'''TCF Television Productions''' was formed on March 15, 1949 by [[20th Century Studios|20th Century Fox]] (but also known as '''T'''wentieth '''C'''entury-'''F'''ox) as other studios were branching out into television production. The first TV series was ''Crusade in Europe''. In 1955, the studio officially began television production, and the first one was ''The 20th Century-Fox Hour'', which was designed to capitalize on ABC's popular show ''Disneyland''. 20th Century Fox also owned a stake in the NTA Film Network from 1956 to 1961, and has produced some of the most popular television programs over the years. It was renamed to '''[[20th Century Fox Television (1958-1989)|20th Century Fox Television]]''' in 1958. |

Background
TCF Television Productions was formed on March 15, 1949 by 20th Century Fox (but also known as Twentieth Century-Fox) as other studios were branching out into television production. The first TV series was Crusade in Europe. In 1955, the studio officially began television production, and the first one was The 20th Century-Fox Hour, which was designed to capitalize on ABC's popular show Disneyland. 20th Century Fox also owned a stake in the NTA Film Network from 1956 to 1961, and has produced some of the most popular television programs over the years. It was renamed to 20th Century Fox Television in 1958.

- FILMED AT THE HOLLYWOOD STUDIOS OF TCF TELEVISION PRODUCTIONS, INC.

Variants:
- In some cases, this logo is superimposed over the ending credits image.
- In color shows, the tower is yellow-orange and the background is blue.
Technique: A still card produced on print.
Audio: The closing theme of the show.
