The Lake is causing waves.
E. W. Scripps Company has contacted a Racine station that branded itself as The Lake to assert its copyright related to the nickname.
Scripps station WLWK-FM abandoned the slogan and changed formats last week.
The Racine station WMKQ-FM (92.1) confirmed that it had been contacted by Scripps about using The Lake and that “lawyers are involved.
Steve Wexler, vice president of radio for Scripps, had no comment. He previously said no lawsuit had been filed.
WLWK changed its call letters to WKTI-FM (94.5) and switched from adult pop music to country music last Friday.
