Previously under [[Fox Television Stations Productions|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.

*In the logo's early years (before the use of the byline), the zoom out appeared slower and the opening shot was much closer to the structure. In 2008, the 20th TV logo was given a more "enhanced" look with more realistic effects, just like its network television counterpart. However, some Adult Swim and TBS airings of ''Family Guy'' S7-10 episodes use the 1992 logo with the byline and the 1995 fanfare.

*A slightly longer version of the 1994 logo, where the two searchlights to the right (behind the structure) touch each other and the front right searchlight leans toward the left, exists.

*On some prints of ''The Simpsons'' episodes between 1992 and 1994, the 1992 logo fades in near the end of the zoom out, and then fades out a few seconds later. It's similar in a way to the 1994/5 variant with the byline, barring the fade in at the start. Channel 4's print of the episode "Homer the Heretic" features this variation.

*1992-1995: The 1989 TCFTV logo theme.

*September 2009-: There is a shortened version that plays the first few notes of the theme and the rest fades out. This version can be seen on syndicated prints of [[Revolution Studios]] movies, ''Family Feud'' since season 12, ''The Wendy Williams Show'', and ''Modern Family''.

*In some cases, it uses the closing theme of the show or is silent, such as on ''Alien Nation: Body and Soul''.

*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.

*This was plastered onto most shows that Fox distributes, even classic shows they own, with the exception of ''The Many Loves of Dobie Gillis'' (the 1960s TCFTV logo is integrated into the closing credits with the closing theme). It even shows up on DVDs of Fox shows.

*The opening variant is only seen on some TV airings of the 1972 film ''The Poseidon Adventure'', though AMC's print of the film shows the 1994 20th Television logo at the beginning of the film.

* 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.
