THE FACES BEHIND THE MICS
Bob Long & Corey Teuton
Since 1981, Bob Long has served as the General Manager and class instructor for the broadcasting classes. His professional background includes three years as a News Editor at WHLO Radio in Akron and eight years as News Director at WKNT-AM/FM (now WNIR) in Kent/Akron.
Corey Teuton has been the Assistant General Manager since 2022. He joined as a student in 2020 and held a variety of student management positions, until his graduation at Streetsboro High. He was then hired immediately after. He is also the Music Programming Director of The University of Akron's radio station, WZIP-FM. Corey is majoring in Adolescence to Young Adult Integrated Language Arts.
The Alternation is run by Streetsboro High School students who can join by taking the Introduction to Broadcasting class. This class is designed to provide an overview of broadcasting in America as well as on-air experience. The class begins with an overview of WSTB history beginning with the issuance of the station’s FCC license in 1972. After that students learn about radio sales and marketing, audience ratings, how to analyze a broadcast market for acceptable formats and activities, ethics in broadcasting and news, FCC broadcast rules, and the development of rock music in America. The knowledge gained in the class not only provides students with the necessary tools to be on staff, but also provides life skills that can be used in a variety of occupations including business, marketing, and sales.

It all started in 2002 at a broadcasting convention in Las Vegas. Our team cashed in some arcade tickets for a talking cow toy—just for fun. Fast forward a few years, and that silly little cow became the unexpected inspiration for our official mascot: Madcow. Curious how it all happened? Watch the full video to hear Bob Long tell the whole story!
