What Zoomer Radio does
Zoomer Radio AM740 (CFZM) is a Toronto-based commercial radio station operated by MZ Media Inc., a subsidiary of ZoomerMedia Limited, broadcasting classic hits, nostalgia programming, and lifestyle content targeted at adults aged 45 and over. The station transmits on a 50,000-watt clear-channel AM740 signal with nested FM translators in Toronto (96.7FM, 96.3 HD-2) and Owen Sound (92.3FM), giving it a coverage footprint spanning Ontario and large portions of the U.S. Northeast and Midwest. Beyond broadcast, the station streams stereo audio online, distributes through iOS and Android apps, integrates with Google Assistant, Amazon Alexa, and Apple HomePod smart speakers, and is carried on Rogers Cable Channel 949.
The product surface includes flagship live shows (The Morning Zoom, The Afternoon Express, Vintage Favourites, Finding Your Bliss, Theatre of the Mind, The 90s at 9, The XX, The Wellness Prescription with Dr. Claudia) and a podcast portfolio distributed across Spotify, Apple Podcasts, Amazon Music, iHeartRadio, and YouTube. Programming is curated for the mature demographic — classic music, wellness, gardening, celebrity interviews, and recreations of vintage radio drama — differentiating the station from mainstream contemporary formats.
The business model is advertising-driven: Zoomer Radio sells airtime to advertisers (with a testimonial reference from Natural Calm), monetizes flagship shows through category sponsorships (e.g., Shoppers Drug Mart on The Wellness Prescription), and operates recurring audience events such as the annual Zoomer Radio Cruise with City Cruises. Sister station Classical 963 FM extends the audience reach under the same ZoomerMedia corporate umbrella. Founder Moses Znaimer leads the parent group, and the operation is privately held with no public listing or disclosed venture funding.
