History

ZoomerMedia was formed in December 2007 following Znaimer's acquisition and merger of Kemur Publishing, publishers of CARP Magazine, and website operator Fifty-Plus.Net International. It provides marketing, membership, and other services to CARP , of which Znaimer serves as executive director, and publishes Zoomer Magazine . The company also operates several Internet properties including a portal and a social networking site, all targeted to older adult audiences.

In addition, Znaimer previously personally owned a variety of other assets through his privately held company, MZ Media, that were also unofficially considered part of the "ZoomerMedia" group. These included southern Ontario classical music radio stations CFMZ-FM and CFMX-FM , adult standards station CFZM Toronto , and the annual IdeaCity conference.

In June 2009, ZoomerMedia Limited announced a deal to acquire the broadcasting assets of S-VOX, which includes conventional stations CHNU-TV and CIIT-TV along with specialty channels VisionTV and One: the Body, Mind & Spirit channel, for $25 million. As part of the transaction and a related private placement, Znaimer also merged MZ Media into ZoomerMedia.
