My notes show that from California, I heard CFUN in 1957, CKVN in 1969
and CFUN once again in 1988. Don't know when the changes occured as I
had several periods of inactivity in that overall period.

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.

Subject: [IRCA] CFUN 1410 call change?
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)?
