ZoomerMedia
In May 2005, Znaimer re-emerged from a few years of virtual exile to head up a series of media ventures. For CBC Television, he executive-produced a television comedy called Rumours, based on a hit Quebec television show. The series was cancelled mid-season.
In 2006, he filed an application with the CRTC to acquire CFMX, a commercial classical music radio station licensed to Cobourg with a rebroadcaster in Toronto. In 2008 he gained CRTC approval to relaunch the Toronto and Cobourg transmitters as separate stations. The newly licensed Toronto station would use the call sign CFMZ to reflect his initials. In September 2007, he announced a deal to acquire high-power AM station CHWO, a signal widely heard through the Great Lakes region of Canada and the northern United States, which on its acquisition he re-christened CFZM. It is a full-service pop standards station, also offering news and some public-service talk programming, primarily aimed at the Toronto and southern Ontario market region.
He also announced a subsequent deal to acquire web developer Fifty-Plus Net International, with the intention of launching a social networking website similar to MySpace or Facebook but aimed at older adults.
In 2008, Znaimer officially incorporated ZoomerMedia to operate his new media holdings. In June 2009, the company announced a deal to acquire S-VOX, which operates several channels of religiously-oriented television programming, for $25 million.
