Listeners can record a farewell message for Lanier

Stasia Lanier has worn many hats during her three-decade tenure at KSUT. She was hired initially in 1993 as the office manager. But since KSUT is a radio station, it wasn’t long before the broadcasting bug bit her. She started doing on-air shows and eventually took on the role of music director.

“Enormous gratitude to the KSUT family, my colleagues past and present, and our amazing listening community for a fulfilling and rewarding career. It’s been a privilege and a joy to live and work in this beautiful region and be a part of KSUT’s community on the air,” Lanier said.

She ascended to the position of station manager in the mid-2000s. After some time in that role, she focused on being a Music Blend host and overseeing KSUT’s music and marketing departments.

Stasia’s last day at KSUT is Thursday, March 2. The KSUT family would like to extend a fond farewell and best wishes to her as she spends more time with her family and in the great outdoors of Southwest Colorado.

Among her many accomplishments:

• She’s been the longtime host of the popular Saturday morning music show San Juan Sunrise.
• She played a direct role in helping KSUT evolve into a regional media organization.
• She’s been a valuable part of the station’s digital-web production efforts.

But now, she’s going to try something new on for size: retirement!

Thank you, Stasia! We love you!
