Kix finally getting new PD

All Access reports Tim Jones PD from Albequerque coming to Memphis to replace Lance Tidwell at Kix.
 
It didn't say Zeke. If you go to allaccess.com and click on industry news there is the info and a pic.
 
Tidwell, gone? Ha! You mean I could go back and not get canned from morning drive news at 9pm on Easter Sunday night, after I'd already gone to bed? whoopeee. A little tongue in cheek comment there. I s'pose there are worse ways to lose a gig haha.

Gotta love those folks who wear Jesus on their sleeve and treat others like the devil. ;D

No sour grapes, I had tons of fun when I moved on to FM 100, but now that the weazel is gone I can finally speak my mind. Ol' Tidwell did me a favor and didn't even know it. That said I wish him well and congratulate the new guy, as we wait to see when and where The Wolf will arrive.
 
Oooh, I had forgotten about that link....

www.941thewolf.com Takes you to a familiar place.

Maybe 94.1 could file a complaint with InterNIC for squatting? It's been done before.

A little company in California called Nissan Computers obtained the rights to nissan.com long before the auto manufacturer did. The auto manufacturer sued but lost at the Supreme Court level to obtain the rights to the url. The defense was the man's name - Uri Nissan - and that he had used it for many years before Datsun changed to Nissan in the US.

Just a bit of rambling....
 
Yeah. Text book Common Law trademark case. Follows essentially the same fact pattern as a famous case about a locally-owned greasy spoon in Mattoon, IL called "Burger King." See Hoots v. Burger King (7th Cir. 1968)

94.1 has no claim. They ain't the Wolf. And, more importantly, they weren't when the URL launched.

But, and here's the rub: I can see an aggressive attorney filing suit against 94.1 should they come on as the Wolf for -- yup -- infringement of Common Law Trademark. It's a big stretch (and there are some contra arguments I will omit, since it is way off topic), but, it could be fun. Probably a loser, but fun.

Attorneys. Can't trust a one of 'em.

Don't know Tim, but I would've loved to have seen Kay Manley get the job. Smart, dedicated, a team player. Kay's da bomb.

Its gonna be hard for the new pd to be better than Tidwell. He is reaping the benefits of success now with his hiring in top 20 market Seattle.
