20th Television
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Twentieth Television, Inc. (also referred to as 20th Television) is an American television distribution company that was formed in 1992 by 20th Century Fox Film Corporation, a division of News Corporation. 20th Television also produces their own programs and distributes them across the nation (though as a rule, all copyright notices of programming produced by a Fox-related company and distributed by 20th Television reads © (respective year) Twentieth Century Fox Film Corporation).
20th Television not only distributes programs by its sister companies 20th Century Fox Television, Fox Television Studios, Fox Television Stations Productions, and Foxstar Productions, but from strategic partner Regency Television, and the following acquired libraries: MTM Enterprises, Genesis Entertainment, Metromedia Producers Corporation, Four Star Productions and select programming from New World Television and Cannell Entertainment. 20th Television also distributes Fox's movie library.
From 1992 to 1994, the 20th Television logo was also used to represent 20th Century Fox Television.
