In Washington, there were in my memory always 4
stations, CBS, NBC, ABC, MBS, and then at one
point a public station became available.

I never heard of MBS.

Bet you have. If you ever listened to The Lone Ranger or Superduperman
on the radio you certainly have. Or all-night talkshow host Larry
King.

The only radio station I have ever listened to in the past fifty years
is WPOC, a Baltimore country music station. When I saw CBS, NBC and
ABC I thought of TV networks, not radio.

That is where we differ greatly - I very, very seldom watch TV. But I
have a radio going 24/7 if for no more reason than to provide background
music to my life. That and our taste in music. If I am going to listen
to "country" it has to be the very early stuff like Hank Williams, Chet
Atkins and John R. Cash ... with some other Hanks tossed in - Snow and Thompson. My default listen is JAZZ .... and one of your country guys
has crossed over successfully into jazz - Willie Nelson.

The Mutual Broadcasting System (commonly referred to simply as Mutual; sometimes referred to as MBS, Mutual Radio or the Mutual Radio
Network) was an American commercial radio network in operation from
1934 to 1999.

See above.

Most of Mutual's glory years were before 1969. Including the fore-runner
to Larry King .... Long John Nebel who hosted a show with people who had undergone paranormal experiences, including witchcraft, ghosts, UFOs, conspiracy theories and parapsychology (IOW the "lunatic fringe") from
WOR in Manhattan.

I knew it best known as the original network home of The Lone Ranger
and The Adventures of Superman and as the long-time radio residence of
The Shadow (Lamont Cranston).

Oh, and the Green Hornet, too. Many of those OTR shows were local on WXYZ
radio in Detroit, MI. before being networked nationally.

I remember the Lone Ranger from movie theaters, but not radio.

I saw one Lone Ranger serial at the flickers. Some on TV. But, I much
preferred radio (still do) to being subjected to some director's idea
of what's what. With books and radio I make my own scenes/settings in
my head - which is far more satisfying than taking another's view.

BTW - I am an Old Time Radio buff. It's one of the presets on my satellite radio(s). Along with 40s Junction, Real Jazz, 60s on 6, Symphony Hall, etc.
