Rumor has it that Moses Znaimer, Canada's homegrown media mogul behind Citytv, MuchMusic, Bravo, Space, and a slew of other TV channels, is considering retirement:
"I think what he [Mr. Znaimer] really needs to do is go west, take one step back and contemplate how he can be most productive in the period ahead. Whether that involves change or not is premature to say, but it is quite clear he wants perspective right now," the source said.
One option Mr. Znaimer might consider, the source suggested, is returning to manage CHUM's educational assets, including the Canadian Learning Channel.
Mr. Znaimer is CHUM's best-known personality and is widely considered a visionary in TV broadcasting. He launched community station CITY-TV in 1972, creating a blueprint for interactive TV that has spread across Canada and the world. He has been the on-air host of several series and specials, including The Originals on specialty channel Bravo and TVTV: The Television Revolution.
(Thanks, deep-throat!)
