Overview and history
20th Century Fox Television was founded in 1949 when other studios were also entering television production. Until 1958, the company was known as TCF Television Productions, Inc. TCFTV controlled the operation of the television production companies it acquired: Metromedia Producers Corporation in 1986, New World Entertainment in 1997, and MTM Enterprises in 1998. It is, too the current distributor (through its sales division, 20th Television) for most of the shows originally produced by these companies .
Since 1986, 20th Century Fox Television has served as the official production arm of Fox television (with Fox Television Studios being considered the network's unofficial television production division ) and produces the majority of the television series that are broadcast on television . TCFTV produced the first two series to air on Fox's sister network MyNetworkTV: the telenovelas Desire and Fashion House.
In 1989, the functions of 20th Century Fox Television were taken over by Twentieth Television Corporation, a separate entity from 20th Century Fox Film Corporation. Both companies were subsidiaries of News Corporation Unit Fox Inc .; The move was taken to separate television production from the film studio in order to increase its output. After a reorganization of Fox television production in 1994, 20th Television returned to its focus on syndication and "non-traditional programming," while network television programming was again under the 20th Century Fox Television banner and once again became a division of the film studio. In 1998, MTM was renamed 20th Century Fox Television. In 2012, 20th Century Fox Television was reorganized as a separate entity from News Corporation.
As with most of its sibling studios, copyright notices on programming produced by either the television or syndicate departments are the copyright of the entire film studio; H. "© (each year) Twentieth Century Fox Film Corporation".
Notable shows from 20th Century Fox Television include: M * A * S * H , Glee , How I Met Your Mother , Bones , Empire , Family Guy , 24 , Modern Family , This Is Us , American Dad , Buffy , Futurama , New Girl , American Horror Story, and especially the X-Files and The Simpsons .
