In a flash, she's gone

Things had been looking up for '80s rock station The Flash (92.1 FM) in recent weeks.

Its ratings, minscule, had nearly doubled in the spring Arbitron ratings. And it just put in place a new radio tower that increased its signal from 2,950 watts to 6,000.

But now, The Flash has suffered a big loss. Staci Anderson, who held the multiple titles of operations manager, program director and afternoon DJ, has quit after 2 1/2 years at the station. Her last day will be Friday.

The reason: Exhaustion.

“I haven’t had a vacation in a year and a half,” she says. “It took a lot out of me. I need to take a break before I start hating radio, which I love. It was becoming overwhelming.”

Anderson’s departure comes on the heels of the resignations of operations manager Caren Berry and popular afternoon drive-time DJ Keith Brooks. She will continue to host the “Super Lotto Plus” shows on TV.

“And I’m going to start my own voiceover business from home,” Anderson says. “I’m going to see how this goes. It’s time to have a life.”
