RNB changed its logo on October 1, 1964 to mark the then-upcoming arrival of color broadcasts to RNB's television branch as well as to unify both RNB's TV and radio divisions under a single name. Despite the logo being dropped by 2003, it continues to be used on the television station's closedown ident. RNB TV would later join NTV's NNN and NNS networks in 1966 and 1972 respectively.
