CC asked to cease and desist in SC

Columbia. Steve FM is not an original idea from the folks at Clear Channel
check this out

Steve.FM, an independent Internet radio station, has asked Clear Channel Communications to cease and desist from using its name in connection with a Clear Channel FM radio station in Columbia, South Carolina. www.Steve.FM has been operating out of Seattle, Washington since May of this year and calls itself “Steve FM.” Clear Channel announced the name change of its Columbia WLTY station to Steve-FM in mid-August, and has recently launched a website at the domain name steve-fm.com.

The owner of Steve FM in Seattle, feels that with prior usage of the name for his Internet station, he has grounds to ask Clear Channel not to use Steve FM as a station name. “Clearly, this corporate giant feels the little guy has no rights and they can do what they want, without fear of legal action.” “With just limited funds, I’ve created an Internet station and an image that will be harmed if Clear Channel decides to ignore my rights in this matter.” Chapman’s Steve FM has been broadcasting via the Internet, located at www.steve.fm, since May, playing Seattle’s Rock ‘n’ Roots Internet radio.
 
a) I think the Jack FM suit is more of a threat to Clear Channel Columbia than this internet guy.

b) Steve FM has been on the air for three weeks or so, and I have held off giving my opinion, because I don't want to be negative. I admire anyone for trying something different and giving me a new choice to listen to. But I have to say, I don't get it. It just must not be for me. And honestly, other than we radio types, I haven't heard anything about it anywhere. No buzz.
