Tom Lucas, CFUN 1410 Vancouver BC - 03.23.1977

From Bob Gilmore’s personal collection, here’s a great ‘check of Tom Lucas having a great time on MusicRadio C-FUN! The approach sounds like a combination of WCFL with KHJ imaging/jingles, if there could be such an animal. This is high energy at its best, and of course, for you youn’uns out there, this was on AM before it turned into a barren wasteland of senseless psychobabble.

Listen to the reverb… it’s cranked to the level of WABC around the same time period. The jingles are from TM (IIRC), and ‘The Luker (pronounced Luke – er) is a screamer.

C-FUN is giving away money – if they call out your license plate you’ve only got a few minutes to call the station and claim your prize! The production is well done, the station not over-processed except for the reverb, and the jingles are used infrequently… in all, a VERY well done radio station. This is what Top 40 was all about!

I listened to this as a 10 year old kid, only late at night, 700 miles away in nowhere Montana..

I had all but forgotten 14 C-Fun, Wolfman Jack and the fact it was an AM Dial. Over 100 years on air has come to and end. Sad. Rest In Peace 14 C-Fun❤

Mr. Lucas gave me rides to work on Sundays a few times when I was a teenager in his small car when I worked at 3 and Saba. He met some ppl i knew we all agreed he was a decent guy.

I stuck one of those 14 CFUN radio stickers on my parent's car (1975 Ford Maverick).

Wow! This is fantastic(and, I've listened, only, to the first 1:O5!) "The Luker", always, has been my favourite. Got to speak with him, at a few 'remotes', when I was a teenaged aspiring deejay. I made it, on my 19th birthday and, totally, enjoyed my career. Love ya, Tom! (from the teen you, your lovely wife and, daughters, ran into, several times, in the '70s, at Lansdowne Mall). I'm ecstatic, the, obviously, brilliant curator, of this site, posted this!
