YES 933 is a Mandarin Chinese radio station in Singapore. Owned by the state-owned broadcaster Mediacorp, it primarily broadcasts a contemporary hit radio format focusing on Chinese and Korean pop music.
The station has historically been one of the most listened to in Singapore; in a 2022 survey, Nielsen reported that the station had an average of 964,000 listeners. [1]
In December 1989, Singapore Broadcasting Corporation (SBC) announced plans for two new radio stations to launch in 1990; a Mandopop CHR station on 93.3 (which would serve as a Chinese counterpart to English CHR Perfect 10, which launched earlier that year), and an unnamed "MOR" station on 95.5. [2] The Mandopop station launched on 1 January 1990 as YES 933, also known as Radio 6; [3] at launch, the station had nine deejays on four-to-five-hour shifts, and aired fewer commercials than that of Radio 3. [4]
YES 933 began as an 18-hour station, broadcasting from 06:00 to 24:00. Broadcasting hours were extended to 02:00 in December of the same year, making it the first Chinese radio station to offer music after midnight. It finally went 24 hours on 1 May 1994.
In 1997, 93.3 was the most-listened radio station in Singapore for the fifth year since 1993, with almost a million listeners every week, attributed to its uniqueness which catches the attention of listeners, combined with music, deejays and creative jingles. [5]
On 20 January 2017, the station moved from Caldecott Hill to Mediacorp's new headquarters at One-north.
