Twentieth Century Fox Television, Inc. is the television production division of the 20th Century Fox movie studio, a subsidiary of News Corporation. It was launched in October 1986 after the parent company of 20th Century Fox, TCF Holdings, sold 50% of its shares to News Corporation for $250 million in 1985. New Corporation then bought six television stations in various major cities from Metromedia.

Since 1986, Twentieth Century Fox Television has produced the bulk of series airing on the Fox network, including The Simpsons, Desire and Fashion House. The Simpsons became longest running animated series and site comedy in the records of U.S. television.

Continuing the fray, Fox Network Television rated another milestone by airing ‘America’s Most Wanted’ that made the big leap when the show secured a grand entry in top 50 shows of the week in the all important Nielson ratings.

For boosting the popularity and covering more segments Fox started to broadcast some soap operas aimed at the younger audience such as ‘Beverly Hills 90210′ and ‘Melrose Place’ followed by ‘The X-Files’. These programs tagged the network in Top 25 ranking in the Nielson rating schedule.

Twentieth Century Fox Television stretches long, to swathe movies, animation, music, news, kids TV, and much more. The studios have enamored all-aged audiences all-inclusive with a sort of small and big screen hits, right from the early 30s till today.

20th Century Fox includes numerous secondary companies, among them 20th Century Fox Studios, 20th Century Fox Television, 20th Century Fox Home Entertainment, FX, FOX Television Network, Fox Entertainment Group and New Regency Productions.
