AIRCHECK OF THE WEEK
For week of February 7, 2016
Edition #871
 

Talent: TOM JEFFRIES & RUSS McCLOUD
Station: CFUN Vancouver
Date: February 16, 1984
Time: 16:31

Many great Top 40 stations went the way of the dodo bird in the '80s. For CFUN, the end came December 19, 1984 when the long-time hit-maker switched to an adult contemporary format. CFUN became a Top station in 1960 and played the hits for nearly a-quarter century, save for a period from September 1967 to March 1970 when the station dropped Top 40 for easy listening and then an all-news format as CKVN. Those wonderful CFUN calls were restored in 1973 (it's amazing no one else snapped them up!).

This aircheck was recorded 10 months before CFUN switched to easy listening. The former CFUN now an all-sports outlet as TSN 1410 (CFTE) after a foray into talk from 1996 to 2014.
