CFTE

CFUN first signed on the air on April 10, 1922 as CJCE[1] at 750 AM, co-owned by Sprott-Shaw Schools of Commerce & Wireless Telegraphy and Radio Specialties Ltd., and operated on 5 watts of power.

In 1959, CFUN increased power to 10,000 watts and moved their studios to 1900 West 4th Avenue, then introduced a Top 40 music format in 1960 to challenge the supremacy of Vancouver rock-n-roll powerhouse CKWX (the former CFDC).

The deejay line-up during the 70s included radio personalities such as Fred Latremouille with "Latri-Mornings", Bob Magee, Russ Tyson, Peter Benson, J. Lee Smith, Jim Hault, Tom Lucas, Daryl Burlingham, Terry Russell (Roger Kelly aka Roger Kettyls), Tom Jeffries, Jack Casey, Russ "Too Loud" McLoud, and "Raccoon" Carney.

CFUN gained an FM sister station in 1990 when parent CHUM Limited bought CHQM-FM, whose format was changed from easy listening to adult contemporary ("Favourites of Yesterday and Today") in 1992.

[8] With the loss of Vancouver Canucks and Toronto Blue Jays to its new competitor CISL, Bell's need for a secondary sports station in the area diminished.

The format does not feature any Vancouver-specific business news content, as it is targeting a national streaming audience via iHeartRadio Canada.

[10] On June 14, 2023, as part of a mass corporate restructuring at Bell Media, the company shut down six of their AM radio stations nationwide, including both CFTE and CKST.

The station ended regular programming at 8 a.m. that day, replaced with a looped message about the impending shutdown, which is expected to last until the completion of the signoff.

[11] Bell had cited a "challenging regulatory environment" and the financial inability to continue with the immense variety of brands under their broadcasting umbrella as reasons for the shutoff.
