FM 94/9
Neighborhood: Mission Valley

1615 Murray Canyon Road, Suite 710
San Diego, CA 92108

lisa f. writes: Thank you, Ninety Four Nine, for being the last bastion of intelligence on the radio. I'm one of those folks that can listen to pretty much anything. (When I had a car with AM only, I listened to KPOP.) But when most radio folks open their mouths,…

KSDS
Neighborhood: Downtown

1313 Park Blvd
San Diego, CA 92101

Tom H. writes: 88.3 KSDS Jazz most of the time on a college radio station?

Real Jazz. No Kenny G., Michael Bolton, Spyral notebook and the Manhattan Bus Transfer. You get Hines, Brubeck, Armstrong, Ferguson, Hampton and on and on. I probably listen to this…

San Diego City Beat

3530 Camino Del Rio N Ste 105
San Diego, CA 92108

Tiffany S. writes: Years ago, City Beat was SLAMM, a local free music rag, and a damn good one at that. It's still the best print resource in town for local music stories and comprehensive listings. The music reviews are hilarious and/or spot on, and while Troy Johnson…

91X/XTRA FM
Neighborhood: Serra Mesa

9660 Granite Ridge Dr
San Diego, CA 92123

Christine C. writes: David M. really said it best. 91 X use to be cool. I think 94.9 has a better play list, but I still like to tune into Chris Cantore in the morning sometimes. Although the show features too many moronic comedic bits, the stupidity of the program is…

Black Box Recording Studios and Rehearsal Rooms
Neighborhood: Golden Hill

2469 Broadway
San Diego, CA 92102

Christy R. writes: Rehearsal spaces are typically vile, dirty, scary places with the most unholy restrooms ever known to woman. Vaguely sinister, vividly tattooed, long-haired heavy metal dudes and palpably arrogant, parentally-sponsored indie boys wander freely,…

KPBS
Neighborhood: Rolando

5200 Campanile Dr
San Diego, CA 92182

Matthew V. writes: I don't want to hear about disasters. I would much rather listen to soothing music, or learn about the latest geeky thing I can distract myself with. Sometimes, I don't get that luxury. Today KPBS (89.5 FM) is talking about fire. They're talking…

Slamm Music Magazine
Neighborhood: Mission Valley

3530 Camino Del Rio N

9660 Granite Ridge Dr
Ste 200
San Diego, CA 92123

JENNIFER R. writes: I like this radio station a whole lot, i grew up to this kind of music oldies, when i tell people that. They, say, girl what you know about this kind of music. hehe

Channel 39 - Cable 7 - KNSD
Neighborhood: Gaslamp

225 Broadway
San Diego, CA 92101

Tracy S. writes: Watching their fire coverage the past three days, I give this channel five stars.

Non-sensational reporting (for the most part); their use of Thomas guide maps when regular maps would take too long to come up with; the twelve hour shifts the anchors…

Espresso San Diego's Coffeehouse & Cafe Newspaper
Neighborhood: East Village

740 13th Street
San Diego, CA 92101

d.a. k. writes: John Rippo has done a formidable job of creating & maintaining, for decades now, one of San Diego's only free, independent news sources. The early-American, old school coffeehouse broadsheet style is fun. And the paper is immensely readable. At…

Star 100 7 Fm
Neighborhood: Kearny Mesa

7677 Engineer Rd
San Diego, CA 92111

Lucy E. writes: I think the JACK FM AM show has finally gotten their groove.

Monique is the main DJ. She was a road comic for years. Sassy!!!! I like that her humor is smart/wit. Her sidekicks are Greg and Sara.

It reminds me of listening in at a family…

Neighborhood: Downtown

111 Elm Street, Suite 209
San Diego, CA 92101

Steve R. writes: I'll second David's review. I stumbled across this site and now have the RSS feed in my newsreader.

A nice alternative, unfiltered view of San Diego news.

