FOX/Disney deal

It's real. I've seen the de-Foxed logo on several commercials.
The original logo from 1933 read "20th Century Pictures." The "Fox" was added when 20th merged with Fox Film in '35.

No leadership changes or layoffs are expected to come with the moves.

To no surprise, Disney is rebranding its TV studios to remove the Fox name from two of them.

Nearly a year and a half after acquiring 20th Century Fox Television and Fox 21 TV Studios, Disney is changing the former to simply 20th Television, while the latter will become Touchstone Television. Additionally, ABC Studios and its subsidiary ABC Signature Studios are folding into one unit that will now be called ABC Signature. The full integration of the Disney Television Studios rebranding is effective immediately, with new logos and motion end cards that viewers will see on screen expected to be completed by year's end. No executive changes or layoffs are expected as part of the changes.

The decision to remove "Fox" from two of the studios' names was part of the larger $71.3 billion deal between Disney and 21st Century Fox. Fox was dropped from film divisions 20th Century and Searchlight in January.

An update on the removal of the Fox Name at Disney. Note all shows with 20th Century Fox labels will move to existing Disney owned labels such as ABC Studios, 20th Television, ABC/Disney productions, Hulu and Touchstone.
 
RIP "20th Century Fox", 1935-2020

Its funny how the beginning part of the Mickey Mouse Club song Disney did a Parody of the division they now own 20th Century Studios logo back when 20th Century Studios and 20th Century Television was owned by Fox. Note but this was a 60 year gap and the 1950's Disney management was not considering taking over Fox due to the regulations and economic conditions at the time.
 
So I don’t remember where but shows like Family Guy and The Simpsons won’t air on Fox after 2 years from now? It’s this true? So will we start watching new episodes of those shows on ABC??

Another question the new shows that are showing up on fox? Are they owned by Fox or Disney? New shows like FILTHY RICH?

Disney+ or Hulu I remember the Simpsons was going to air on Disney+ and Hulu whenever Fox no longer has the broadcast rights to some episodes of those shows under the 20th Television label,
