A local radio station that has been built up and nourished into Canada's top 50-plus broadcaster and second across North America with adult standards music format spanning everything from fifties crooners to folk, has been sold. "I'm a reluctant vendor," said Michael Caine, president and general manager of AM 740. The station was purchased by MZ Media on Tuesday for an undisclosed price. MZ Media Incorporated is headed by legendary Canadian television czar Moses Znaimer of MuchMusic and CITY-TV fame. Having left the world of television in 2003, Znaimer delved into radio last fall, purchasing CFMX Classical 96 in Toronto (and Classical 103 in Cobourg, Ontario) about a year ago from Trumar Communications for $12 million. Recently, he quietly changed the call letters to CFMZ, thus naming the station after himself. The purchase of AM 740 was announced at a press conference held Tuesday afternoon in the lobby at the Classical 96 studio. "AM 740 was my baby and I wasn't looking to sell, but Moses was very persistent," said Caine. Launched on Jan 8, 2001 as AM 740, it was successful from the get go, said See Caine page 3 Oakville's largest selection of Natural Limestone and Hardwood · Custom Quality Workmanship 35 YEARS OF EXPERIENCE IN TILE INSTALLATION LARGEST SELECTION OF WOOD FLOORING OVER 500 SAMPLES ON DISPLAY GRANITE COUNTERTOPS BUY DIRECT FROM THE IMPORTER LARGE SELECTION OF NATURAL LIMESTONE & PORCELAIN TILE Monday to Friday 7:30am-6:00pm · Saturday 7:30am-5:00pm · Closed Sunday 243 SPEERS ROAD, OAKVILLE · 905.338.1288
