It's a question of whether there is market confusion, producing unfair competition.  There was 
a case a number of years ago in which WBCN tried to enjoin the use of the call letters 
WBCS.  They lost.  The court found that there was little chance of anyone confusing the two 
stations because their formats were so different.  

If someone were to start a classical music station called WCRV, there might be a different 
result.
