For the holidays there are many things that Radio Stations do for the holidays many of the wonderful things from collecti clothes , and sponsoring events for the holiday season one of the most special . 91x had brought in the big vehicle they use for concerts this holiday season. One of the greatest things that the Holiday Season is to give to those that don't have much for 91x was collecting socks and underwear they had collected so many at the holiday celebration as the hosts for the New Year's Party at the Hilton Hotel Seaport Village. 91x is one of the best radio stations here in San Diego from the great holiday welcome they welcomed the many people I could see that were coming up to the tent. The hiday season brings out so much in people with the use of music and great radio stations makes the holidays even Brighter. 91x is one that brings the energy to any event the group that is from 91x made the great appearance from the many events they host for the radio station has the great music and the many great people they had at the Balboa Holiday Nights are the best. As a Yelp Elite Reviewer the many groups that I have seen to the many that have done so many great projects for a radio station to do such a great service project during Christmas is a great blessing to those in need . Clear Channel you have a great radio station of 91X from the many years of music the many events they sponsor will be around for many more years . read more

See all

Love this station. I've been listening to the station since High School back in the mid 80's. So, my suggestion is Check it out & see what Great music they play! Smile & Listen & shake your booty & enjoy the beat read more

Fun music 24/7. Great mix of rock from different decades keep it going! Garett on Sunday morning is my happy place. Hilary promoting shows daily is my doctor. · Halloran is my history teacher. read more

Love this station. It plays music that no one else plays today. Also both old and new

Used to be easy to get to their artists music sessions but it's getting very random now, you never get picked to attend anymore, consider this station is located all the way in Sorrento Valley, it's always a trip to get up there then head back during traffic time. Between this company, iHeart Media, and CBS Radio, this one ranks 3rd place in term of handling contests and live events. read more

BeerX was a disappointment. Total lack of security, fights all over the place, not an official in sight. I walked right through the front gate, they scanned my ticket - but no search of my bag or metal detector on me - Its a miracle that someone wasn't killed in that place. There for sure were people carrying some sort of thing that could kill someone or cause serious injury - and the amount of fights, Im actually surprised that didn't happen. Ballast Pt. beer is really strong, not everyones choice to choke down a bitter nasty warm can. The only hard alcohol choice was some random Vodka - its obvious that sponsors only get to serve their drinks - It should have been called Ballast Pt. X But then the ticket sales would have been a fraction - How about just a standard bar with the obvious choices? Nathaniel Rateliff was amazing!! The only bright spot for sure, but his band doesnt need that garbage - just a nicer venue for him and his very talented bandmates!! read more

Im from LA and rock radio sucks there. Every time I'm in SD my wife and I enjoy 91X during our stay. Each time we comment how we hear songs we've never heard on the radio before. KROQ infamously plays the same 20-25 songs on rotation and most of them suck. 91X Rocks!!! read more

3 stars for having Ruggy on. Ruggy rocks! - 2 stars because Mahoney acts too cool for school. read more

Oz in the mornings on my way home from work keeps me up! If you listened back in the day you'd know he was the same velvety voiced Oz from long ago:-) Though 91X can play some trash I enjoy the interviews, and songs Oz offers. Thank you Oz for following the yellow brick road back to 91X! read more

Regarding the morning show.... To whoever wrote this... "Oh morning show, I wish you guys would grow up./I can not recall the amount of times one of you has degraded women on your show, and made you sound like a total douche..." Well, obviously you have no sense of humor. you have to understand that jokes are always made at someones expense So, in order for them to be funny they need to have some sort of target: male/female, skinny/fat, gay/straight... So loosen up or go listen to Jeff and Jer! But, I only gave the station 3 stars because of the music. I agree with Darl P. who said, I stopped listening to the station when they began to play "Pony" and "I Love College". I feel like an SDSU kid is spinning over there. read more

