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. -- Rick ----- Original Message ----- From: Eric Floden To: Mailing list for the International Radio Club of America ; a...@nrcdxas.org Sent: Saturday, November 28, 2009 11:53 AM 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/>.* http://members.shaw.ca/nwbroadcasters/recentnews.htm ------------------ 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)? _______________________________________________ IRCA mailing list IRCA@hard-core-dx.com http://montreal.kotalampi.com/mailman/listinfo/irca Opinions expressed in messages on this mailing list are those of the original contributors and do not necessarily reflect the opinion of the IRCA, its editors, publishing staff, or officers For more information: http://www.ircaonline.org To Post a message: irca@hard-core-dx.com _______________________________________________ IRCA mailing list IRCA@hard-core-dx.com http://montreal.kotalampi.com/mailman/listinfo/irca Opinions expressed in messages on this mailing list are those of the original contributors and do not necessarily reflect the opinion of the IRCA, its editors, publishing staff, or officers For more information: http://www.ircaonline.org To Post a message: irca@hard-core-dx.com
