From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Michael Hainsworth anchors the evening news for Canada's financial news network, Report on Business Television (ROBTv) and is the chief business reporter for CTV Toronto and affiliates across the country.
A veteran Toronto broadcaster, Michael got his start in radio at CKFM 99.9 (now "The Mix") in 1998 producing overnight music and current affairs shows while still in high school. Hainsworth's 11 years in radio include 6 at the all news station 680 News. During his tenure as a reporter for the station, Hainsworth won awards, including the 1998 Best Spot News award from Toronto Police for his breaking news coverage of the crash of the RAF Nimrod during the Canadian International Airshow. He later went on to anchor afternoon drive before moving to the business desk.
In 2000, Hainsworth moved to television, taking a position in the nascent ROBTv.
Hainsworth frequently refers to himself on-air as a "computer geek" and maintains a technology and human interest oriented blog at http://www.hainsworth.com that features stories often covered for the networks.
He is an honours graduate of the radio program at Humber College.
