- About Me
- Moses Znaimer is a Canadian media icon and innovator internationally recognized for his tireless quest to inform, enrich and engage our collective spirits. It is well known that Moses dramatically transformed the aesthetics, the politics, and the economics of television. In the 1970s, 80s and 90s, his groundbreaking concepts such as Speaker's Corner, Videography, Televised Diversity, and the Streetfront/Studioless operating system, were at the core of the over 20 popular and independent Stations and Channels he co-founded and executive produced, including Citytv, Bravo! - Canada's NewsStyleArtsChannel, SPACE: The Imagination Station, CablePulse24, Star!, FashionTelevision, Book Television, SexTV, Canadian Learning Television, not to mention MuchMusic and MusiquePlus, which served to define a generation of Canadian youth in both official languages. Moses' legacy extends throughout the broadcast world with ventures and licenses in Argentina, Columbia, Finland, and Spain. To permanently commemorate his visionary contribution to Toronto's urban landscape, the City of Toronto designated the famous downtown stretch of Queen Street West from John to Duncan – MOSES ZNAIMER WAY.
Once inspired by youth for youth, Moses is now defining A New Vision Of Aging for the 14.5 million Canadians 45plus and is creating a media and advocacy empire to serve this growing and dominant population segment which he calls Zoomers – derived from Boomers With Zip!
In December 2007, Moses became the Executive Director of CARP. With approximately 350,000 members 45plus, CARP is Canada's largest and most powerful association for Zoomer Advocacy, Benefits and Community. Moses also became the President and CEO of ZoomerMedia Ltd. (TSX Venture: ZUM) which publishes ZOOMER magazine, Canada's newest lifestyle magazine for men and women 45plus, and produces the ZoomerShow, a two-day consumer show and lifestyle expo featuring the latest information, products and services for Zoomers. ZoomerMedia also operates a suite of e-newsletters and websites including www.CARP.ca, the social networking site www.zoomers.ca, and www.50Plus.com, the authoritative Zoomer content supplier to Yahoo! Canada, MSN Sympatico and LavalifePrime. In addition, Moses is the proprietor of English Canada's only commercial all-classical radio stations, The New Classical 96.3 FM & 103.1 FM as well as The New AM740 Zoomer Radio. For 10 years, Moses has been the Executive Producer and Presenter of Toronto's prestigious annual ideaCity Conference, and in 2008, introduced the first CARP Conference, featuring cutting-edge ideas on aging, longevity and life extension.
Moses is President/Executive Producer of MZTV P&D, a boutique independent television production and distribution company; and founder of the MZTV Museum housing his collection of vintage television sets, arguably the largest in the world, encompassing 70 years of North American visual devices and associated popular culture, some 10,000 objects in all. His rare sets have appeared at Toronto's Royal Ontario Museum, the Canadian Museum of Civilization in Ottawa/Hull, the Whyte Museum of the Canadian Rockies in Banff, and most recently at the Cinémathèque québécoise in Montreal.
In 2008, Moses was named one of the Top 10 Media Moguls of the past 100 years by Marketing Magazine. His multiple honours include The Urban Alliance on Race Relations Diversity Award, The Human Rights Centre Gold Medal and the Canadian Council of Christians and Jews Human Relations Award for his outstanding promotion of tolerance and a multicultural, multiracial and multilifestyle Canada; the Queen Elizabeth Golden Jubilee Medal; the Republic of France's Chevalier de L'ordre des Arts et des Lettres; the Jane Jacobs Lifetime Achievement Award; and the Walt Grealis Special Achievement Award, a special Juno Award recognizing Moses' outstanding contribution to the growth and advancement of the Canadian music industry.

Hanging Out @ Fashion Week 09
Found myself @ the Joe fresh presentation, part of Fashion Week for spring/summer 2010. Amid all the striving and pretension of a high fashion industry trying to root itself in Canada's unglamorous soil, it was refreshing to see clothes characterized by optimism and fun. Joe Mimran is to be congratulated for creating a line of People's fashion @ price points that are hard to believe. Many pieces were in the 20/30/40 dollar range, and nothing, except a sheer blazer for men that caught my eye, exc… Continue

I was awed at the energy that you have to accomplish all that you are doing, where does this come from?
You must be enjoying every moment of your life, so diverse and entertaining.
I am newly retired, and so finding where my next adventure iin life will be.
It seems that you are mostly in the Ontario region It is also beautiful here in Western Canada.
Best of luck in your endeavors
Nice to be friends with you. Reading your biography I feel honored to be introduced to you. What a marveleous platform this is to make new friends. Seeing all your activities that you are involved with; do you still have time for yourself ? To smell the roses ......! I did notice something unusual in you that I seldom see in other people - deep penetrating eyes. Sweet !
