Re: [IRCA] CFUN 1410 call change?

["Rick Lewis" <ricklew@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Exactly. I think they were CKVN for two or three years, much of that time as an album rock station, before re-using the CFUN call letters.
--I thought the switch to CKVN was in 1970 or '71, but a friend claims it was earlier than that.

  according to Northwest Broadcasters

  *As recently rumored, CKCL-FM 104.9
  <http://www.1049greatesthits.com/>Vancouver (Chilliwack/Abbotsford)
  has been assigned the call letters CFUN-FM
  by Industry Canada.   CKCL started identifying as Fun-FM on November 12, but
  was still using its old call letters last night during its official on-hour
  IDs.  Team CFUN AM 1410 <http://www.teamradio.ca/>, which changed from talk
  to sports on November 5, has been assigned the new call CFTE.  The historic
  CFUN calls have been in use by 1410 since February 14, 1955 when it changed
  from CKMO.  The CKMO calls are currently used by Victoria's Camosun
  College<http://camosun.ca/>station Village
  900 <http://www.village900.com/>.*

  If I recall correctly, the CFUN calls did leave Vancouver for a while in the
  1970s and went to a station somewhere in NS, no?  Were they CKVN in the
  interim before getting CFUN back (on 1410)?
