How can FM News use WINS audio?

Why is CBS letting them say "Give us 10 minutes and we'll give you the world". Isn't that too close to what WINS says?

Well, CBS could sue them but they risk giving Merlin extra publicity (and possibly martyrdom) that commercials can't buy.
 
I even saw a commercial on WCBS-TV last night with that same slogan....I was kind shocked not only to see a WEMP commercial on CBS-2 but also using that slogan as well.....Of course two spots later there was a commercial for 1010 WINS.
 
They could tell FM News 101.9 to cease-and-desist, but they risk the wrath of the Merlin Marlin, which is the best publicity for 101.9.

Until people tune into WEMP, are not impressed in the least, and never tune in again. :p
