Love listening to 93.3. I actually won some tickets to an event earlier this year! I just wish they didn't change their phone number so much. I cannot keep up or ever hear what it is. I want to win tickets to universal studios. read more

Wow, it's been a whole month and y'all STILL play the same songs at the same hour of the day it's like listening to a recorded tape and unfortunately, you're the only station that we can get in those songs that you play over and over and over cannot be the only popular songs in the city of San Diego read more

I want to say this: I have been a Channel 933 listener since AJ, Hula, Geena, Jesse, Haze, Cabana boy, Frankie, etc. In those years I have dealt with terrible moments as well as highlights of my life. If it wasn't for the "dumb" things, maybe overly repeated songs, and such raw morning show crew, I would NEVER had survived this long, especially with my anxiety and depression. Since Kramer and Geena begin, I have FINALLY 100% felt not alone because Kramer and Geena have shared such personal things (Geena since before), it is great to identify. I have won contests, I have gone to events, and have always felt part of something special. I know Kramer just saw some negative reviews and I wanted to post my 2 cents because I had no idea they had a Yelp otherwise I would have done this a long time ago. Thank you Channel 933 for everything you do. Thank you Kramer and Geena for making me feel more human. read more

This radio station has potential if they got rid of Gina the "Latina", wow, so clever, did you come up with that yourself? I can't stand her voice at all and my husband hates it too, which is why we never listen to it. Then what's with her always saying "love you jesse!" shut up! Seriously! What they choose NOT to censor on this radio station leaves me speechless. I was babysitting a friend's kid and he knows the entire song, uncensored! He's 7! Then I listened to the radio station to see where he got it from! And there it was, uncensored! SEX and ASS were not censored, ok, well sex isn't a swear, but ass, booty, etc. umm, really? And what's up with them playing only 5 songs again and again for 5 months! I like a song and then I hear it a hundred times and it just gets old! As soon as I hear Gina now, I turn it off. I've converted to 94.1 ever since and haven't been back to 93.3 in a long time! She's on 94.1 now too, but I just turn her off in the mornings and she's more tame here. But at least the music at 94.1 has a wide range instead of just 4 songs. read more

I'm in the truck almost everyday and I listen to the music all day. I think it's time to mix it up. Songs that I enjoyed I am annoyed because of how many times it is played. I know this might seem mean but it's not intended just need more different songs instead of mostly the same read more

My go to radio station . Kramer is no longer there so the show is just a big Eh to me now. :-( I still listen but not as much like before. I hope Kramer gets he's own show very very soon. read more

I love the great things Geena and Kramer do for the community. The positive things you do encourages other people to spread the love. Thanks for being apart of my morning commute and brightening my day. read more

I listen to AJ's playhouse every morning at work. It is always funny, entertaining, and the on-air personalities really mesh well together. That is my opinion and I am entitled to it just like everyone else. However, to the person who repeatedly said they were not a hater, making fun of Geena The Latina for being stupid and then not spelling words correctly in her own review, get a life. How can you say that you are normally not a hater, when you logged on a bunch of times, updating your review, just to hate some more? Also, I would like to point out to another reviewer on here that I am not deaf, or a mongloid, and I graduated high school.... so I guess you are going to have to come up with some other attempt at explaining why people listen to the show, good luck with that. read more