Bring back Pete Thurston! This is not the same 91X you grew up with. It's hard to tell that there's even a morning show going on here. You get a few songs, some commercials and then the show. You literally have to wait an hour to get to the heavily teased prank calls. As for the show, it's College Humor. That's not necessarily a bad thing, just be aware that it's a little mean spirited. Unfortunately, a few of the good bits are sabotaged by the music and commercials. Where is the show momentum? I just ended up flipping stations when one of the songs sucked. Tommy and Hansen from 94/9 were able to mix music and talk effectively. Not sure why this show can't. Low point of the week. Earlier this week they has been pimping Cypress Hill's new album and song. When they interviewed Sen Dog I knew this show was a train wreck waiting to happen. It was really awkward listening to Diablo interview a guy that he clearly hadn't done any background research on. Diablo focused most of the Interview on what type of Marijuana the guy smoked. While kinda funny, it really came across as ignorant and disrespectful. I'll give him credit though, it took a pair to call Sen Dog "Bro".. read more

Listening to 91x is like listening to a joke that you have heard 1,000 times. At first it may have been funny, may even have made you laugh out loud. Now it is just pathetic and completely annoying. What happened? You absolutely cannot call yourself the "cutting edge of rock" if you play "Pony" (currently #16 on the most played list). What a joke. read more

91X - This is what happens to your face when you listen to 91X. BEWARE! - Radio Stations Near Me - San Diego, California

I pretty much only listen to the radio in the car, and 91X is the only good station in San Diego, as I can not tolerate all that Top 40 crap on the other stations. I listen to the morning show everyday while driving my son to school and going on errands. I love the funny bits and the addition of Sammi, her sense of humor is eerily similar to my own. Carlos reminds me of my brother, and I really feel sorry for poor Preston, especially when he had to eat some of those disgusting food dishes. Last but not least, Matt Diablo. I have to say that while I agree with your politics, I'm a little burned out on hearing your name chanted in my car and home every day by my 5 year-old. Seriously, there is something he just loves about your name, even his teacher has complained that he calls out your name during class, and he's got his little buddies at school saying it too. He's got this little chant/song where he sings "Matt Diablo" over and over and over and it gets stuck in my head. read more

in the 15 min. drive to work every morning I play station tag between 94.9 and 91x when commercials come on....I DO enjoy listening to music more than random talk babble but I have to give 4 stars for Mat Diablo's "What's on the internet' segment. It comes on around 7:30ish and I find it so thoroughly amusing. Some sites they discuss are entertaining merely for the moment, and others I actually am eager to look up once I get into work to check it out for myself (oh come on now, everyone knows the first 30 mins of the work day are for making coffee and surfing the web...I kid! wait...no i don't). but also, this is a morning show that DOES play music as well and chat about *mostly* random things...and I highly appreciate that. plus, one time Mat sent me a twitter reply after I referenced him (in re: to what's on the internet) and said he too liked cheese and potatoes (in my profile) and that makes him pretty darn cool in my book :D wow geeky moment. read more

To Mahoney and Diablo - you guys crack me up! Thank goodness I found you on the dial - you saved me from yet another hum drum day of AJ's Playhouse (Gina's dumb - although i think she's finally learned how to read, Hula comes off as a a dork, and AJ, well he's just boring. Calvin has his moments but its really quite a pathetic morning show). Beer for breakfast, really? LOL. And the drunk dial line, yeah that one makes me crack up - usually when i'm at a stop light and the person next to me is wondering WTF i'm laughing at? Good mix of 90's jams. You've got my vote as one the best stations in the Diego! read more

2. stars is the best i can come up with really. I have been in San Diego for seven years now. Love the station. Chris, Jennifer and Ruggie were there for me every morning on my way to work. The powers that be, (work) sent me off to foreign lands for 4 months. What do I find when i return? A change in 91x by the "suits" is unacceptable. I have now converted to iPod and download the good stuff. There was a time when Independant Radio actually ment something. It is a shame that such a good radio station has gone main stream. Take heed to the "suits" You are going to see a loss in listeners even more now read more

Played Brunch with Bob and Friends for neighbor for the (his) first time and it's no longer all reggae! EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTED!!! It was only two hours a week for "Jah's" sake! Might as well just get rid of it !!! read more

