Sometime in 2020, a year after [[The Walt Disney Company]]'s acquisition of [[21st Century Fox]], the original 20th Television was absorbed into [[Disney Media Distribution]], and TCFTV was rebranded as 20th Television on August 10, 2020 as part of a corporate restructuring. On September 26, 2021, the animated shows handled by 20th Television were transferred to [[20th Television Animation]].

'''Logo:''' We see a close-up of the familiar Fox structure, but now it's in CGI and reads "{{color|gold|'''20th''' TELEVISION}}". A steel line appears below and the area that would normally be reserved for "'''{{color|gold|FOX}}'''" is replaced by a simple {{color|gold}} rectangle. The logo zooms out to the familiar Fox logo distance. The whole logo is set at daytime as opposed to the usual sunset background of the film logo.

'''Byline:''' Starting on September 4, 1994 with ''The Simpsons'' episode "Bart of Darkness", the byline "'''{{Font|Times New Roman|{{color|gold|A NEWS CORPORATION COMPANY}}}}'''" faded in below the logo. Most programs removed the byline after late August 2013.

*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.

*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.

'''FX/SFX:''' The logo zooming out, the clouds and searchlights moving, and the byline fading in. On local reruns of ''South Park'' and TBS reruns of ''Yes, Dear'' with split-screen credits, it's a still logo.

*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.

'''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, until its rename from 20th Century Fox Television in 2020, this logo garnered a lot of resentment by many due to this consistently plastering over old logos; making this one of the most hated closing logos of all time (along with the 2002 [[Sony Pictures Television]], 2004 [[Cookie Jar Entertainment (Canada)|Cookie Jar]], and 2007 [[CBS Media Ventures|CBS Television Distribution]] logos), with this logo eventually getting better praise in the end. Only time will tell if this logo will be upgraded to resemble its film counterpart.
