Fox Benedict Television

Background:
Fox Benedict Television is the television production division of Fox Benedict Pictures, an Occitanian film studio. Fox Benedict Television began life in 1953 as Fox-Imperial Television Corporation, handling the syndication of films for television, being a subsidiary of Fox-Imperial Productions (now Fox Benedict Pictures). In 1955, they were renamed to Fox-Imperial Productions Television, and began producing their own shows under the name. By 1985, with 20th Century Fox acquiring the company, they were renamed to Fox Imperial Pictures Television, and was split into two companies by the names of Fox Imperial Pictures Syndicated Television Distribution (later Fox Television), and Fox Imperial Pictures Domestic Television Distribution. In 1995, they established Fox Imperial Pictures Television International and produced shows under this banner until 2009. Later on in 2002, Fox Imperial Pictures Television Distribution was formed. 3 years later, they formed Fox Imperial Reality Television, which focused on Reality shows. On January 17, 2020, Fox Imperial Pictures Television was renamed to Fox Benedict Television.

Availability: Was ultra common in its own time, but is now rare. Seen on the Occitanian and regional releases of TCFTV shows.

Editor's Note: Unlike the Fox Television logo, this logo is more liked. However this will not end well with the next logo below.

1st Logo (January 17, 2020-January 17, 2022)
Nicknames: "Fox Benedict On TV", "The Plastering Tower"

Logo: Same as the previous logo, but "PICTURES" is removed, and "BENEDICT" replaces "IMPERIAL". The byline is also removed.

FX/SFX: Same as the previous logo.

Music/Sounds: The 2012 TCFTV fanfare.

Availability: No longer current, but still fairly common. Appears on all shows produced by this company.

Editor's Note: It is just the Fox Benedict Pictures logo, except on TV. However, all of those plastering habits that was carried over from its predecessor Fox Television after its shut down in 2020 have gotten more bizarre. Regardless, it is a wonderful logo.

2nd Logo (January 18, 2022-)
Nicknames: "Fox Benedict On TV II", "The Plastering Tower II"

Logo: Same as the movie logo, but "PICTURES" is replaced with "TELEVISION". The logo is also shortened to its final seconds.

 * The logo may be sped up in rare cases.
 * A warp speed version appears on PAL prints of shows.

FX/SFX: Same as the previous logo. None for the still version.

Music/Sounds: Same as before.

Music/Sounds Variants:
 * On some shows, the ending theme of the show is used instead.
 * The logo may be silent.
 * On post-January 2022 episodes of the Disney Television Animation collaboration The Ghost and Molly McGee: The Series, the final four notes of the 1998 Fox fanfare is used from the previous logo.
 * The fanfare has an echo on some current prints of shows.
 * The theme is higher-pitched and in warp speed on PAL prints of shows.
 * Co-produced TV shows use a generic network theme with a voiceover.
