Listing all of 20th's programs

Regarding the list of 20th's library, which WCVB98swell readded:

Wikipedia is not a directory. A long list of titles is more appropriate for a site like IMDb than a general encyclopedia like Wikipedia.
Even if it was appropriate, the list has no references.

Trivialist (talk) 17:04, 4 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Exactly. Now we can find references to restore a portion, half, or all of it back. King Shadeed 15:19, October 5, 2014 (UTC)

Want all shows back on the 20th Television page now

Stop removing the shows distributed and IMDb sucks as it shows eps of TV shows — Preceding unsigned comment added by WCVB98swell (talk • contribs) 11:37, 6 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Merger

I suggest that 20th Television be merged into 20th Century Fox Television, as every division and subsidiary of 20th Century Fox Television is not individually or uniquely notable. Trivialist (talk) 21:58, 28 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

No, keep pages for distribution companies and do not merge into the page for the parent studio. 47.54.199.235 (talk) 15:56, 31 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
- @47.54.199.235: Wait, after your history of trying to merge any related companies together, you *don't* want something to be merged? Trivialist (talk) 22:56, 31 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Disagree: This is a distribution company for the Parent company. If it was not, then I would say yes. - Kiraroshi1976 (talk) 18:58, 31 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

There not merged just yet. Still working on page Jack370 (talk) 02:41, 12 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

20th TV's future

Now that The Walt Disney Company acquired Fox, I don't think 20th TV is going to survive as a standalone distributor. Disney is going to fold it into Disney-ABC Home Entertainment and Television Distribution perhaps. Now that Family Feud and other Debmar-Mercury shows have gone to CBS, 20th now only distributes two first run series (Divorce Court and Dish Nation). However according to the privacy policies of the programs websites, Lincolnwood Drive and Dino Bones Productions, the producers of the shows are owned by Fox Corporation. I'm guessing in the 2019-2020 season, Disney-ABC would distribute these programs (as they own 20th TV). Of course Disney-ABC takes over off net fare like Cops, Family Guy, The Simpsons, MASH and Bones. With the addition of 20th TV, Disney-ABC will now distribute six first run syndicated programs, Disney always has stuff like Who Wants To Be a Millionaire and Live With Kelly and Ryan. However the 20th shows also increases the Disney-ABC syndication slate. ExtraEditing (talk) 21:55, 15 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Fox Corporation

Requested move 19 January 2020

The following is a closed discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review after discussing it on the closer's talk page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.

The result of the move request was: no consensus (not moved) (non-admin closure) ~~ CAPTAIN MEDUSA^talk 06:56, 27 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

20th Century Fox Television → 20th Century Studios Television – Disney confirmed that "20th Century Studios" is now the official new name for 20th Century Fox. According to this NYT article, "A Disney spokesman confirmed that both labels, now officially known as 20th Century Studios and Searchlight Pictures... would drop Fox from their logos." Therefore the page needs to be moved to its correct name. AdamDeanHall (talk) 19:05, 19 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose: The articles also said that they haven't settled on a name for 20th Century Fox Television. So, let's wait until they announce the new name. Starforce¹³ 19:30, 19 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose: Cool your jets, let's see what the Television assets of 21st Century Fox get re-branded as before we change the name of the article. Iftekharahmed96 (talk) 19:50, 19 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose per above. Too soon to start changing specific properties and divisions and such until real-world RS tell us that a re-branding has taken place and we see that RS have started using it. — SMcCandlish ☏ ¢ 😼 09:51, 21 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Neutral While I see this potentially happening someday, no announcement has been made regarding how they’ll handle the television production company names. I would guess they would follow the same concept, but I do like this idea, for when it eventually happens. Jkline16 (talk) 11:58, 21 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose. Variety states: "On the TV side, however, no final decisions have been made about adjusting the monikers of production units 20th Century Fox Television and Fox 21 Television Studios. Discussions about a possible name change are underway, but no consensus has emerged, according to a source close to the situation." Spshu (talk) 21:40, 25 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose per comments above. Official announcements must be made first for confirmation. No Great Shaker (talk) 06:37, 26 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Look at this

https://variety.com/2020/tv/news/disney-rebrands-tv-studios-20th-television-abc-signature-touchstone-1234730574/

It seems 20th Television will be folded into 20th Century Fox Television, which will be renamed to 20th Television.

Requested move 10 August 2020

The following is a closed discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review after discussing it on the closer's talk page. No further edits should be made to this section.

It was proposed in this section that 20th Century Fox Television be renamed and moved to 20th Television.

result:
Procedural close. The target page is a non-redirect that possesses substantial content. It is therefore not suitable as a "new" title in a move request. It appears that the intention is to WP:merge the two articles, and the correct procedure for that can be found there at that link. Kudos to editors for your input, and Happy Publishing!

20th Century Fox Television → 20th Television – Disney is shedding the Fox name for good according to this article: Low, Elaine (August 10, 2020). "Disney Rebrands TV Studios, 20th Century Fox TV to Become 20th Television". Variety. Retrieved August 10, 2020. AdamDeanHall (talk) 19:51, 10 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Neutral I am totally cool with whether the merging of articles would happen. After all, this is not the first time 20th Century Fox Television was renamed 20th Television; that happened between 1989 and 1994. Don-Don (talk) 21:48, 10 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Support: This move seems rather boilerplate, as the article should reflect the company's new, (and current), name. There will be no need to split the article or anything else of that nature. DÅRTHBØTTØ_(T•C) 23:37, 10 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Support Merge and Move - Since this is the biggest of the two studios, the old 20th Television article should be merged into this, and then this renamed to "20th Television" — Starforce¹³ 01:00, 11 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Support merge and move per Starforce. - Brojam (talk) 01:24, 11 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Logo Update

Am I the only one thinking that "20th Television" should get a new logo based off from the "20th Century Studios" logo? 'Cause I feel like the enchanced logo they used back in 2008 is starting to show its age in my opinion. --Rod14 (talk) 13:58, 14 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Former versus latter

In the Under Disney Television Studios paragraph should it read took the latter's name as 20th Television is listed second? 2607:FB91:3F09:58E6:89DF:F179:7F21:8AF2 (talk) 23:20, 21 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

20th Television doesn't distribute 20th Century Fox shows anymore.

I'm sorry, but it's true. The original 20th Television distributor has since closed down in 2020, and was folded into Disney-ABC Domestic Television. This is because 20th Century Fox is now owned by Disney. To be honest, they should replace 20th Television as a Distributor with Disney-ABC Domestic Television. FlapjackRulez (talk) 21:58, 12 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The distributor named for a project is the one credited on a project at time of original release. That doesn't change with ownership changes. Also Disney has retained branding rights for all the names it bought and may choose to use old names on new projects at their discretion. Need to know what they actually did for a project and not just make assumptions. Geraldo Perez (talk) 22:10, 12 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Add ABC Signature to Predecessor Section

Since ABC Signature was folded yesterday into 20th Television, should ABC signature be added to the predecessor section like all the other predecessors with a link to the main article? 192.223.241.26 (talk) 13:43, 2 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