Compared to the other morning shows...yea...this one "rocks!" I do miss Mahoney... even though he was a weak excuse for a republican...he still brought the balance of humor to the show. Didn't really listen to this station until my kids started playing guitar hero and I liked the music...then my eldest began changing my car stations to 91x and then I was hooked. Matt n the gang make great humor together. I love the UFC talk, they're LGBT friendly (not like that dumb blond on jeff n jer who calls her callers gay - whack!), culturally diverse in their knowledge, educated (well kinda ;p), silly segments, beer reviews (yes!), they're yelpers, and aren't into that stupid show American Idol (thank god!) and are socially knowledgeable - they know what's up! I love how silly Matt is with his shout-outs (accent) to the south bay and he states that's just how he talks - "ese" ....esstuuuuupid....but funny! The only thing I don't like about this show is that their RAIDER haters....but since this IS San Diego...I let that slide. For now :p "Interior Crocodile Alligator, I drive a Pontiac movie theater!" LMAO Oh! And I laugh every time I hear Bob Barker say that.....it's HILARIOUS cuz its random! I'm very random so it makes sense. :-D read more

I am a big fan of 91x because it is a locally owned and operated radio station that isn't Clear Channel. That being said, they have a lot more freedom to do whatever they want moreso than other stations. While I do really miss the Morning Show crew, Mookie & Capone, they are still ok in my book. They do a lot of great events that incorporate everyone in the community as well as private music sessions at their studio. I would love for them to start to expand their variety in music and not play the top 40 alternative on repeat all the time. The best day of music I have ever heard from them was the day that Capone left and he was able to pick the playlist, and that guy has fantastic taste. read more

I don't listen to the radio much, but I make an effort to listen to the 91x morning show because Mat and Ruggy are cool...and they talk about Yelp.com which is my current obsession (aka hobby) *heh* So props to my boys from 2 Balls 1 Cup *wOOt* Make sure to tune in (91x.com "listen now") at 8:15am PST (?) on Fridays to get "Your Yelp On!" Ya dig? :D ------------------------------- Sidenote: This is the only station I can get from my jail cell...so it's not liek I have a choice, anyway : / read more

I really like the 91x morning show. I think what they do with it is creative and entertaining. Beer for breakfast, come on... everyone wants that! The pop trash is always entertaining... I mean, come on, I found out this morning that Gary Busey snorted coke off of his dog. Now that's entertainment. And of course, have to give props to Fallbrook and Yelp's local celebrity, Ruggy, for popping in on Fridays. However, the reason I am giving it only three out of five stars is because I don't get to hear them enough in the morning. If you are going to play music, play music... if you are going to talk, then talk. I have a twenty minute drive to work, and am lucky if I hear a talk bit twice. TWICE! That's disappointing and either has me scanning the radio for something else to fill the commercial gaps, or giving up and plugging in my ipod. So please, if you are going to have a morning talk show... talk! read more

I love listening to 91X when all the other radio stations are playing the same song, and I just want a little bit of something out of the ordinary. I love my hip hops, but 91X brings the music. I love to turn up the music in my car and bust a move when driving on my way to school or when I'm running errands. I can also always count on 91X to work when my other radio stations begin to cut in and out read more

I've got an ax to grind, lambs. When I got into my sweet ride this morning, a sadistic deity thought it'd be a hoot to change my default radio setting from my beloved NPR to 91X. By the way: not cool, God(s). Not only was I bombarded with an onslaught of "dudes", "bros" and cheek-biting half-wittery, but also a free-flowing stream of commercial breaks that bordered on never-ending. Can someone cue me in on the reason why Cantore got the ax? To be candid, I was never an adamant Cantore follower and I think 91X has been on the decline for some time, however, the new resident morning show steak heads suck tremendously by comparison. My dog could conduct a better morning show. A while ago I heard these meat puppets attempt to take on the task of discussing media conglomeration. It went something like this: Steak head 1: Media conglomeration totally blows. It blows, man. Steak head 2: Yeah, dude. Blows. Steak head 1: I mean, like, dude, like what about, like, choice? Steak head 2: Yeah, bro. Choice. I'm with you on that...dude. I appreciate the stab, "bros", but leave this area to NPR. This is apparently out of your realm. The 91X morning show is essentially this: take everything uniquely San Diego and commercialize it to the point of stomach ejection. My recommendation: Nix the morning show idea altogether. Your local jocks/Mikey Morning Show disciples are not the Howard Sterns of San Diego. Just shut up and play sub par music. Perhaps that will earn you another star. p.s. It Smells Like the Nineties Weekends? I'd hate to put someone out especially in a time of looming recession, but the person who smelled that nugget of brilliance should be offered a modest severance package. STAT. This just in: it smells like 2008. read more

