20th Television

Twentieth Television, Inc. (formerly Twentieth Century Fox Television and TCF Television Productions, Inc.) is a television-production studio to 20th Century Studios (formerly titled 20th Century Fox), currently owned by Walt Disney Television, a division of The Walt Disney Company.

Its notable shows include: The Simpsons, Family Guy, Modern Family, 24, M*A*S*H, This Is Us, New Girl, How I Met Your Mother, and Glee.

History
The television studio was formed in 1949 as other studios were branched out as well. During that time, it was known as TCF Television Productions, Inc. until 1958. Decades later, the studio folded the operations of television production companies it has acquired: Metromedia Producers Corporation in 1986, New World Entertainment in 1997, and MTM Enterprises in 1998, and is the current distributor for most of the shows originally produced by these companies.

From 1986 to 2019, 20th Century Fox Television had served as the official production arm the Fox Broadcasting Company, producing the bulk of television series airing on the television network Fox.

It was formed in 1989 by Fox, Inc. in order to separate 20th Century's television productions from the film studio in order to increase the latter's output. During that time, 20th Television and 20th Century served as two of Fox's four main units, along with the television network Fox Broadcasting Company and Fox Television Stations. Following restructuring of Fox's television production companies in 1994, 20th Television was refocused on syndication and "non-traditional programs"; its network television division was moved back to 20th Century and had retaken the 20th Century Fox Television name.

Twentieth Television distribution arm
20th Television was an American television syndication studio and the syndication and distribution arm of 20th Century Fox Television, including the motion picture studio's output. It owns programming from other production companies and studios it has acquired, including MTM Enterprises, most by Metromedia Producers Corporation, and most by New World Entertainment.

Under Disney Television Studios
In March 2019, The Walt Disney Company's acquisition of 21st Century Fox was finalized. After the acquisition of 21st Century Fox by The Walt Disney Company, president Greg Meidel was laid off.

In August 2020, Disney had rebranded 20th Century Fox Television as 20th Television, as part of the reorganization of Disney Television Studios, as well as to drop the word "Fox" from the acquired assets to avoid brand confusion.
