Line 50:
*1993-1995: The remastered TCFTV 1989 jingle. It is similar to the above variation, but slightly slower in tempo.
*1995-2008: A re-arranged and re-recorded variant of the 1989 TCFTV jingle by Bruce Broughton. This one is more reverberant than the original, but it's slightly different from the 1995 TCFTV theme, namely less [audible] drum beats.
*1997-
*2008-: The 2007 TCFTV logo theme.
*2008-: The short version of the 1997 20th Century Fox fanfare. It sounds like an extended version of the 1995 fanfare. It's seen on ''King of the Hill'' on Adult Swim.
*2009-: Shortened version of above. Sounds like a re-arranged version of the 1995 jingle, but not quite the 2007 TCFTV logo theme. It's seen on TV broadcasts of ''Die Hard 2'' on AMC, as well as the ''King of the Hill'' S4 episode "Peggy's Fun Fair" on Adult Swim.
*September 2009-: There is a shortened version that plays the first few notes of the theme and the rest fades out. This version can be seen on syndicated prints of [[Revolution Studios]] movies, ''Family Feud'' since season 12, ''The Wendy Williams Show'', and ''Modern Family''.
*September 27, 2020-: The 2015 TCFTV logo theme.

Previously under Fox Television Stations, 20th Television (spelled as "Twentieth Television") was the television syndication arm of The Walt Disney Company's 20th Century Fox Television that was launched in 1989 originally as an in-name-only brand of TCFTV known as "Twentieth Television Corporation" (and structurally officialized in 1995). 20th Television also produces their own programs and distributes them across the nation. Sometime in 2020, it was merged into Disney Media Distribution, and the former name was applied to TCFTV on August 10, 2020 as part of a corporate restructuring.
Nicknames: "The Searchlights", "CGI Searchlights", "Zooming Tower", "The Tower of Tepidity", "The 20th Tower", "Tower of Annoyance"
Logo: We see a close-up of the familiar Fox structure, but now it's in CGI and reads "20th TELEVISION". A steel line appears below and the area that would normally be reserved for "FOX" is replaced by a simple gold rectangle. The logo zooms out to the familiar Fox logo distance.
Trivia: This logo was also used to represent 20th Century Fox Television from September 18, 1992-April 16, 1995, replacing the 1981-1993 "20th Television Fox" logo.
Byline: Starting on September 4, 1994 with The Simpsons episode "Bart of Darkness", the byline "A NEWS CORPORATION COMPANY" faded in below the logo. Most programs used the bylineless version after late August 2013.
Variants:
FX/SFX: The logo zooming out and the clouds and searchlights moving. On local reruns of South Park and TBS reruns of Yes, Dear with split-screen credits, it's a still logo.
Music/Sounds: Here are the main versions:
Music/Sounds Variants:
Availability: Extremely common.
Editor's Note: A marvelous CGI re-imagining of the classic Fox logo, which predated the actual 20th Century Fox CGI logo by two years. However, this also garnered a lot of resentment by many due to this consistently plastering over old logos.