So, today I had a heart to heart with Mat, about the importance of paying their interns. Ok, well not really but close enough. Christy (even though shes not part of the morning show) gave me tickets to NOFX (even though I'll probably just give them away) and a copy of Pineapple express on DVD, which I will have to bring them back up to three stars. Love/Hate you 91x. read more

Four months ago? 4 stars. But now? I'm being generous with 2. And that's because I feel bad for those still left standing at the station and toughing it out amid the recent "house cleaning" at 91X. Radio is heading down the trail blazed by the dinosaur -- a struggling, dying medium battling Clear Channel strangleholds, controlled play lists, and dwindling advertising dollars. It sucks -- both for those radio personalities and DJs with real talent who are just trying to make their mark (not to mention make a living), and for us -- the listeners ready to slit our wrists if we have to hear The Killers one more time in a 4-hour period. So when the suits at 91X made the recent foolish decision to kick to the curb Chris Cantore, by far the most talented, genuine deal you'll find in local radio, my love for 91X instantly turned into: "Oh HELL no!!!" The dude was there for 11 years and had the most respected act in town. Not right. You suits shot yourselves in the foot. Chris, if you're out there, your soothing, laid-back OB surfer voice comforted me on my way to work every morning for the 7 years I've lived in San Diego. Now every time I flip to 91X I just get sad, then really, really angry. So now instead I just listen to my iPod. Went out and bought one of those iTrip car adapters. Now I drive with my car antennae at half mast, just in your honor, buddy. read more

I dont wanna say that they suck. I tune in from time to time and its entertaining but I miss Chris Cantore with Jenn and Ruggy. 94.9 is cool too but Halloran bugs the sh*t out of me. Howard Stern rules. read more

I don't get all the hate that's directed at the 91x Morning Show. Then again, I don't get the multiple fangasms that start up whenever Chris Cantore's name is dropped. It's like a blizzard here. Mat Diablo is not Cantore. Tough crap. He may never manage to build the loyal following Cantore had, but whatever. What they have managed to do is create a new radio show that's a pleasant alternative to the mind-numbing black hole of mediocrity occupied by Star 94.1 and Rock 105.3 in the mornings. There are some rare moments of wit, but mostly, the 91x Morning Show provides me with a little company during my early work day. It's the same reason old people watch JAG, which speaks sad volumes about me. There are a few things that grate on me, though. Mat, we get it. You like Obama. I pray you two never meet, as the sound clips of the inevitable fellatio will no doubt end up getting played as often as that horrifying clip of Mini-Me getting his freak on. Also, if anyone else gets 'Diablo'd,' I'm going to start drinking nail polish remover straight from the bottle. Do we need to constantly hear about how much Mahoney's life sucks? He seems like a pretty decent guy, and the beer reviews make me feel like I'm actually learning something, once in a while. I do want to see him fight Russell Crowe, though. Sammi the Intern. I pray to God that this girl is as hot as she is vapid. The bum/grunge obsession has me imagining her as smelling like faintly rotten bread dough, and that just creeps me out. I'm confused as to what Carlos does. He doesn't bring much to the show, and it seems like all of the technical issues might be related to him being a producer. Finally, the Internet streaming is crap. 91x features about 58 minutes of commercials for every two minutes of content, and listening via the Internet once I get into the office causes me to get about 3 seconds of the show each day. Fix, plz. Strangely, though, despite all of the idiosyncrasies, I keep listening and enjoying myself. Who'da thunk. Maybe I just like to bitch. Or yelp, or something. read more

Oh my little morning liberals! I love being able to listen to a radio station in the morning that doesn't make me want to pull my hair out. I appreciate that they still play music while keeping you gleefully entertained with bits like Beer for Breakfast, the Drunk Dial line and shenanigans by Carlos. Matt Diablo and Mahoney are a good team. I know I'm not giving a whole lot of information, but it's kind of hard to describe a morning show other than to say it is entertaining. So, if I haven't sold you yet, Ruggy comes on every week to talk about Yelp. (I should have just led with that) read more

