Mutual was purchased by Westwood One in 1985 and continued to operate Mutual as a separate network program service into the 1990s.
At the same time the Mutual Broadcasting System network operations center in the Crystal City section of Arlington, Virginia was disassembled, and its primary line operations now go through the CBS Broadcast Center in New York City.

Mutual filed two applications challenging these assessments; the first application covered the years 1990—1993, and the second addressed years 1994 and 1995.
In both applications Mutual asserted that the assessments were erroneous because it was exempt from the tax pursuant to Code § 58.1-3703(C)(3) and that the County's assessments were not fairly apportioned and, thus, unconstitutional.
The County's basic contention is that because Mutual does not own the equipment utilized in the process of transmitting its radio signal to the public, it does not broadcast its radio signal and, therefore, does not qualify as operating or conducting a broadcasting service pursuant to Code § 58.1-3703(C)(3).

By the early 1940's, Mutual Broadcasting was indeed arguably the largest true 'network' of radio stations for its time, but with few exceptions most of those 200 - 300 radio stations were small, low-wattage, local stations.
