Story by Inside Radio

A federal judge has granted Radio One a permanent injunction ordering Flinn Broadcasting to NOT to use its “Boom” trademark “in any manner,” including “confusingly similar” versions of the brand name.

Radio One sued Flinn for trademark infringement, unfair competition and other claims related to Flinn’s use of the “Boomin 96” moniker at its Memphis area classic hip-hop station, WVIG, which NOW calls itself “Bumpin! 96.”
