The ABS failure did not deter others from promoting their own "third network" ideas. Included was Ota Gygi, who in 1934 unsuccessfully tried to form a network around station WCFL in Chicago, then in 1936 found a new backer, Chicago industrialist Samuel Insull, and became vice president of the short-lived Affiliated Broadcasting Company network. (In contrast, when Ed Wynn was asked if he would make another attempt at organizing a radio network, his firm reply was: "Never again. My business is to make people laugh, not to make myself feel like crying.") The one eventual success would be the Mutual Broadcasting System, which was established on September 29, 1934, although it would never gain the prominence of the older NBC and CBS networks.
