20th Television (spelled as "Twentieth Television") started out as the television syndication arm of 20th Century Fox Television. Previously under Fox Television Stations, it 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 produced their own programs and distributed them across the nation. Sometime in 2020, a year after The Walt Disney Company's acquisition of 20th Century Fox and its divisions, the original 20th Television was merged into Disney Media Distribution, and TCFTV was rebranded to the name of the former on August 10, 2020 as part of a corporate restructuring.
Nicknames: "The Searchlights", "Early CGI Searchlights", "Zooming Tower", "The Tower of Tepidity", "The 20th Tower", "Tower of Annoyance", "TTV Tower", "Great Structure on TV"
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. The whole logo is set at daytime as opposed to the usual sunset background of the film logo.
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 removed the byline 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: Ultra 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.
