J&J's Community - 88.9 WSTB

by J&J on October 10, 2025

There's a special kind of energy that comes from tuning into 88.9 WSTB - the Streetsboro-based radio station run by students who bring heart, creativity, and community pride to every broadcast. For listeners across Northeast Ohio, it's more than just a station - it's a soundtrack of local passion and youthful ambition.

In the latest J&J's Community video, we step inside the studios of 88.9 WSTB to see what makes this station such an essential part of our region's story. From mentoring students to amplifying local voices, WSTB embodies the same spirit that drives strong communities everywhere: learning, connection, and giving back.

Where Students Find Their Voice

For more than 50 years, WSTB has been a cornerstone of experiential learning for Streetsboro City Schools. Students don't just learn about broadcasting - they do it. Every show, every playlist, every on-air moment is led by young broadcasters gaining real-world experience and confidence.

Inside the studio, you'll find future journalists, producers, and creators - each learning how to communicate, manage a live show, and connect with an audience. They're building life skills that go far beyond the microphone.

As one student says in the video, "It's more than just a radio station - it's where we grow up." That simple truth captures what makes 88.9 WSTB extraordinary.

Education Meets Inspiration

At its core, WSTB is about empowerment through education. Guided by passionate teachers and mentors, students gain both technical know-how and leadership skills. They learn how to think on their feet, take responsibility, and express themselves - lessons that will echo long after graduation.

That's why J&J Plumbing, Heating, Cooling & Electric chose to highlight WSTB in our J&J's Community series. We wanted to celebrate a place that's shaping the next generation - not just of broadcasters, but of community leaders.

It shines a light on how local businesses can uplift educational programs that make real change right here in Northeast Ohio.

And it's all powered by students - a remarkable reminder of what happens when young people are given the tools and trust to lead.
