Losing a Legend in Houston

Last week, it was announced that Jacob Rascon was leaving KPRC in Houston. He is crossing the street to KTRK.

But, now a much bigger shoe has dropped at KPRC.

After nearly 3 decades, Anchor Dominique Sachse announced that she is leaving the station at the end of the month.

The fact that KPRC is losing one of, if not the biggest name at the station. And, the fact that she is leaving just as the November book is starting and not sticking around to the end is a huge deal.

Sachse joined KPRC in 1993 and she is loved by viewers across the Houston DMA.

“You always know that days like this will come in the television business,” says Vice President and General Manager Jerry Martin. “That doesn’t make it any easier to say goodbye to someone who feels like Houston’s sweetheart. We wish Dominique all the best; she will always be considered a Houston institution and a part of our KPRC 2 family!”

As for she plans on doing?

Sacse says that she will focus on a new book she has been working on since 2018 called “Life Makeover: Embrace the Bold, Beautiful, and Blessed You.” It will be released on April 5, 2022. She will also focus on continuing to expand her social media empire, as her YouTube channel already has an impressive 1.52 million subscribers.

“I have spent most of my adult life at KPRC, and the staff here is like family to me. It’s that daily one-on-one interaction that I’ll miss the most. It takes a team effort to produce a quality news product, and I’m so proud of this team’s character, integrity, and accomplishments. But it’s mainly service to community, which is how I’ve always seen my role and will continue to do so in my new endeavors,” Dominique said. “I sincerely can’t thank the viewers enough for welcoming me into their homes for as long as they have and making me feel like their friend or neighbor. Truly blessed.”
