On December 5, 1994, the '''[[20th Television]]''' unit was restructured, and 20th Television became refocused on syndication and non-traditional programming, and network television production was shifted back to [[20th Century Studios|20th Century Fox]], where it became '''20th Century Fox Television''' again and hired Peter Fairman to serve as president of the studio. Between 1997 and 1998, the company's library expanded by acquiring [[New World Pictures|New World Communications]] and [[MTM Enterprises]]. In 2012, it was reorganized as a separate unit of News Corporation, and two years later, the operations of Fox Broadcasting and 20th Century Fox Television merged into the Fox Television Group. On August 10, 2020, TCFTV was renamed "20th Television" (the name of the company's former [[20th Television|syndication unit]], which was folded into [[Disney Media Distribution]]), as part of a corporate restructuring, similar to the movie distribution siblings being renamed 20th Century Studios and [[Searchlight Pictures]] on January 17, 2020. Today, the former TCFTV library is owned by the Walt Disney Company. TCFTV also produced cable television shows under the [[Fox 21]] name. |

'''Visuals:''' Same as the standard [[20th Television]] logo, but now the stack of words has been modified to resemble the standard Fox stack, with "{{color|gold|TELEVISION}}" added to the bottom. The taller structure now reads "{{color|gold|'''20th CENTURY FOX''' TELEVISION}}". When the logo is finished zooming out, the registered trademark "®" symbol and the News Corporation byline (on pre-2013 episodes) fade in at the same time. |

'''Visuals:''' There is a close-up of the familiar Fox structure, but in CGI, and the structure has "{{color|gold|TELEVISION}}" added to the bottom. The taller structure now reads "{{color|gold|'''20th CENTURY FOX''' TELEVISION}}". The logo zooms out to the familiar Fox logo distance. When the logo is finished zooming out, the registered trademark "®" symbol and the News Corporation byline (on pre-2013 episodes) fade in at the same time. The whole logo is set at daytime as opposed to the usual sunset background of the film logo. |

'''Trivia:''' On both Xbox 360 and PS3 versions of ''The Simpsons Game'', if your console's video setting is set to 480i and the aspect ratio is set to 4:3, the 1998 version of the logo plays, albeit letterboxed. Otherwise, setting it to 16:9 and/or have the video set to 720p or 1080i/p will play the 2007 version instead. |

* On the sitcom ''Andy Richter Controls the Universe'', the text "'''{{Font|Times New Roman|IN ASSOCIATION WITH}}'''" below the News Corporation byline fades in at the same time as the News Corporation byline and there's a black banner at the bottom. This would be followed by the 1995, 2002 or 2003 [[Paramount Television (1967-2006)|Paramount Television]] logos. On the region 1 DVD release of the series from [[CBS Home Entertainment]] and [[Paramount Home Entertainment]], this logo and the Paramount Television logos are plastered by the [[CBS Media Ventures|CBS Television Distribution]] logo, although both the Fox and Paramount logos were retained when the show aired on Universal HD and HDNet a few years ago. It is presumed that international releases of the series on DVD will retain the original end logos since Fox (now Disney) owns the international rights. |

* Starting with the 9th season of ''Bones'' on September 16, 2013, the logo is bylineless. This was due to the split of News Corporation which occurred back at the end of June (with Fox and all of the former company's entertainment divisions going to the then-newly-formed 21st Century Fox). ''The Simpsons'', ''Bob's Burgers'', ''Family Guy'', and ''American Dad!'' still used the byline until November 10, 2013. ''The Simpsons'' and ''Family Guy'' started using the byline-less version on November 17, 2013, while ''Bob's Burgers'' and ''American Dad!'' started using it on November 24, 2013. |

* Most TV airings of Fox shows in French territories (Canada, France, Switzerland, Luxembourg, Belgium, Vietnam) from the late '90s up until the mid-2000s usually opened with the 1995 logo, albeit with a slightly dark/brownish taint and a computer generated fade-in/fade-out. '90s shows used the 1995 theme, while later shows/airings in the 2000s era used the 1997 Fox theme. Airings of widescreen/letterboxed/HD shows like ''Bones'' also used this practice back in the day, but with the 1998 enhanced logo (and no fade-in/fade-out). Recent shows no longer use this practice nowadays. |

'''Visuals:''' The logo starts on the bottom left of the 20th Century Fox structure. Midway through the camera's panning, a yellow light (most likely the sun) shines behind the structure as the second half of the extended fanfare begins, and the camera pans past an additional searchlight in front of the structure before settling into its more usual position and angle. The orange byline "A NEWS CORPORATION COMPANY" fades in at the bottom of the screen. |
|
|
|
|
|
'''Variant:''' On ''Mon incroyable fiancé'', the variation seen on the first three ''X-Men'' films is used. The logo also fades in and begins from a top-down-view from the structure whilst two searchlights are swooping. The logo lasts longer than usual. |
|
|
|
|
|
'''Technique:''' CGI directed by the late Kevin Burns at Studio Productions (now Flip Your Lid Animation), who had previously animated the logos for [[Paramount Pictures]], [[Universal Pictures]], [[Buena Vista Television]], and [[Morgan Creek Entertainment|Morgan Creek]]. Animated in collaboration with Image Savant and Topix. |
