[grc] Trademark feud in Woodstock, NY

[Simon Frech]

I wonder why they haven’t called themselves "Woodstock Community Radio" from the beginning. To me, "Woodstock 104” sounds commercial, silly, and non-descriptive. It’s almost like they were looking for a confrontation with Radio Woodstock.

Looking for WIOF on the web… nothing, except for a blogpost by Ursula welcoming them to the Pacifica network http://pacificanetwork.org/?p=1156. Amazing photo with 3 reel to reel machines, two turntables, what’s missing are the cart machines.