Finest City Broadcasting
Neighborhood: Serra Mesa

9660 Granite Ridge Dr
San Diego, CA 92123

anthony b. writes: Finest City Broadcasting is San Diego's alternative to Clear Channel.
They host the better radio stations in our market (like 91X) and are not tied up in corporate bullsh*t. Tune into 91.1 FM from 5:30-10am and listen to Cantore in the Morning. Hands…

Slacker, Inc. Headquarters

16935 W. Bernardo Dr
Suite 101
San Diego, CA 92127

Kgtv Channel 10 News

4600 Air Way
San Diego, CA 92102

Steve R. writes: Walker S. review sounds like it came straight from the PR department at KGTV.

Anyway, I guess this would be the not so bad, lower budget, always trying harder news station.

Carol LeBeau looks like a doting mother while poor Hal Clement looks like he is…

Broadcast Company of the Americas

3655 Nobel Dr
San Diego, CA 92122

David M. writes: This is the company that runs Cash 1700 (a financial radio station) and the Mighty Double X sports stations (1090 a.m., 105.7 fm.

I enjoy the sports talk personalities and am amused, not irritated, by the blatant homerism. I also feel sports talk…

XX Sports Radio

Too Much Show
BP Show for game days

Thank God I get them in LA and on line.

Keep up the good work.

North Park News
Neighborhood: Downtown

1250 6th Ave
San Diego, CA 92101

mike s. writes: If I'm a bit biased in my review I apologize. If I get the details mixed up it's because the events that took place happened when I was 6-17 years old. Please let me know and I'll correct.

My father, Thomas Shess, started this little newspaper out of…

Kyxy 96 5 Fm Radio

8033 Linda Vista Rd
San Diego, CA 92111

David M. writes: Okay, this is housewife music, but this station is so unhip that it's actually kind of hip. It will play songs you forgot you knew and make you like them. However, the DJs with their mellow voices are easy to make fun of.

Xetv Fox 6
Neighborhood: Kearny Mesa

8253 Ronson Rd
San Diego, CA 92111

David M. writes: This is the station of the Simpsons, American Idol, 24 and Family Guy and NFL Football. It doesn't matter what else is on it.

MyTV 13 XDTV
Neighborhood: Kearny Mesa

8253 Ronson Rd
San Diego, CA 92111

David M. writes: This station plays all the Americanized telenovelas like Watch Over Me and Wicked Wicked Games. The shows are produced here at Stu Segall Productions so watching them helps the local economy and your friends with dreams of making it in show biz.

The Ubiquitous Bee
Neighborhood: Middletown

2400 Kettner Blvd
studio 252
San Diego, CA 92101

Edenista M. writes: In this gallery/studio, you'll encounter both great art and great instruction. Jacqueline's myriad of portraits speak for itself, and her background as a body art master complements her artistic approach and teaching. Her studio specializes in life…

Soundstorm Entertainment Productions

San Diego, CA 92101

Robyn d. writes: Back in college, I worked with Nelson and Soundstorm for several years on an annual student production called Pilipino Cultural Night (PCN). These ain't you're ordinary skits in the quad kinda shows, they were full on Broadway caliber extravaganzas.…

Cox Communications
Neighborhood: Chula Vista

581 Telegraph Canyon Rd
Chula Vista, CA 91910

Tom H. writes: They charge too much...

Service here is quick and friendly. good enough.

Kgtv San Diego's 10

4600 Air Way
San Diego, CA 92102

David M. writes: This is probably the station Ron Burgundy worked for. And little has changed. Probably because San Diegans do like happy talk and panda births. Still, I'm a big fan of The Bachelor so you know I'm helping their ratings at least one night a week.

Kson 97 3 Fm Today's Best Country
Neighborhood: Mission Valley

1615 Murray Canyon Rd Ste 710
San Diego, CA 92108

Steve R. writes: Generally OK. Very corporate radio with a set play list. Seems they have lost a lot of personalities over to US 95.7. The commercials they run for Paycheck giveaways on TV are entertaining. An average station.

