After spending 800-million dollars for the Washington Redskins, new owner Daniel Snyder is hoping to rake in a few bucks from Washington-area broadcasters.
Several TV and radio stations are used to using the Redskins name and logo on programs like ``Redskins Blitz'' or ``Redskins Wrap.''
But the team is now charging stations for use of the trademarked name and logo-- that fee may be as much as 200-thousand dollars a station.
The crackdown does NOT affect mentioning the team in news casts or other news reports.