I was a little skeptical at first because I was friends with the Cantore in the Morning show... But these guys won me over. These guys are sarcastic and funny. They have a good knowledge of sports, music, and whatever else is out there. I thought the Drunk Dial Line is a good idea for letting their fans actually have a chance of being heard. They are always out and about this fine city at all sorts of events. Keep up the good work fuckers. I just dont see myself hanging out or around these weirdos. read more

This is my morning show!! Like someone said before me, AJ's playhouse is just plain stupid, and I used to listen to Jeff and Jer but I'm out of that phase. I listen to it for a good 40 minutes on my way to drop my daughter off and then on the way to work, and I crack up the whole time. And so what if they talk about silly stuff sometimes, do you really want to hear about the war in Iraq at 6:30 in the morning?? Cuz I sure as hell don't!! I love how real they are, I feel like they aren't trying super hard to be funny, they just ARE. And the songs they play are all upbeat which is great for someone trying to wake up. Keep up the good work guys! read more

I have been listening since it went on air. I will reserve comment on it for now. I love Steve West, miss my buds who have been cut off and crapped out. I am not merely talking about Chris Cantore, who was cool, but also Rusty, Sean, (with West, the original Breakfast Club on 91x), Robin, etc. Everyone who has left has left a mark. I hold out hope we will see a return to local talent with a good playlist dictated by taste and not corporate payola or whatever. Ruggy is still standing, so I am good with that, but man... The latest incarnation makes me sad for the cool start of the 1980s. They'll get by, I am sure, but they could do much better. I still tune in, but right now it deserves the 2's it is getting. I cannot do that, though. I hold out hope. Three for now, buds. By the way, I remember the original, disco-style, multi-line tube stickers. I wonder if the new ownership has even seen those? Sigh... read more

One of the first things I do when I get into my rental car in San Diego is set one of the memory spots to 91X.....it's become a San Diego tradition for me....have been doing it for years. I don't listen to any of the shows, just enjoy the music. read more

Updated 12/27/07: Had to remove one star. I've been trying to listen to 91X occasionally over the last couple months, and I have to say--the whole Misogyny in the Morning show thing is so 1995. ***************** Meh. 91X is hardly the worst radio station in the world, but they're pretty damn mediocre. I gave them a good try when they were first freed from the iron grasp of ClearChannel, but it quickly became clear that they meant "Free to play Rage Against the Machine, Sublime, and The Beastie Boys as often as possible." It takes more than an occasional throwback to the 80s and 90s to portray a real sense of freedom and diversity. Their DJs are largely interchangeable, and they chose poorly when they sacked Hilary (I never listen to their lunch programming anymore), who has one of the best voices in San Diego radio. I understand that they're targeting a lot of young fraternity brothers and other college kids, which explains/justifies Cantore in the Morning, but he's generally unfunny at best. Most days they end up sounding like a watered-down version of 94/9, about 2 months late. Which isn't terrible. read more

so, I have to admit that my time listening to the show only consists of my 10 minute drive to my office in Mission Valley, so I don't get to listen a lot, but: I like your beer for breakfast segments, you have Ruggy and Sam the Cooking Guy on all the time, thats enough for me! Three stars it is! read more

Used to be a good station. They have lost their "cutting edge". Is it because there is a dearth of good music? Or is it they will only play commercial hits? On the good side I can still count on them to play a few older hits. But really, I don't need to hear U2 any more. Or The Police. Even The Cure. This station wants to be a "alternative" station but it doesn't play "alternative" music. Just rehashes what everyone else plays. I thinkt he station is quickly becoming irrelevant. If they or 94.9 don't change quickly I'll be listening to talk radio more. With the elections over I can count on some variety from them. read more

