Michael
Adams
is Producer/Administrator of the MZTV Museum, and a Director of the MZTV Museum Foundation.
Michael became involved in television at a young age. His family started on of Toronto's first television sales, repair and antenna installation companies in the 1950s, where he landed his first job at the age of 6.
He holds a B.A. in Economics from the University of Toronto. It was while still a high school student that he began to work for Moses Znaimer as property manager, advancing eventually to the role of business manager of Olympus Management Limited.
In 1992, for the 20th Anniversary of Toronto's radical and popular independent Television station, Citytv, Michael began coordinating an exhibition focusing on the evolution of television technology and design. The presentation featured Moses Znaimer's original collection and eventually grew into the MZTV Museum's "Watching TV", launched at the Royal Ontario Museum in 1995. Initially scheduled for a 2 1/2 month run, the show was extended to a year because of its success with audiences and critics.
