Zenith Electronics Corporation
 PROFILE
Since the radio days, Zenith Electronics has made the sets that deliver broadcast entertainment in the US. But neither its history nor its innovation has been enough to overcome more than a decade's worth of losses, and the company reorganized under Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in hopes of remaining among the leaders in US television sales; it emerged in late 1999 as a subsidiary of South Korean electronics giant LG Electronics. Zenith also markets cable boxes and modems and DVD players. (Zenith sold all manufacturing facilities and has virtually transformed into a pure marketing company.) Circuit City Stores is the company's largest customer, accounting for about 20% of sales.
