Britt and Davies, directors of the Company. The
Directors' and Officers' Liability and Reimbursement Insurance Policy of TWI is
designed to reimburse TWI for any payments made by it pursuant to the foregoing
indemnification. In addition, generally, the By-laws of American Television and
Communications Corporation ("ATC"), Time Warner Companies, Inc. ("TWCI") and
Warner Communications Inc. ("WCI"), subsidiaries of TWI that hold interests in
the Company, provide for the indemnification of the officers and directors of
ATC, TWCI and WCI to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law. Messrs.
Britt, Davies and Hays, are officers of ATC and Mr. Hays is also an officer of
TWCI and WCI.

Item 7. Exemption from Registration Claimed.

  Not applicable.

Item 8. Exhibits.

  The exhibits listed on the accompanying Exhibit Index are filed or
incorporated by reference as part of this registration statement.

Item 9. Undertakings.

  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 of 1933;

         (ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the
              effective date of this registration statement (or the most recent
              post-effective amendment thereof) which,

                                     II-4
<PAGE>

               individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change
               in the information set forth in the registration statement;

         (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 paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) do not apply if
     the registration statement is on Form S-3, Form S-8, or Form F-3 and the
     information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those
     paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed with or furnished to the
     Commission by the Registrant pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the
     Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in the
     registration statement.

     (2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities
         Act of 1933, 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.

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

  The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining
any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the Registrant's
annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act
of 1934 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.

  Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of
1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the
Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant
has been advised that in the opinion of the Commission, such indemnification is
against public policy as expressed in the 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 Act and
will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

     2. The Company's Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarters ended

        filed with the Commission on July 28, 1999, pursuant to Section 12(b) of

     4. All other reports filed pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the

  All documents and reports subsequently filed by the Company pursuant to
Sections 13, 14 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 after the date
of this registration statement and prior to the filing of a post-effective
amendment to this registration statement which indicates that all securities

not be deemed, except as so modified or superseded, to constitute a part of this
registration statement.

Item 4. Description of Securities.

  Not applicable.

Item 5. Interests of Named Experts and Counsel.

  Not applicable.

Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.

  Article VII of the Bylaws of the Company provides that to the fullest extent
permitted under the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the
"DGCL"), the Company will indemnify and hold harmless any person that was or is
made or threatened to be made a party or is otherwise involved in any action,
suit or proceeding by reason of the fact that such person is or was a director
or officer of the Company.

                                     II-3
Section 145 of the DGCL provides that a corporation may indemnify directors
and officers as well as other employees and individuals against expenses
(including attorney' fees), judgments, fines, and amounts paid in settlement in
connection with specified actions, suits or proceedings, whether civil,
criminal, administrative or investigative (other than an action by or in the
right of the corporation--a "derivative action"), if they acted in good faith
and in a manner they reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best
interests of the corporation and, with respect to any criminal actions or
proceedings, had no reasonable cause to believe their conduct was unlawful. A
similar standard is applicable in the case of derivative actions, except that
indemnification only extends to expenses (including attorneys' fees) actually
and reasonably incurred in connection with the defense or settlement of such
action, except that no indemnification may be made in respect of any claim or
matter as to which the person has been adjudged to be liable to the corporation
unless the court determines upon application that, in view of all of the
circumstances, the person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for
expenses. The Company also has obtained insurance policies which provide
coverage for its directors and officers in certain situations, including some
situations where the Company cannot directly indemnify the directors or
officers.

  The By-laws of Time Warner Inc. ("TWI") require indemnification to the fullest
extent permitted under Delaware or other applicable law of any person who is or
was a director or officer of TWI, and permit such indemnification of any agent
of TWI, who is or was involved or threatened to be made so involved in any
action, suit or proceeding, whether criminal, civil, administrative or
investigative, by reason of the fact that such person is or was serving at the
request of TWI as a director, officer or employee of any other enterprise. Mr.
Hays, a director would, be automatically covered by this provision; TWI has
agreed to cover Messrs. Britt and Davies, directors of the Company. The
Directors' and Officers' Liability and Reimbursement Insurance Policy of TWI is
designed to reimburse TWI for any payments made by it pursuant to the foregoing
indemnification. In addition, generally, the By-laws of American Television and
Communications Corporation ("ATC"), Time Warner Companies, Inc. ("TWCI") and
Warner Communications Inc. ("WCI"), subsidiaries of TWI that hold interests in
the Company, provide for the indemnification of the officers and directors of
ATC, TWCI and WCI to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law. Messrs.
Britt, Davies and Hays, are officers of ATC and Mr. Hays is also an officer of
TWCI and WCI.

Item 7. Exemption from Registration Claimed.

  Not applicable.

Item 8. Exhibits.

  The exhibits listed on the accompanying Exhibit Index are filed or
incorporated by reference as part of this registration statement.

Item 9. Undertakings.

  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 of 1933;

         (ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the
              effective date of this registration statement (or the most recent
              post-effective amendment thereof) which,

                                     II-4
individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change
               in the information set forth in the registration statement;

         (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 paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) do not apply if
     the registration statement is on Form S-3, Form S-8, or Form F-3 and the
     information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those
     paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed with or furnished to the
     Commission by the Registrant pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the
     Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in the
     registration statement.

     (2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities
         Act of 1933, 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.

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

  The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining
any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the Registrant's
annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act
of 1934 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.

  Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of
1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the
Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant
has been advised that in the opinion of the Commission, such indemnification is
against public policy as expressed in the 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 Act and
will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

                                     II-5
