Monitoring of the radio structure in the core of 3C 273 has yielded a series of hybrid maps in which substantial source evolution can be seen. We discuss the superluminal motion of components in the jet of 3C 273, and the evolution of their flux densities and spectra. For 3C 279 we identify a new epoch of superluminal expansion with v/c = 6.5.
