ZoomerMedia Limited is a Canadian media company. Founded by veteran media executive Moses Znaimer, the company has interests in radio, television, and digital media.
The company focuses primarily on lifestyle properties appealing to adults 45–65 (including baby boomers), being formed from Znaimer's acquisition of publishing and digital assets affiliated with CARP. The company later acquired the broadcasting assets of S-VOX (including specialty channel VisionTV), and subsumed other privately held assets that had been owned by Znaimer directly (including three Toronto radio stations). In the 2020s, it began to expand into digital properties targeting a young adult audience, including blogTO, Daily Hive, The Peak, MobileSyrup, Dished and Offside.
History
ZoomerMedia was announced in February 2008 by Moses Znaimer—a veteran Canadian media executive that had recently been named the executive director of CARP—via his acquisitions of Kemur Publishing and Fifty-Plus.Net International. The two companies had originally been established by CARP's founders Lillian and Murray Morgenthau to house for-profit publishing and internet businesses that could not fall directly under the non-profit association; they provided revenue to CARP via royalties and other business agreements with the organization. Znaimer acquired the companies for $13.1 million in a reverse takeover, going public on the TSX Venture Exchange in July of that year.[1]
