What Happened to Zenith? | The Last Television Made in America

They invented the wireless remote.
They helped build the digital broadcast standard still used today.

Then came the price gap.

Lawsuits. Antidumping rulings. Market share collapse.

In 1995, Zenith was sold to LG.
The last American-made television rolled off the line in Springfield, Missouri.

The name survived.
The factory did not.

This is the story of how America stopped making televisions.
