Ashley Moss joined the Louisiana First News WVLA NBC Local 33 and WGMB Fox 44 team as a weekday evening anchor with André Moreau and Andrew Epperson in December 2025.
“It is an honor to step into this role for Louisiana First News,” Moss said. “With its hospitality, rich history, and vibrant culture, Louisiana already feels like home, and I’m excited to add more of that energy to the anchor desk each weekday evening.”
Moss most recently worked on CBS News Texas Mornings, KTVT Dallas-Fort Worth's new concept, The Desk, which gave viewers a look behind the scenes at the work that goes into delivering the latest news.
Before joining CBS News Texas, Ashley was a lead nightside reporter and fill-in anchor for Oklahoma's NewsChannel 4 KFOR in Oklahoma City.
Ashley launched her news career as a general assignment reporter for Texas Metro News, a Black Press-affiliated newspaper, while also filing stories for The Dallas Morning News. She focused her reporting on communities of color and covered down-ballot races during the 2020 election season.
Ashley graduated with honors from Spelman College in Atlanta, Georgia, and received a graduate degree from the S.I. Newhouse School of Public Communications at Syracuse University.
“I’m excited to welcome Ashley Moss to the Louisiana First News team. Her eye for news and impactful storytelling will be a great asset for our newsroom. I know she’ll help take us to another level,” said John Walton, News Director for Louisiana First News.
“Ashley brings a powerful combination of journalistic skill, warmth, and professionalism to our team,” said Tim Ingram, Vice President & General Manager. “She exemplifies what Louisiana First News stands for: authentic storytelling, a deep connection to community, and a commitment to delivering the news that matters most to our viewers.”
At the time, there were on-air and social promos touting the change. I can assure you I didn't party too hard over the holidays and get confused. The only hangover I get these days is from writing too many media blog posts (or attending my documentary's premiere in Minneapolis).
Well, go ahead and forget that news, since the Channel 26 news is back on the schedule this week.

In this new episode of "Friends of Frank,” Hello Houston co-host Frank Billingsley reunites with Dominique Sachse, his former TV colleague, for a conversation about her start in media.
"I was doing traffic reporting for KTRH and KLOL on weekends, while I was doing temp work at law firms downtown, some acting and modeling—whatever else came my way," Sachse remembered about her very first job on Houston radio.
From her early days as a traffic reporter at MIX 96.5 KHMX to KPRC 2 Houston morning traffic, morning anchor, then 4pm anchor, and finally to award-winning evening news anchor, Sachse owes the start of her career to Professor Emeritus and former Director of the School of Communication, University of Houston, Dr. Robert Musburger.
That led the discussion to Post-Newsweek and the big change the KPRC owner brought to the then-known News 2 Houston, which was based on WSVN 7 Miami.
But it was a smoky-eye makeup tutorial that first caught the attention of online fans, launching her unexpected journey as a digital content creator. Heck, even I once asked Sashse a makeup question for my wife!
"It started as literally taking my cell phone, doing a reverse camera kind of smokey eye tutorial," Sachse told Billingsley. "And I'll never forget I did it and I posted it to KPRC Facebook page. I didn't even have my own platform at the time, and the only thing I'd been posting on our station Facebook page was either news stories or maybe, you know, a photo of me and the dog or, you know, an event or whatever. I had never done anything beauty related, and I posted it and I thought, oh, what have I done? And then all of a sudden it just blew up. I had more views, more comments on that one post than anything I had ever posted."
Today, Sachse thrives on YouTube, hosting the Over 50 & Flourishing podcast and inspiring millions to find confidence, embrace their inner and outer beauty, and truly flourish.
Hello Houston streams live on YouTube weekdays from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. CT and airs live on Houston Public Media’s News 88.7.

The KCBD 11 Lubbock First Alert Weather Team announced a leadership transition as Chief Meteorologist John Robison has decided to scale back his responsibilities at the station.
Robison will remain at KCBD and move into the role of Senior Meteorologist.
Beginning in January 2026, Robison will deliver forecasts on NewsChannel 11 at Noon and 4 p.m., Monday through Thursday, and will also provide weather coverage on Sunday nights at 9 and 10 p.m.
As part of the transition, Steve Divine will oversee the First Alert Weather Team as Lead Forecaster. A fixture at KCBD for more than 25 years with over 40 years of broadcasting experience, Divine will be seen weeknights on NewsChannel 11 at 5, 6, 9, and 10 p.m.
Meteorologist Shania Jackson will step into the role of morning forecaster, appearing weekdays on Daybreak Today and Good Day Lubbock. Both Divine and Jackson have made multi-year commitments to ensure a smooth and successful transition for the weather team.
Robison joined NewsChannel 11 in 1983 and holds the Seal of Approval from the American Meteorological Society. He has been named Best Weathercaster (District 3) in Texas multiple times by the Associated Press and was honored as a “Friend of Education” by the Lubbock Classroom Teachers Association. His academic background includes a Master’s degree in Mass Communication from Texas Tech University, a Bachelor’s degree in Mass Communication from the University of North Texas, and certification as a Broadcast Meteorologist from Mississippi State University.
Divine has served as a co-host and weather anchor for Daybreak Today and Noon News and has more than 24 years of experience forecasting weather in West Texas and eastern New Mexico. For his work in severe weather education, both on-air and in the community, Divine was named the National Weather Association’s “Broadcaster of the Year,” an honor bestowed on only a few dozen broadcasters nationwide. He has also received multiple Associated Press awards, including Best Weathercast, and is twice certified by the National Weather Service as a Weather Observer.
Jackson joined KCBD in July 2022 as a multimedia journalist after graduating from Texas Tech University’s College of Media & Communication. Later that year, while covering Hurricane Ian, she discovered a passion for weather forecasting. She recently completed her meteorology coursework through Penn State’s Weather Forecasting Undergraduate Certificate Program, fulfilling her goal of becoming a meteorologist.
