The "Edge" is no longer. The Cabrini College radio station, formerly known as the "Edge" will be changing its name this fall. The frequency, 89.1, and the call letters, WYBF, will remain the same.

There will be a campus-wide contest to rename the radio station, according to Krista Mazzeo, the Communications Center Supervisor and head of the radio program.

"Within a week entry forms will be in the mailboxes for renaming, and the executive staff will then vote on the name they like best," Mazzeo said.

A $50 gift certificate to John Harvard's Brew House on Lancaster Avenue will be awarded to the student who submits the winning name. The contest will be open to both residents and commuters. The contest began Tuesday, Sept. 26.

In the event that multiple students selected the winning name, the student who submitted first will receive the prize.

The name change is going to take place because a commercial station in the Midwest has copyrighted the name.

"If we were to continue with the name, we could be sued for using the name," Mazzeo said.

"The name should be something both catchy and fun," Mazzeo said. She hopes the new name will bring a new image to the station.

To go with the new name, the radio station will create a new logo that will replace the old one on banners and on a new sign outside the studio.
