CFTE (1410 AM) was a radio station in Vancouver, British Columbia. The station first began operations in 1922 as 750 CJCE, and moved to AM 1410 in 1928. In 1955, the station was renamed CFUN, and launched a top 40 format in 1960. In 1967, the station flipped to easy listening, and then to news radio in 1969 as CKVN. In 1970, it returned to top 40, and returned to the CFUN calls in 1973 after being acquired by CHUM.
In the 1980s, the station segued to adult contemporary, and then to talk radio in 1996. In 2009, CFUN flipped to sports radio as CFTE Team 1410, serving as a secondary outlet for sister station CKST.
In 2018, the station flipped to business news, primarily carrying audio simulcasts of BNN Bloomberg programs, as well as other Bloomberg Radio shows; most of its business day programs originated from BNN Bloomberg's studios in Toronto, with local programming limited to weather and traffic updates, and weekend specialty programming. In June 2023, the station was closed due to cuts by present owner Bell Media.
