Dominique Sachse
Emmy-winning anchor Dominique Sachse serves a community she has proudly called home since 1975. After beginning her career in radio, she joined KPRC-TV in 1993, where she anchors KPRC 2 News’ 6 and 10 p.m. newscasts and works on special reports throughout the year. Some highlights include covering President George Bush’s inauguration in January 2001 and Pope John Paul II’s visit to Mexico City canonizing Juan Diego in 2002.
Dominique has been honored with awards from both the journalism and Houston community, including spot news coverage from The Houston Press Club and the Texas Associated Press. Dominique received the “Outstanding Young Communications Alumna” and “Distinguished Alumni” awards from UH. She was named 2002 and 2007’s “Best Television Personality” by the Houston Chapter of American Women in Radio and Television, and her 10 p.m. newscast continues to win the Emmy for best newscast. Some of her favorites, however, come from the community. Readers of the Houston Press and Houston Chronicle choose Dominique as their favorite when it comes to best newscaster or local personality. She appreciates the recognition.
Another one of Dominique’s greatest joys in her job is working with local students, helping them plan their careers and future. While Dominique clearly enjoys her work, she knows there’s more to life than “what you do.” Without hesitation, she’ll tell you that having her little boy was life’s biggest blessing and her most important job to date.
