WBZ starting to use "CBS4" again?

I just noticed that the WBZ news department got some new mic flags that are triangular shaped, and now say CBS 4 on one side, using the logo they had from 2004-2008, but that's the only use I've seen so far. Do you think this could be something they're phasing in?
 
Yeah, so what, they have 3 differently designed mics flowing around?

The mic with the black bock with a white CBS logo on it
A teal-blocked mic with the WBZ logo
And now a triangular shaped block with CBS4
 
Sounds to me they're using whatever they can find getting kicked around on the floor of the broadcast truck.I forget which channel I was watching not to long ago in Providence and the mike flag had a big worn off corner and scratches all throughout the logo.The thing looked liked like it had been driven over and kicked down the street.I was kijda surprised they used it.It did'nt make me change the channel because the reporters microphone looked like it had better days.

Likely to be reflected in the corporate graphics package as well.
 
Do any of the WBZ mic flags have the 38 logo on them also? Here in Philly, WBZ's sister station KYW has the CBS3 logo on 2 sides and the CW Pilly 57 logo on the other 2 sides. CBS owns 2 stations here as well and has news on both. CBS3 used to be called KYW just like WBZ. They switched to CBS3 around the same time WBZ switched to CBS4. KYW never switched back.
