The newsvans, with the red classical 6 on it, were white during season 1. However, during later seasons, their color had changed to blue.
 
 
In the episode [[Get Shredder!]] [http://mutantooze.org/ninjaturtles/cartoon/guide/cart171.htm], [[Shredder (1987 TV series)|The Shredder]] placed an explosive device in Channel 6's basement and trapped April O'Neil, Irma, Vernon, and Burne in one of the offices. He then forced the [[Turtles]] to trade for [[Krang (1987 TV series)|Krang]], whom he believed they had captured (although in reality, Krang was seized by [[Drakus]]; a former friend of Krang's, and the original designer of the [[Technodrome]] who Krang sold out years ago). Although the Turtles were successful in rescuing Krang, the Shredder still blew up the building. Fortunately, [[Splinter]] was able to free the hostages before the building exploded. Burne Thompson blamed the Turtles for the destruction of the Channel 6 building, and as a result the Turtles became wanted outlaws. After these events, the Channel 6 crew moved to a smaller building. In season nine, April had become a freelance reporter and the crew of Channel 6 was never seen again for the remainder of the series. It is unknown if Burne Thompson is been fired or suspended for blaming the destruction of the Channel 6 building on the turtles and turning them into wanted outlaws.
 
 
It should be noted that in the season 10 episode ''[[The Beginning of the End]]'' April is seen briefly watching Channel Six news.
