      There will be a C&D from them. You really shouldn’t use a radio station’s calling as your product name. This will not end well.

        Everyone misunderstands Trademark Law, they can only sue if they can prove that it would result in confusion because they provide the same or similar services.

        Otherwise it’s not a legal case that can be made.

        So sure, they could sue them if WLBR starts making a radio show or podcasts, otherwise they have no legal standing to try it

        C&D only, if they are in the same space. The radio station is completely unrelated to a computer programs name. Also is the name trademarked? And the radio station is not world wide known either. I doubt there will be any Cease and Desist from either sides. But I can be wrong off course, which is very unlekely (great typo I leave it there).
