==History==
20th Television was formed in 1989 by Fox, Inc. (the ] unit that oversaw 20th Century Fox at that time) in order to separate 20th Century Fox's television productions (which were previously handled by its ] division) from the movie studio in order to increase the latter's output.<ref name=ap-20thtelevision>{{cite news|last=Horn|first=John|title=20th Century Fox Restructures Film, Television Units|url=http://www.apnewsarchive.com/1989/20th-Century-Fox-Restructures-Film-Television-Units/id-c84852dbf431b84aa16465a1c851bdb3|accessdate=December 27, 2012|newspaper=]|date=July 12, 1989}}</ref> During this time, 20th Television and 20th Century Fox served as two of Fox's four main units, along with the ] and ].<ref name=nyt-foxunits>{{cite news|last=Harmetz|first=Aljean|title=A Revamping of Fox Film Puts Emphasis on Movies|url=https://www.nytimes.com/1989/07/13/business/a-revamping-of-fox-film-puts-emphasis-on-movies.html|accessdate=December 27, 2012|newspaper=]|date=July 13, 1989}}</ref> Following a 1994 restructuring of Fox's television production companies, 20th Television was refocused on syndication and "non-traditional programs"; its network television division was moved back to 20th Century Fox and retook the 20th Century Fox Television name.<ref name=lat-tcftvrestored>{{cite news|title=2 Named to Executive Posts in Fox TV Restructuring|url=http://articles.latimes.com/1994-12-05/business/fi-5172_1_twentieth-century-fox-television|accessdate=December 27, 2012|newspaper=]|date=December 5, 1994}}</ref>

20th Television distributes almost all programming from the television production unit and its subsidiaries and the motion picture studio's output (and their own subdivisions); since sister company 20th Century Fox Television produces most of the Fox network programming, 20th Television can also be considered the network's syndication arm. It owns programming from other production companies and studios they've acquired, including ], most by ], and most by ] (including those by ] and Genesis Entertainment).

The company also syndicates and/or co-syndicates product from partners such as ] and ].<ref>"TV News Check" tvnewscheck.com Retrieved on March 13, 2012</ref><ref>Elizabeth Guider "Variety" variety.com January 11, 2007, Retrieved on January 29, 2013</ref>

As part of the restructuring that stemmed from News Corporation spinning off its entertainment assets into 21st Century Fox, it was announced on July 8, 2013, that 20th Television will operate under the management of 20th Century Fox Television; it was previously under Fox Television Stations. As a result, the former company's president will now report to the latter's chairmen.<ref></ref>