Granted, Channel 933 is a generous sponsor to many a children's charity. This is truly a redeeming quality, however, this should not detract from the point that the station, as a whole, is subpar at best. For those who aren't privy to the purpose of Yelp and similar consumer-based Web sites, I will do you the favor of acquainting you: the station itself, NOT its contributions, is what is being judged. This includes, but is not limited to, the content of the shows, the caliber of the DJs, and (obviously) the music. Bearing that in mind, please spare me and everyone else the displeasure of enduring your "You shouldn't be mean to AJ's Playhouse because they're totally generous" tirades. It's a tired defense, really, as it holds little weight or relevance in this type of forum. If everyone employed that same train of "logic", mediocrity, among other non-redeeming qualities, would be acceptable simply if the possessor of said quality occasionally dabbled in philantropy. Case in point, I'm a godless uber bitch who happens to regularly donate blood to the San Diego Blood Bank out of the goodness of my ice cold heart. Is such a gesture commendable? Sure. Does such a gesture excuse any present or past acts of unencumbered, unprovoked douchbaggery in which I have been or will be engaged? You needn't answer that. Purely rhetorical. All I'm saying is that Channel 933 is a purveyor, but not the sole culprit, of payola plague. It does not particularly concern me that the station fashions itself as Top 40 jukebox as that is to be expected from pop radio. And although I'm admittedly a music snob who doesn't fancy anything on the pop circuit, I'm not calling for an abolition of pop music. Diversity is wonderful even if I choose not to reap the benefits of it and it is for diversity's sake that I am making this plea--I'm pleading for a reformation in the way music is circulated. I'm pleading for a little diversity in the rotation. I'm pleading for prospect, not payola. I mean, GOOD LAWD--How many times can one person be subjected to the wrath of "Soulja Boy" without wanting to take a shot of White Russian Roulette? This isn't about meanness, you invertebrates. It's about the integrity of radio. Stop letting these clown shoes drill the idea into the ground. I'm off my pedestal now so you may return to your regularly programmed bullshit. End transmission... ------------------------------------------------- p.s. To the person who blessed Yelp with this nugget of truthiness: "If you weren't jealous or envious of this show (AJ's Playhouse), you wouldn't waste your precious time in worrying about convincing others to share your opinion." If you can locate the irony in this statement, you will win my respect. Have a go at it! read more

Remember back in the 80's or something when some lady sued Mary Hart on Entertainment Tonight because her voice gave her siezures?? Read on... My boyfriend and I listen to AJ's Playhouse JUST to hear the stupid crap that comes our of Geena the Latina's uneducated and oh-so-obnoxious mouth! Go ahead and judge us (well I actually do most of the hating, he usually agrees though) for being sad or "just jealous" for getting our jollies via hateration...We're normally not (wait, other than this we are NEVER) the 'hater' type, but she just makes it sooooo easy! And technically, hating is not liking someone because you want to BE them, right? FOR SURE not the case here. I've always thought this, but a couple of months ago, I was at McGregor's by the stadium, chillin with some work friends. Had to go pee, so I made my way to the ladies room. I walked in and there were 3 girls chatting away while primping in front of the mirror (you know, talking to each other's reflections). While in there, one of the girls is totally dominating their horribly annoying conversation. The voice -UNMISTAKEABLY hers - like nails on a chalkboard. Relieving yourself is usually enjoyable - she really ruined that for me. To make it worse, I have NEVER heard somebody name drop like that! AJ this, Nick Lachey that, I partied at this LA club on Saturday...celebrity "friend" this, after celebrity "friend" that. Her volume was at cheerleader decibles so that she could ensure everyone not in her little trio would know how "cool" she was. Get over yourself girl. And why does she not know how to breathe and talk at the same time? Either her lung capacity sux, or she's doing something similiar to what a kid wearing a diaper would do. Oh, almost forgot - "Love ya Frankie" is a phrase that haunts me!! ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- UPDATE: 4/2/08 My bf called me at work today and told me that she said that she got a bunch of makeup of that elf website (you know where everything's a dollar?)...Her quote exactly "So I got like, a hundred things, for like only 50 bucks"... I wanted to cry. One, because I can't believe someone so dumb could have the platform to be heard that she does (and get paid for it), and two, because I didn't hear it in person! Ha! ;) _______________________________________________________ Update: 10/30/08 I was waiting for 9.33 to find these reviews and add some noticeably fake attempts to up the star rating. Took long enough. And as I said previously...HATERS are people who are jealous or envious. I am neither of those things of anyone who has anything to do with the production of this show. Really, I'm in awe that the people who hired these 'on-air characters' don't think more of thier audience's intelligence level. That's all. read more

What is with all the hate ? I tune in every now and then and I think the morning show is kinda funny but its not Howard Stern funny. I know, apples and oranges but whatever. The morning show is ok, I dont listen on a regular basis and I'm not too crazy about the music that they play but I dont think AJ and his Playhouse crew deserves all this smack talk. I'd rather listen to them than say Jagger and Christy. read more

I can not, CAN NOT listen to this station in the morning. It's like waking up to dead radio, and really dumb jokes from annoying radio voices. If you sit and listen to this station for two hours straight I guarantee that you will hear at least three songs twice. Sometimes they will play some old school songs, that make you feel old, but make you want to get down, but other than that, i try to avoid this station like the plague, unless 9.11 or 9.49 are having bad days and I'm in the mood for some mainstream crap. read more