Having lived in many locations and been subjected to many morning shows, the 91X Morning show has vast amounts of my appreciation for their desire to NOT be just another morning show with typical DJs yammering on about how cooooooooold it is outside or how HOT HOT HOT the Whitesnake concert was last weekend - and not be the Mikey Show. Many listeners point out Beer For Breakfast and the Drunk Dial Line as being their favorite bits, but I tune in for the banter. Matt & Mahoney have a chemistry that is often missing from morning shows. There is no "straight man" and there are no overproduced skits featuring people calling in with fake voices. It's all them and that is the most valuable thing they bring to the table - realness. That genuine love for what they do is brought to every game they come up with, every argument they get into, every interview they do, and every location broadcast. That is what keeps me tuning in for more. Most places I've lived have the formulaic morning team of two guys and a girl, or a guy and a girl bantering back and forth. Or a Clear Channel morning show like Mikey (UGH) which has a bunch of idiots, who are paid to sit around and guffaw at his every remedial observation. This is not comedy to me. It's like watching that kid in "Parenthood" with the bucket on his head, running into a wall repeatedly. You snicker to yourself, but it's simply out of embarrassment for the child and his poor, poor parents, rather than actual comedy. I grew up listening to Kevin & Bean (on KROQ - Los Angeles) and grew tired of their antics and the faked phone-ins (which, consequently, gave the world Adam Carolla and Jimmy Kimmel - two of those most unfunny "comedians" who are tragically employed in mass media today). That show reminded me of a group of outcasts from the theater department crashing a frat party. They tried too hard and grew bitter in their old age. The 91X Morning Show is the antithesis to Kevin & Bean, a million times more amusing than Adam Carolla, and far more clever than Jimmy Kimmel could even dream of being. The entire team on the 91X Morning Show make my morning drives much more pleasant than they ever were in Los Angeles - the lack of L.A.-style traffic doesn't hurt, either - and my thanks go to Matt, Mahoney, Carlos, Sammy, Preston, and of course, Ruggy. Thanks guys... you've saved many drivers between East County and Sorrento Valley from my road rage. read more

Meh. I've never really found anyone on the 91X shows to be particluarly entertaining. Mostly because they backwash things that are on every other show, and rarely offer anything of insight. Unlike 949, who has quality contributors like financial planners, beer connoisseurs and who talk about things like the economy and health care, 91X is more interested in who the lead singer of Fallout Boy is seeing or what random attention whore had to say during a drunk dial. I don't give a crap!!! Definitely not the worst morning show on in SD (I give that award to 933) but pretty dull and uninspired. I'd rather listen to my CD player, thankyouverymuch. read more

Yay! I'm a fan. I already kinda wrote about these guys on my general 91X review, but since I've gotten MORE used to these guys I have more of an opinion on them. And I LIKE this morning radio show. They turned me onto Yelp! What is not to like?! Morning person I am NOT, I find myself constantly laughing at the hijinks of Mat "you got DIABLOD", Mahoney, Carlos & Sammi the Intern (who writes a fantastic daily web recap-- it sucked when she was gone b/c the web recaps BLEW, no offense to whoever wrote them). They comment on local stuff: sports, politics, concerts, events. They laugh about silly things like Carlos' mom--er, roommate, & Mahoney's current Sex Yetti of Mission Valley (he taped his lady-friend snoring one night and they constantly play it on the radio). Yeah, they occasionally talk about real issues, and it still is good. I truly like this show in the morning. Yes, I used to listen to Cantore & crew and I occasionally laughed at them. However, Mat & crew have worked their way into my black-cold heart and melted it down to only maybe ice-cold... I welcome this morning show to San Diego. Thanks, guys! Beer for Breakfast always supplies great entertainment while driving to work.... I just like beer! read more

I miss Chris Cantore's accusations of Jennifer White being drunk , Jennifer White's pop trash, and Ruggy's sports reports in the mornings. They helped me get through the mornings. I absolutely loved the little song battle section they had every week. Oh yeah, and King Stahlman! listen up Matt, Mahoney, and Carlos, get King Stahlman back on the show! You know what. I still like Matt D, Mahoney, Carlos, and intern Sammie. They may be a departure from what I regularly listen to, but they have some interesting insight. They're not bad at all. Love listening to you guys! read more

Pros: Resurrection Sunday with Steve West Cons: No morning show No Chris Cantore Same boring songs on repeat ALL DAY LONG. read more
