In 2012, WLBZ's station logo was immortalized in a running sketch series for Saturday Night Live called Maine Justice, a parody of courtroom shows featuring a judge and a bailiff with Louisiana accents who "try" to act like New Englanders.
After then-WB affiliate WPXT shut down its news department in fall 2002, WCSH and WLBZ entered into a news share agreement with that station, resulting in a nightly prime time newscast.

The "News Center Weather Plus" feed on WLBZ-DT2 and the live video on their websites was replaced with the national NBC Weather Plus service.
On weeknights, the news and sports segments originated from WCSH's studios at Congress Square in Downtown Portland while weather forecast segments came from WLBZ's facility on Mount Hope Avenue in Bangor.
