Line 60:
*In some cases, it uses the closing theme of the show or is silent, such as on ''Alien Nation: Body and Soul''.
*There was a low tone of the remastered 1989 theme from 1992-1995 on reruns of ''Dynasty''. A low tone version of the 1995 theme exists. This was spotted on a later French print of the pilot episode of ''Manimal''.
*Same as before, on some co-produced shows, a generic theme was used
*A version exists on 2007-2008 episodes of ''Family Guy'' that is the present day jingle, but sounds like it is played on a xylophone.
*Syndie prints of ''Family Guy'' using the '92 logo have a loud, pronounced version of the 1995 TCFTV jingle. When syndie/network prints of ''Cops'' and other shows use this jingle, it sounds normal.
*On older syndicated prints of Revolution Studios movies, the Bruce Broughton version of the TCFTV jingle sounds rather loud and is slightly cut off at the beginning. One example is the syndicated print of ''13 Going on 30'' when it aired back in January 2010.
Line 67 ⟶ 68:
*On Me-TV's print of the ''Batman'' S2 episode "That Darn Catwoman", the 1961 TCFTV theme is heard. On 2008-2010 episodes of ''Family Feud'' and local syndicated reruns of ''Futurama'', the 1995 and 2008 themes were edited a bit, with the second half only.
*On syndicated prints of shows like ''King of the Hill'' and ''Cops'', the original 20th Television jingles from 1995 and 1997 may be heard during the 2008 logo. In exceptional cases, a soundbite of the show is used.
*The syndie print of the ''How I Met Your Mother'' episode "w/Bro Code 107" shows the short version of the '08 logo but the normal-length fanfare plays during the other half of the Bays-Thomas logo. The fanfare has a [subtle] choir too
*On airings of the ''Family Guy'' episode "He's Bla-ack!" on Adult Swim, the 2013 20th Television logo is used, yet the 1995 fanfare is heard. Usually, the 2013 TCFTV logo is used on newer episodes, with the correct fanfare.
*On the syndie print of the ''Family Guy'' episode "Chris Cross", a portion of the '08 20th Television fanfare used on the 2007 TCFTV logo can be heard when cutting to black before the SAP cast.
*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.

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.
