Line 88:
* On the ''Christmas with the Simpsons'' DVD, it plasters over the 6th 20th Century Fox Television logo on the Christmas special. Most episodes of ''The Simpsons'' on DVD up until towards the end of season 6 have this logo (though a few episodes on the season 1 and 3 DVD sets use the original 1989-1993 TCFTV logo instead), although it did make an appearance at the end of the season 9 episode "The Principal and the Pauper".
*Strangely, it is seen after the TCFTV logo on many episodes of ''Family Guy'' and ''Futurama'' on Adult Swim and TBS. The enhanced version is just as common, and was seen until 2019 on ''Family Feud'', ''Divorce Court'', and ''The Wendy Williams Show'', among other current series, before 2 of 3 were transferred to [[CBS Television Distribution]], as well as ''King of the Hill'' reruns on Adult Swim & syndication, reruns of ''Are You Smarter Than a Fifth Grader?'' on GSN, and Netflix viewings, and the StarVista/Time Life DVDs of ''The Wonder Years'' (plastering the [[New World Entertainment|New World Television]] logo). One early sighting of the enhanced variant was Cartoon Network's airing of ''Garfield Gets Real''.
*
*Strangely, this has plastered the original [[20th Century Studios|20th Century Fox]] logo on the trailer of ''Project X'' (the 1987 film starring Matthew Broderick) on recent home releases of the film. The enhanced logo, with News Corporation byline appears on various episodes from season 1 and 2 of the 2014 Shout! Factory complete series release of ''The Bob Newhart Show''. This plasters the 2007 TCFTV logo on ''Family Guy'' episode "Lois Comes Out of Her Shell" on Adult Swim. The earliest sighting of the extended bylineless logo was on the syndie print of ''Family Guy''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s season 11 finale.
*The bylineless logo plasters the one with the byline that used to appear on syndie prints of ''Family Guy'' seasons 10 & 11 episodes. The 1995 variant makes a surprise appearance at the end of the VHS release of ''Goosebumps: The Haunted Mask'' and some seasons 1 and 4 episodes of ''It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia'' on international airings.

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. The short-lived revival of Touchstone Television would be folded into 20th Television in December of that year.
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.
