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. 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.
