On August 10, 2020, a year after [[Walt Disney Pictures|The Walt Disney Company]]'s acquisition of [[21st Century Fox]], 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 [[Touchstone Television (2020)|short-lived revival of Touchstone Television]] would be folded into 20th Television in December of that year. That is just like the movie arms renamed to [[20th Century Studios]] and [[Searchlight Pictures]] on January 17, 2020, while [[Blue Sky Studios]] shut their doors on April 7, 2021. | |||
