Already by 1940 Mutual was on a par with the industry leaders in terms of affiliate roster size Still because Mutual affiliates were mostly in small markets or lesser stations in big ones the network lagged way behind in advertising revenue NBC took in eleven times as much as Mutual that year In 1941 the FCC calling for NBC to divest one of its two networks observed that the company has utilized the Blue to forestall competition with the Red Mutual is excluded from or only lamely admitted to many important markets On January 10 1942 Mutual filed a 10 275 million suit against NBC and its parent company RCA alleging a conspiracy hindering and restricting Mutual freely and fairly to compete in the transmission in interstate commerce of nationwide network programs The FCC s Supreme Court victory in 1943 led to the sale of the Blue Network and Mutual dropping its lawsuit These developments appear to have been of more symbolic than practical value to Mutual the transfer of the NBC Blue stations to the new American Broadcasting Company did little to help Mutual s competitive position In 1945 it reached 384 affiliates and by December 1948 Mutual Broadcasting was heard on more than 500 stations in the United States But this growth did not reflect any ability on Mutual s part to attract leading stations from the corporate controlled networks Rather the FCC had eased its technical standards for local stations facilitating the establishment of new outlets in small markets between 1945 and 1952 the number of AM stations rose from around 940 to more than 2 350 It was these new relatively weak stations Mutual kept picking up Though by now it had many more affiliates than any other US radio network for the most part they remained less desirable in frequency power and coverage as the Supreme Court had put it For instance in the postwar era CBS and NBC covered all of North Carolina each with only four stations Mutual needed fourteen affiliates to deliver comparable statewide coverage

The application of fire management tools requires making certain tradeoffs Below is a sample of some costs and benefits associated with the tools currently used in fire management Current approaches to fire management are an almost complete turnaround compared to historic approaches In fact it is commonly accepted that past fire suppression along with other factors has resulted in larger more intense wildfire events which are seen today In economic terms expenditures used for wildfire suppression in the early 20th century have contributed to increased suppression costs which are being realized today As is the case with many public policy issues costs and benefits associated with particular fire management tools are difficult to accurately quantify Ultimately costs and benefits should be weighed against one another on a case by case basis in planning wildland fire management operations
