KPRC Anchor Dominique Sachse has gone missing from the station's 5PM newscast, but is still there at 6 and 10PM.

Sachse says she has come off the 5:00 newscast and it's a good thing.

"From my perspective, I feel very fortunate to work for a company that understands and respects my desire to always find a balance between work, family and community," Sachse told mikemcguff.com. "Freeing up the 5pm newscast allows me more family and after-school time."

Sachse says she's going to be on the NBC affiliate's 6 and 10pm news for a long time to come.

4pm anchor Lauren Freeman gets bumped up the food chain and has taken over for Sachse at %PM, while still doing the 4:00.
