Something about all the stations, everyone says "big game" etc.... the one local station makes fun of the fact they can't say it, but never goes into why.

Microsoft TM is copyrighted, and we can talk about them on the radio,<br /><br />World Series, I'm sure that's a copyrighted term... I just don't see where they could be so proud of the name of the ball game to make a radio station no use the TITLE of the game.<br /><br />I guess I just need to get my own island somewhere.

They certainly can say it on TV...why wouldn't they be able to say it on the radio?

Maybe it was in the context that "they" had used it before, like referring to the City of New Orleans as the superbowl.
