Gray holds a trademark on the “First Alert Weather” branding. It was Raycom’s brand and Gray inherited it and that’s why so many Gray stations have switched to using it. I can’t think of a Gray/CBS overlap market but CBS must be paying Gray for this privilege. https://trademarks.justia.com/789/44/first-alert-78944371.html

The second one is a specific service mark for the National Captioning Institute. It must be the case that NCI did not caption Cosby but captioned Family Ties (I found a 1986 newspaper article mentioning they captioned the latter).
