Moses is best known around the world as a Canadian media pioneer and the co-founder of CityTV, MuchMusic, CP24, Bravo!, Space, FashionTelevision, and a dozen or more popular television channels and stations. Moses now combines media, content, and advocacy to champion the needs and interests of Canada’s 16.8 million people aged 45plus, aka. “Zoomers” (an amalgam Boomers with Zip!), as the Founder of ZoomerMedia and President of CARP, Canada’s largest Advocacy Association for Canadians As We Age.

 

In the 1970s, long before Facebook, Twitter or YouTube, Moses anticipated the popularity of user-generated content.  His groundbreaking television innovations, notably Speaker’s Corner, Videography, and the Studioless Streetfront Television Operating System were at the core of over 20 independent stations and channels he co-founded, including CityTV and CablePulse24, not to mention MuchMusic and MusiquePlus, which served to define a generation of Canadian youth in both official languages.

 

Long fascinated by space travel, Moses also conceived Tour Of The Universe, the world’s first large-scale flight simulator-based attraction. It was located at the base of downtown Toronto’s famous landmark, The CN Tower, and was a state-of-the-art technological and interactive tour de force that set the stage for today’s theme park experiences around the world.

 

Marketing Magazine named Moses one of the Top 10 Canadian Media Moguls of the past 100 years. His many honours include the Order of Ontario, the Governor General’s Performing Arts Award, the Queen Elizabeth II Golden Jubilee Medal, the Juno’s Walt Grealis Special Achievement Award (the Canadian equivalent of the Grammy’s Lifetime Achievement Award), and in 2011, The City of Toronto designated a famous downtown stretch of the legendary Queen Street MOSES ZNAIMER WAY. Most recently, Moses was personally “Knighted” as a Chevalier de l’Ordre des Arts et des Lettres by Madame l’Ambassadrice de la Republique de France au Canada.

 

Since launching ZoomerMedia as a single station start-up in 2008, the company has grown to operate 5 TV, 2 Radio, 3 Print, 14 Digital and 3 Live Event titles. As such, Moses has created the world’s only diversified Media and Advocacy company uniquely devoted to products, services and entertainment for the 45plus. ZoomerMedia/CARP not only reach them, but also speak to and for them.

 

ZoomerMedia and CARP are located in The ZoomerPlex, a 2.6-acre state-of-the-art production and live event complex in Toronto’s Liberty Village. There, in Zoomer Hall, Moses shoots original TV series like “theZoomer” – Canada’s current affairs and lifestyle television show for Boomers with Zip!, Pre-Covid, the 150-seat Zoomer Hall also hosted Concerts, Screenings, Live Theatre, Political Debates, and Town Hall Meetings.

 

The ZoomerPlex is also home to Moses’ MZTV Museum of Television, the world’s largest collection of rare pre-WWII and vintage television sets including the 1939 RCA Phantom Teleceiver, the rarest set on the planet, sets owned by Elvis and Marilyn Monroe, Felix the Cat – The First Star of Television, and Speaker’s Corner. Also on display are special exhibits devoted to the lives of John Logie Baird, the first father of mechanical television, and Philo T. Farnsworth, the inventor of electronic television, an exhibit The Toronto Star called, “the most significant television exhibit in North America“. Anyone can take a virtual tour of the MZTV Museum at mztv.com

 

Moses earned an Honours BA in Philosophy and Politics from McGill, followed by a MA in Government at Harvard University in 1965. His constant curiosity and quest for knowledge across a spectrum of disciplines led him to found ideaCity, an annual 3-day gathering of 50 of the world’s brightest minds in Toronto. In 2008, Singularity University was launched on the ideaCity stage and Moses, along with NASA and Google, became its first Associate Founder. In 2019, ideaCity celebrated it’s 20th anniversary.