WOW! I'm reading the other reviews and I'm amazed at how mean everyone can be. I know that this is a site where you can leave your opinion but really can't you just leave the rating and not take unnecessary stabs at the people who are on the show? I'm sure I'm going to get "hated" on and it's fine. It's just so sad people can be so cruel to someone they do not know. NOW...This is NOT NPR. So don't expect intellectual conversation. Any radio plays their music in rotation at some point in time and they are no different. They play Top 40 music in pop, r&b, and hip-hop. I LOVE their morning rants and how they care for the community. read more

Are you serious, 5 stars for 93.3? WOW. First offense, 933 is owned and operated by Clear Channel, so the playlist is repetitive and predictable. Secondly, Geena the Latina has the most annoying voice I have ever heard on a professional broadcast. Not to mention the fact that she is an idiot (ex: she was talking about the movie "Love in the Time of Cholera" and she pronounced it cho-lerra instead of ka-ler-a). Third, morning talks shows are not entertaining. I'd rather listen to music that other people's conversations. I honestly don't understand why people like these types of morning shows. The only reason why I am giving it 2 stars is because it's cute when they have kids call in and they give a lot to Rady Children's hospital. read more

Listen to them every morning on the way to work. They play the music I like listening to. I just get annoyed when they read the news and express their opinions. Should just tell us the news. People don't really care about personal opinions. 93.3 tows the line of main stream media (very bias). TV news is so bad already (CNN and Fox are both terrible) and now the radio. read more

I used to listen to this show every morning. After Kramer left I was pretty upset, but still gave Frankie a chance. Couldn't do it. It's not as funny unfortunately. Kramer worked so well with Gina. Sad it will never be same. read more

WOW! I can't believe how mean so people can be. Honestly, I thought this is where I could read how people like the station as a hole. But all I read most of the previous reviews and they all seem to just attack the individuals of the morning show "AJ's Playhouse." I listen to the show every morning and I like it. The Playhouse seems to all be friends themselves and remind me of most of my friends. Sometimes they make me laugh and sometimes they don't. Seriously, relax people! I like most of the DJs through out the day. The only thing that bothers me about the station that it seems like they play the same 10-20 songs over and over again all day long. I know that might be an exaggeration but that what it feels like when every time I turn the station on I get the same 3-5 songs. Kinda annoying. read more

93.3 is the best radio station in San Diego county and the personal who's working there they're the best of the best starting with Gina la latina well special for me I just listen this station I love it atte. INO Reynoso read more

I was going to give them 3 stars but they earn one for having the digital groove with G Roy. I wish they would offer it as a podcast or just make it downloadable! Geena annoys the hell out of me too. Her MC skills live pale in comparison to Hula's. Also, Hula so isn't gay and he's awesome to hang out with. Some Asian males just have higher pitched voices, like me =( lol. read more

Y'know that Patrick Stump remix of "This City" that ya'll did back in like...... '11? That is the lamest remix ever, and the song still haunts me in my head at random occurrences. With vomit inducing melody and lyrics, you guys had some nerve to add the added commentary at the beginning and near end of the song, with people boasting about how we have the best Mexican food ever. Get outta here with your top 40 shit. This is something high schoolers would produce for their time-of-reminisce graduation parties. read more

I've been listening to this show for years and actually looked forward to my drive in the morning. I've been trying to give Frankie a chance because he earned the job. However, you need to bring Kramer and C Rez back. They MADE the show. I'm done listening to it. I'll check up on it every so often to see if they're back but that's the only reason. Used to 5 stars now 1. Sad. read more

I like to listen to music when I am doing housework. However, I do not feel inclined to listen to the same 20 songs on a neverending loop. Their current favourites appear to be Adele and Gym Class Heroes. Needless to say after an hour and a half I decided to switch it off and do the housework in silence. It's fine for a little while. But long journeys? Heck no. Someone, please ANYONE tell me of a decent radio station in this area before I go crazy. read more

