A station poster representing CKVNs return to Top 40 music in April, 1970.
In 1973, CKVN Vancouver became CFUN once again. CHUM now owned the station and had effectively purchased, rumoured in the $80K range, the CFUN call letters from a station in Newcastle, New Brunswick. CKVN had dropped the CFUN call letters on June 30, 1969, to become the Voice of News (VN) on July 1st. On February 14, 1955, at 6:00 p.m., the CFUN call letters were first used on 1410 KHz in Vancouver, having previously been CKMO (1928) and CFCQ since April 20, 1922, when the station signed on the air with 40 watts on 450 metres.
Ignoring wavelengths, the station has only ever been on two frequencies, 1410 and 730, its current frequency and that of its long-time Top 40 competitor, CKLG. CKMO was one of the few stations that did not move in The Great Frequency Shuffle of 1941, having been on 1410 KHz from 1933 until now. 730 KHz was its home from 1925 to 1933.
