  Mutual Broadcasting System - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The ancestor of Mutual was the Quality Network, founded in 1929 with four radio stations: WLS in Chicago, WOR in New York City, WLW in Cincinnati, and WXYZ in Detroit.
The truly unique point about Mutual was that it was true to its name: it was a completely cooperative venture between the parent companies of the radio stations who produced and shared the programming on the network.
Mutual was purchased by Westwood One in 1985 and continued to operate Mutual as a separate network program service into the 1990s.

The first radio show featuring the Shadow as an adventure character aired on the Mutual Radio Network on September 26, 1937.

Begun by the giants of virtually every facet of the wireless radio transmission industry, NBC was officially formed September 9th, 1926, by The Radio Corporation of America (RCA) and it's partners, Westinghouse and General Electric Corporation.

Naturally, as the network added more stations this became impractical and would cause some confusion among the affiliates as to the conclusion of network programming and when the station break should occur on the hour and half-hour.