The only station in San Diego that seems to be willing to play "leavin; by Jesse Mccartney" Five stars because they put me on the AIR the first time i've ever called in (yes it was to request leavin') I chose for all of San Diego to compete for Flo Rida tickets instead of SHWAYZE. man, if only they'd actually given me the tickets. oh well. 1 (SD AREA CODE) 570 1933 They phased out Kanye's music too fast, man. Bring back FLASHING LIGHTS! I should give them four stars for not playing Natasha Bedingfield at all. read more

Radio station is alright...Music they play is tolerable...sometimes I can even guess the next song before they play it!! AJ's Playhouse is a funny and entertaining show i like to listen to in the morning. Aj is a good host..Geena has the inspirational words for everyone...Sonic is the new goofy addition...and Hula...well he's the crazy Pinoy! I love when they do the Parody Song challenges!! Every year AJ goes up in a crane at the Ikea Parking lot to try and raise toys for Rady Children's Hospital. Its a great thing he does. The whole Playhouse is right there with him doing that great deed.... Good show...Good people...Keep up the good work! read more

A radio station that I feel discriminates, though I have no proof except that they will only play Utada's smash hit single "Come Back To Me" in the AMs, like 3 AM, when no one is listening. Despite OVERWHELMING REQUESTS, they continue to blacklist one of the most popular, beloved, and requested artists at KHTS, Utada and her pop classic "Come Back To Me". Shame on KHTS. You could've been a leader. Instead, you are a scum radio station. read more

I have to flip whenever Geena the Latina comes on. I find her annoying and she gives the worst advice typically. Otherwise, the music is ok (better variety would be great) and the other hosts are pretty good. read more

I have listened to channel 9.33 for years. I wish they would play a bit more variety during the day, I listen all day at work (from 6:30 am to 4:30 pm) and seriously I hear the same song at least 20x a day. It's a nice change when they mix it up a bit and play something new. Even on their "flush the format" hour they seem to play the same songs... I listened to AJ's playhouse since Nina and Jesse were on it and I liked it much better then. I liked Kalin (Calvin?) too, but I can't stand Sonic- I'm so annoyed they brought him back after getting rid of him! Seriously he brings NOTHING to the table IMO. And being 25 is no excuse for his immaturity, I just turned 26 and my maturity level is definitely higher than that- I'm not surprised he can't find a gf! He definitely doesn't represent my age group IMO. AJ I think can be too judgemental, I mean when Patti Stanger was on, talking about her Millionaire Matchmaker show and how she helps women bring out their best assets and so on- they totally twisted her words to make it sound like she was saying all women had to look like Maxim models- and that so wasn't the case- she was merely saying do what you can to look your best and bring your best foot forward. Seriously it's like they are so judgemental to their guests sometimes that I can't listen to the interviews! As for Hula, I think he's awesome- he's definitely the nicest person on the show. read more

It is very sad to see such negative comments about them, instead of giving them constructive criticism, it seems that cyber bullies wrotesome of these Yelp reviews. I mean I get it if you don't like the radio show, but please stop writing negative comments about how they talk or how they dressed, etc. Stop cyber bullying and write constructive criticism. But anyways, all I want to say is that I like to listen to them daily, listen to their podcasts, they always want to help San Diego community in a positive way. I do get tired of their repetitive music sometimes, but all the radio stations play the same music too but I love how Kramer and Geena are REAL about their problems. No one is perfect in this world and I like how Kramer is honest about his feelings and insecurities, it helps you see how we all go through the same thing and we are not alone. Geena, over the years I have grown up with her and I have realized how positive she has become as a person and as a radio host. They definitely bring a lot of positivism to San Diego, I understand that Kramer can be negative sometimes, especially after everything that happened to him, but Hey! Who doesn't feel down sometimes,but that NEVER stops him in putting the best show and entertainment for San Diego while we are stuck in traffic. Thank You Geena and Kramer for always try to open up to your listeners, when sometimes it can be difficult to share. You guys put a smile on my face every morning. read more

I was a long time listener. Now that they have taken Kane off the morning show, I wont be listening in the am. John,Rose,Riley all good, but Kane made the show. See ya wont be listening. read more

