Dominique Sachse's reinvention after KPRC 2 Houston
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.

Texas TV, radio and media gifts 2025
The holidays are almost upon us, so what are some quick gifts you can buy on Amazon related to Texas TV, radio, or media in general?
Now, this idea didn't occur to me just because my 101 KLOL documentary "Runaway Radio" is now on DVD and would make a perfect Christmas gift. It is available on Amazon, Walmart, Best Buy and Barnes & Noble websites.
No, I thought about the Texas television anchors, reporters, meteorologists, and other journalists who have worked hard on a labor of love like your favorite lowly Texas media blogger did with his 14 year in the making film.
This list is drawn from books I have received releases for over the years, with a few bonus titles from before my blog existed. To illustrate how difficult it is to be an author, some of the books I have featured over the years are no longer available to make this list!
Here are some Texas media gift options from Houston to Dallas, Austin, and El Paso, plus surrounding areas in the Lone Star State!
