On September 18, 2012, WMTW upgraded local news production to enhanced definition widescreen. On September 9, 2013, WMTW launched a 60-minute newscast weeknights at 5. To coincide with the news expansion, WMTW moved "Dr. Phil" from 5 o'clock to the 3 p.m. time slot replacing "The Ricki Lake Show" (which had been cancelled). It also debuted a new logo (very similar to fellow ABC outlet WTNH channel 8 in New Haven, Connecticut) and introduced an updated corporate graphics package from Hearst Television.