As someone who use to be on this radio station I really cannot understand all this hate I see here. I see people reviewing AJ's Playhouse and not the station itself. Well if that's the case, then this station deserves 5 Stars. The reason being? Every year AJ Machado climbs into a scissor lift and extends himself high above the ground to live in the sky until he raises enough toys for Children's Hospital. I think that is a noble deed indeed. I remember the first year he tried this, before the crane, and we followed him around town in a Bike Cab as a modified Santa Sleigh and collected toys from various stops around town. Now 8 years later the Playhouse has set a lofty goal of 100,000 toys! In a time of economic peril, people losing jobs, insurance rates through the roof, and the Christmas time of year when everyone is having a toy drive, it's nice to see some folks give more of themselves and think of others. Maybe you don't like that Kalvin or Boy Toy Jesse are off the show. Maybe you think poorly of AJ, Hula, Sonic or Gina. But these people care about the kids, and are giving this holiday season of their time and their livelihood. And again as someone who has been a part of the machine and now is a part of the spectacle, I can appreciate what they are doing. Happy Holidays. read more

I'm going for destroying the hate curve here and giving it FIVE BIG SHINING STARS but that's not for the whole 93.3 channel, whose playlist is so repetetive if you like a song you soon won't as they play it every 20 minutes or so. It's not for their morning show which used to be the best in town, and yes we only tuned in to Gina because she was so dumb you wanted to hear what idiot thing she said next. Especially in its early days when they would send Hula out to do crazy stuff like strip dance and ride skateboards down torrey pines grade on the coast highway, they had some magic and those new syndicated guys choke. (Most of the reviews by people saying "I tried to like AJ's Playhouse, really I did" well you are right, by 2008 they were on the downswing. A few years earlier before a few key personnel changes, they were probably the most engaging a.m. ride on the west coast, guaranteed to have you rolling around laughing hysterically) That was also when they had The Hit man Haze, he was something special too. Im giving FIVE STARS to the best 3 hours of music on San DIego's airwaves, PERIOD. from midnight to 3 am every Saturday night- THE DIGITAL GROOVE. Turn on your fog machine, your bubble maker, your lasers, whatever you got, buy the neighbors some earplugs and invite all your friends over and if you don't hear something in those 3 hours that make you stop and say "wow, that sounded soooo cool, what happened to music like that?" then you never had a pounding beat mesmerize you. Last night the set included stuff like "fascinated" by Company B, tinkered just a little bit to freshen it up, it's been stuck in my head since. Let ClearChannel NEVER forget, "It's about the music, stupid!", if you can get that right everything else is gravy. THE DIGITAL GROOVE is food for the ears. read more

I used to be a loyal listener from the days of Aj's play house. After that whole team went to Star 94.1, I started only listening to that morning show. But then the show moved Gina back to 93.3 probably to help their ratings, I started switching back and forth between shows to listen to my favorite Aj in the morning and now Gina on 93.3. Well as of this morning, I will never listen to 93.3 again. I'm taking it off my programed channels in my car, and I will spread word every where that Frankie is an egotistical, shallow male who apparently thinks his sh** doesn't stink. This morning Frankie said he would break up with the girl he's dating if she gained 5-6 lbs. And Gina thankfully said " umm that's how much a girl gains any way when she's on her period". And Frankie replied with" well I wouldn't even talk to her during that time of the month any way" and saying things like she shouldn't be sitting on the couch eating chips and watching reality shows. Give me a break Frankie!! Look at your self, you are far from perfect! The only reason you have time to go to the gym all the time is because you don't have a girl, and I'd be surprised if you ever meet a girl that would ever consider dating you long term. Frankie is always making it sound like he's the picky one and girls don't live up to his standards, but my theory is that women really can't stand him. He constantly has a 5 o' clock shadow even when he is fully shaved. He's rude, inconsiderate and doesn't realize why half of the women in the world have eating disorders is because of opinions like his. I'm done listening to that show, even if it was just for Gina. I hope Frankie gets booted out and Gina has her own show. read more

pros...i am awoken with the pleasant sounds of "AJ's Playhouse", I think they are the best top 40's radio station here in san diego. great station and always funny and entertaining too. a big two thumbs up to the whole gang...AJ, Hula, Geena the Latina, Calvin, Sienna and all the interns. love the song parodies and the "big scoop" as well. cons...wish they were on all the time. read more

Geena! Your laugh is like a dolphin being tortured inside a brazen bull. Only the dolphin won't die and only pauses to return with more of that terrible noise. Stop being happy for the sake of those around yous sanity. read more

