Yup. That\u2019s the one.<\/p>\n<p>ZoomerMedia Limited (TSVX:ZUM) is Canada&#8217;s first diversified media firm that produces original TV and radio programmes in addition to owning and operating media across all channels (television, radio, print, and internet). Zoomer also has a thriving shows and conferences division, with in-house amenities that allow the company to provide its clients with strategic advice, creative services, and individualised events. Zoomer is located in Toronto&#8217;s Liberty Village neighbourhood and employs 200 people.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, there\u2019s no Zoomermedia without Moses Znaimer, founder of CityTV, MuchMusic, Bravo!, Fashion Television, CP24, the New Classical FM and countless other iconic Canadian media brands.<\/p>\n<p>This acquisition follows the recent additions of blogTO and Daily Hive to ZoomerMedia\u2019s roster of digital publications.<\/p>\n<h3>So why would a ZoomerMedia company buy a Classical Music website?<\/h3>\n<p>Through this merger, Ludwig Van will work with the Zoomermedia team to amplify our content and start rolling out new podcasts, videos, concert events, and more original features.<\/p>\n<h3>But let\u2019s get to the important stuff: what does this mean for you, our dear readers?<\/h3>\n<p>It means you\u2019ll get more of what you already love.

ZoomerMedia\u2019s support will also bring us new resources to make even more content that you love! As always, we\u2019ll keep most of it free to access.<\/p>\n<p>We\u2019ll have more news on our future plans in the coming months.
