Grass Valley, a small town tucked away in the Sierra Nevada foothills range of California, may seem an unlikely place to find leaders in the broadcast technology industry. However, the town’s claim to this industry stretches back to the early 1950s, when Charles Litton—a leader in glass-working machinery and vacuum tube manufacturing—decided to leave San Francisco and set up shop in his favorite weekend retreat, Grass Valley.

In November 2004, Cleveland Fox O&O WJW unveiled its native 720p/60 HDTV newscasts to viewers, which the station says helped to propel it to first place in the news ratings race.