San Diego Union-Tribune

350 Camino De La Reina
San Diego, CA 92108

stephen l. writes: Sunday mornings were fun family time in the stephen l. household. I'd wake up around 7 and start a pot of coffee, boil or poach a couple of eggs, cut some fresh fruit, and dish out some yogurt. Maybe I'd toast some bread or a bagel. Then I'd run down…

Kswb-Tv
Neighborhood: Kearny Mesa

7191 Engineer Rd
San Diego, CA 92111

David M. writes: This used to be the WB, now it's home to the CW, which is almost the same except the former UPN black sitcoms and the San Diego-produced Veronica Mars.

UCSD Guardian
Neighborhood: La Jolla

University of California San Diego
9500 Gilman Dr
La Jolla, CA 92039

Christine C. writes: The UCSD Guardian is a damn fine paper. I'm pretty closely associated with the publication, but the California College Media Association seems to like the paper as well.

Speaking from experience, I can say that the editors and designers who work at…

La Jolla Light
Neighborhood: La Jolla

565 Pearl Street
La Jolla, CA 92039

Christine C. writes: The La Jolla Light is a useful community Newspapers for many reasons. It always covers the new business the pop up in La Jolla. La Jolla is a hub bub for restaurants and art galleries so there are always great restaurant reviews and art stories to…

Carmel Valley News

12625 High Bluff Dr
Ste 215
San Diego, CA 92130

Steve R. writes: An okay newspaper for a weekly.

Once you get past page 3 or so you have read all the news there is for the week and the rest are just inserts and ads for real estate companies - but I guess that's how they keep the paper free.

The paper is also online…

Xlnc 1-Classical Music-90 7 Fm
Neighborhood: Palm City

1690 Frontage Rd
Chula Vista, CA 91911

Tom H. writes: I loved this Station when the old man was alive. Now, without Daddy Warbucks footing the bill we're treated to an endless pledge drive to keep XLNC commercial free. The old KFSD 94.1 Kingsley dude does his spiel for the drive in obviously taped…

Kfmb 760 Am & Jack FM
Neighborhood: Kearny Mesa

7677 Engineer Rd
San Diego, CA 92111

Chris K. writes: Jack FM is ok. Nothing big. Sometimes I don't mind hearing Wilson Phillips and then a Guns and Roses song. But it seems so corporate. Star had a good thing going and then it changed. Good for 94.1 picking up the name and format.

760 boils my blood…

Time Warner Cable

8949 Ware Ct
San Diego, CA 92121

Pearl L. writes: Okay, so you're okay, I haven't had that many problems with you. Well, besides the many, many times I've had to pull the cable cord and restart you, you're okay. I guess the big problem was when I first moved into this house, and a month later, the…

Kgb Fm 101 5 Radio
Neighborhood: Downtown, Little Italy

San Diego, CA 92101

Luana S. writes: I enjoy the DSC show in the morning. Some of the bits are kind of lame, such as the Wednesday sins confessions. Bromo is hard to listen too. Is he for real?

I don't think I could name any of the other djs. But I enjoy the music they play.

Kifm Smooth Jazz 98 1
Neighborhood: Mission Valley

1615 Murray Canyon Rd Ste 710
San Diego, CA 92108

Christine C. writes: David M. said it best, but my mom loves this station.

Of course, I despise it and all that it stands for, but this is the perfect station to put on if you need to be lulled to sleep.

102.1 KPRI
Neighborhood: La Jolla

5015 Shoreham Pl
San Diego, CA 92122

Rob K. writes: Well I reviewed FM 94.9 so I guess I should at least say a few words here about 102.1. Just to be a dick and drive home the point about how much 94.9 infuriates me I'm giving KPRI one more star than them. In truth I listent to KPRI less and would…

San Diego Magazine
Neighborhood: Downtown, Little Italy

1450 Front St
San Diego, CA 92101

David M. writes: This has some interesting articles but sometimes it looks likes it's an excuse for advertisers and socialites who like getting their picture taken. Consider it a more mature version of 944 that actually pays its writers. The restaurant reviews focus…

San Diego Reader
Neighborhood: Little Italy

1703 India St
San Diego, CA 92101

Josh B. writes: First off, I'll start by saying I write for the Reader. Unlike Kinsee, who won't tell you she writes for the competing paper, before trashing us in the review. Which is really lame, Kinsee. I have no problem telling people that Seth, Troy and Stevens…
