Line 70:
*On [[Channel 4 (UK)|Channel 4]] broadcasts of a small number of episodes of ''The Simpsons'' (noticeable on the episode "Last Exit to Springfield"), the audio for the 1992 fanfare fades out very quickly as the last note plays.
*On some ''Family Guy'' episodes, AMC's prints of ''Omen IV: The Awakening'' and ''Mr. Popper's Penguins'', and CourtTV Mystery's airings of ''Sleeping With the Enemy'', the 1995 theme is heard on the 2013 logo.
*On a airing of the ''Family Guy'' episode "Road to the Multiverse" on Adult Swim from April 1, 2017, the 1997 TCFTV jingle is strangely made in a glitch. This is what happened to other AS shows on this broadcast day (e.g. ''Seinfeld'' stings, laugh track, robotic voices, pitch shifted voices, etc.).
'''Availability:''' Extremely common.
Line 81 ⟶ 82:
* Oddly, many ''Hill Street Blues'' reruns on Heroes & Icons use prints where this is seen at the end alone, plastering the [[MTM Enterprises]] logo. As such, it cuts in abruptly and interrupts the end theme.
*On current prints (digital, TV, etc...) of ''Home Alone 4'', the 2008 version plasters the Fox Television Studios logo.
*Since Disney rebranded 20th Century Fox Television as 20th Television in 2020, the bylineless logo can be seen on the new seasons of ''The Simpsons'' (using the 2008 jingle), ''Bless the Harts'' (using the 2015 TCFTV jingle), ''Bob's Burgers'' (using the 2007 TCFTV jingle) and ''Family Guy'' (using the 1997 TCFTV jingle) on Fox, replacing the 2013 TCFTV logo. This bylineless logo will likely be seen on other Fox shows to replace the 2013 TCFTV logo until the end of 2020.
'''Editor's Note:''' A marvelous CGI re-imagining of the classic Fox logo, which predated the actual [[20th Century Studios|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.

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.
