Shortly after Meredith's takeover, it adopted a logo design, which was borrowed from its new sister stations KCTV in Kansas City, KPHO-TV in Phoenix, WNEM-TV in Bay City and until 1993, WTVH in Syracuse, New York. Both KVVU-TV and WNEM-TV continued using the "5" portion of this logo until 2002 and 2004, long after each of those other stations had discontinued using the stylized "tv5" logo (WTVH doing so after being sold by Meredith in 1993 for example).
