YES 933

YES 933 is a Mandarin Chinese radio station in Singapore. Owned by the state-owned broadcaster Mediacorp, it carries 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 2025 survey, Nielsen reported that the station had an average of 1.22 million listeners.

History

In December 1989, the Singapore Broadcasting Corporation (SBC) announced plans for two new radio stations to launch in 1990, in honour of SBC's 10th anniversary and Singapore's 25th anniversary of independence; a Mandopop CHR station on 93.3 FM (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 FM. The Mandopop station launched on 1 January 1990 as YES 933, also known as Radio 6; at launch, the station had nine deejays on four-to-five-hour shifts, and aired fewer commercials than that of Radio 3.

YES 933 began as an 18-hour station, broadcasting from 06:00 to 00:00. 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 weekly listeners.

On 20 January 2017, the station moved from Caldecott Hill to Mediacorp's new headquarters at One-north.
