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.Stasia Lanier
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.
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!

In her own words: “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.”
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.
Thank you, Stasia! We love you!
