Touchstone Television
The second incarnation of Touchstone Television, formerly known as Fox 21 Television Studios, was an American television production company and a subsidiary of the Disney Television Studios, a subsidiary of the Disney Media Networks business segment of the Walt Disney Company. It was founded on December 4, 2014 from the merger of Fox Television Studios and Fox 21 and given its second name in mid-2020 following the acquisition of 21st Century Fox by Disney.
On December 1, 2020, Disney announced that the label was folded into 20th Television.
Fox Television Studios, Inc. was a television production subsidiary of Fox Entertainment Group, the flagship entertainment division of 21st Century Fox, the unofficial production arm of Fox and the secondary production arm of 20th Century Fox Television, which is itself the television arm of 20th Century Fox Film Corporation. Fox Television Studios (FTVS) was formed on August 1, 1997, alongside 20th Century Fox Television and 20th Television under executive David Grant. The studio was created to house smaller production units, starting with the Greenblatt-Janollari Studio (G-JS). Greenblatt-Janollari started producing shows in the 1998–1999 season with 3 comedy series for ABC and CBS. While funded by Fox, G-JS was presented as an "independent mini-studio". The studio also partnered with David Gerber and his Gerber Company venture to produce various telemovies and television series. With Fox Entertainment Group holding a 20% stake in New Regency Production's parent corporation, Fox Studios formed a joint venture, Regency Television, by 2000, managed by Gail Berman. Another production unit formed was Fox Television Studios Productions (FTSP) under Lisa Berger. Early output by the individual units, or "pods", were FTSP's Son of the Beach for FX, The Hughleys by G-JS and Regency had Malcolm in the Middle.
The pod model evolved into five divisions: alternative, scripted, international, Fox World and Regency Television:
In March 2005, Fox Television Studios expanded their international division into the UK television market by acquiring British independent production company Scream Films following the departure of Fox World's UK division boss Jonathan Glazier who had left to join New Zealand production company Touchdown Television (now known as Warner Bros. International Television Production New Zealand), marking Fox Television Studios first British acquisition with Scream Films continued to operate as a standalone unit within Fox Television Studios who will work with the acquired company to develop FTVS's formats in both the UK and the US. One year later in July 2006, Fox Television Studios rebranded their acquired British production company Scream Films as their UK division renaming to Fox Television Studios UK, however another year later in June 2007, Fox Television Studios announced their shuttering of its UK division Fox Television Studios UK following Fox Television Studios's major restructure under its then-new president Emiliano Calemzuk with Fox Television Studios will continue to developed unscripted series for the US, UK and internationally.
Eventually the only division operating was the scripted unit. Next FTVS attempted international co-productions of direct-to-series broadcast series. The company had a hit with Burn Notice on USA Network. In August 2010, Dave Madden was appointed to head the unit, where he evenly increased its production slates until he was appointed as president of entertainment for Fox Broadcasting in August 2014.
Fox Television Studios International was the international division of Fox Television Studios that operated from August 1, 2000 to March 7, 2001. Daniella Welteke was tapped up to head the division, which was eventually folded into Fox World.
