TVS first launched in 1976 in Rio. Their logo consists of the words TVS and Rio with an outlined circle with a skewed 11 inside the circle. The design of the "11" logo is exactly the same as the WBAL-TV logo from 1975-1987.

After SBT was created, the logo was changed to a design similar to the network, although the TVS text replaced the SBT text. This design was also used by all other channels owned by SBT.
