For a generation of Vancouverites, fun was spelled CFUN.

The CFUN story began in 1955 when the station adopted those call letters from the former CKMO. In 1960, CFUN switched to a rock format and the real "fun" began.

Deejays such as Red Robinson, Dave McCormick, Fred Latremouille and Terry David Mulligan made the 1960s a special time for CFUN listeners. A glimpse of what it sounded like in 1962 can be heard here.

In 1969, CFUN made a dramatic switch to a news format as CKVN (The Voice of News). The all-news format lasted less than a year; music returned by the spring of 1970. The CFUN call letters returned in 1973. Deejays like J.B. Shane, Daryl B., Russ McCloud, Tom Lucas and Brother Benson entertained throughout the '70s and '80s.

In 1985, CFUN dropped Top 40 for a Favourites of Yesterday and Today format. The music era ended for good on March 27, 1996 with the switch to talk.