They play the same thing over and over. Too many commercials. They play too many older songs as well, and its annoying to hear songs you heard 5 years ago. read more

Worst radio station in Sd. I cant stand hearing geena. Her voice is so irritating. Everytime I hear them say geena the Latina it reminds me of a pair of dirty smelly womens underwear with skid marks. They play the same music over and over. I think geena thinks shes cool with her big scoop. Like omg courtney Kardashian is wearing a see through dress. Like just shut up.Then Kramer annoys me with his dumb stories, and his name reminds me of coffee creamer. Bottom line they are terrible. read more

I'm only giving it 2 stars because the show isn't the same anymore. I LOVE Geena, she is an amazing, strong, empowering woman. The show however, does not have the same dynamic and it really saddens me because Geena and producer Chris work so hard to make the show what it is. Geena and Kramer had such a genuine back and forth friendship and conversation on air (given I know they're radio personalities) but it just went along naturally. Kramer's vulnerability made the shiw unique in a way and he understood women. Yea he said "insensitive" things but that's because he said what came to his mind then when he realized how straightforward he was he DID apologize. With Frankie, it feels soo forced and awkward. He interrupts Geena, he only thinks about himself, and he doesn't have a modern mentality. It's not the same and I'm sure that's why Dj CRiz quit as well after years of being with 9.33. I'm sure that in itself says a lot. I do love Geena, Chris, and Jess though. I feel for them as they were all so close. read more

Went to go pick up tickets that I won. The girl at the front desk was completely unprofessional. There were 2 other coworkers she was talking to. They were talking bad about guests and how she had to pee. I just thought it was overall tacky. For goodness sakes, if you're going to be the face when people walk in the building, learn to be professional, wait until the customer leaves to continue your meaningless conversation. For the few minutes I was there, she spent maybe 15 secs asking for my ID, for a signature and asking what I won. The rest of the time consisted of unprofessional side chat. Oh and you should probably be more discreet about doing your homework at work. read more

I like AJ...he's smart but the only articulate one on the show, which makes me think that this is the reason he is the one running the show! Geena drives me nuts with her mispronunciations of words! I can't believe that she got that job, there are so many more deserving people! I think Hula is gay, but just won't admit it! I like him well enough, but he and Geena seem so naive! What ever happend to Calvin? I'm guessing that he got a better gig and that AJ and the crew are smarting from his departure, by the fact that AJ said the other day that people applying for the fourth person slot, should plan on staying a while. Ouch, baby! read more

AJ's Playhouse is my favorite radio station. I'm at work at 6am every week day and I have to admit that I have to listen to them everyday. They're like my morning coffee. They are always positive and so nice. I have had the pleasure to meet each of them and they have always been nothing but super sweet. They are warm hearted people that give so much props to the San Diego community. They show their love to SD although some of them weren't even raised here. As a local SD girl they have earned my respect. How many radio stations do you think raise money all year long for kids?? Only one - AJ's Playhouse!! As long as they're on i'll be listening. AJ - Host What a wonderful person, each year he goes up in a crane and lives there until he raises to what seems to be a million toys for childrens hospital. He's up there in DECEMBER!!! He's slept in the rain, delt with high winds, doesn't step foot on solid ground until he reaches his goal and he does it all for the little ones. AJ you are truely a wonderful person. Hula- Producer/Co Host FUNNY..FUNNY...FUNNY!! Hard worker and very sweet. He is the teady bear you just can't seem to let go. Always a nice person to talk to. Never too busy to stop and talk to you. Always fun with Hula. Geena the Latina- Co Host Such a lady. Geena is a great role model to the ladies of SD. She brings style and sass to the group. Very sweet and polite. Definitely the type of lady you want to be friends with. She is very positive and doesn't focus on all the haters. Definitely a Class act. Sonic- Co Host What can I say about Sonic..LOL. He's so funny!!!!! The first time I met him he was dressed in a plastic apron, underwear and tube socks on. Oh course it was for a show they were doing at the Beach, and funny as hell. He walked by and gladly took a picure with me. He always makes me laugh with his stunts, eating out the trash was his funnist stunt ever!! They all give so much to our community, so if the haters want to hate remember this....you don't have to like everyone but it does no one any good to spread HATE." read more
