Perspective
In December 1989, 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 (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 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 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.
