On December 15, 2017, NBCUniversal announced that WNEU's newscasts would be rebranded from "Noticiero Telemundo Boston" to "Noticiero Telemundo Nueva Inglaterra" to reflect an expansion of the news operation's reach to include all of New England. NBC concurrently announced that the newscasts would be simulcast on WRDM-CD in Hartford, Connecticut (along with Springfield repeater WDMR-LD), which they acquired from ZGS Communications in February 2018; a reporter based at WRDM's facilities at the WVIT studios in West Hartford files stories from Connecticut (outside of the WNJU-covered Fairfield County) and the Pioneer Valley. WRIW-CD in Providence, Rhode Island began simulcasting WNEU's newscasts on July 20, 2018, after NBC completed its acquisition of that station from ZGS.
