I suppose they could argue that the color scheme is the same, or that we used the same font to create the station logos. But I think we're too small (and have zero money) to bother sending a legal team after. At least I hope so.

They might be right. On the other hand, Disney tried to make a Florida nursery school, a small operation with only about a dozen kids, remove some hand-drawn Disney characters from its walls. The resulting bad publicity forced the Mouse to back off.
As far as this situation is concerned, I would tend to think that the TA is less aggressive about trademark protection because licensing probably accounts for an insignificant portion of its revenues. Contrast that to a company like Disney, which basically lives and dies by its trademarks.
