Filmmakers who screened at EZTV included Jean-Luc Godard, Robert Altman, Chantal Ackerman, as well as artists ranging from David Hockney, Keith Haring, Yoko Ono, Bill Barminski, musicians ranging from the Red Hot Chili Peppers, Black Flag and many of the pioneering digital artists exhibited, collaborated, or lectured at EZTV.

Through the efforts of EZTV's Michael Masucci, and ia Kamandalu (aka Kim McKillip), often working in collaboration with digital artist Victor Acevedo, and art historian and Patric Prince, EZTV began to become a vital center for the exploration, exhibition and advocacy of the emerging new media arts. EZTV was often the meeting place for the LA chapter of SIGGRAPH, and through the efforts of LA-SIGGRAPHS Joan Collins and Coco Conn, was the first site for SIG-KIDZ, a pioneering experiment in digital art and education. Various other organizations, including the International Documentary Association, the Long Beach Museum of Art Video Annex, the Visual Music Alliance, the California Outside Music Association and the Los Angeles Center for Photographic Studies guest-curated numerous exhibitions at EZTV.

EZTV founder John Dorr died on January 1, 1993, from the complications of HIV/AIDS. The American Film Institute's International Film Festival was named that year in his memory, and he was eulogized in obituaries in the New York Times, the Los Angeles Times, the LA Weekly, the Hollywood Reporter, Variety and Documentary Magazine. Following Dorr's death, EZTV moved into a series of art organization-in-residency, including in Los Angeles Contemporary Exhibitions (LACE), from 1996-2000, and Santa Monica's 18th Street Arts Center (2000-present).

EZTV continued, under the direction of Michael Masucci and Kate Johnson, and continued the curatorial as well as production methodologies, premiering various new EZTV projects at venues such as the Museum of Modern Art (New York) the Institute of Contemporary Art (London) and various galleries, conferences and festivals.

"Hacking the Timeline" an on-going project concerned with the historical analysis of the new media revolution, was instituted in 2003 and has staged lectures, online screenings and gallery exhibitions of classic and emerging digital art.

EZTV continues today, producing original work which has screened at the Museum of Modern Art, the Institute of Contemporary Art, the American Film Institute, Bravo, the BBC, the History Channel and various galleries and festivals. EZTV is currently an artist organization-in-residency at the 18th Street Arts Center in Santa Monica.
