Erik Barajas Hits The Houston Airwaves

So the other day I was looking at another blog and I see this photo:



The face was familiar but I couldn't place it so I read the post.

This is Erik Barrajas. I remember seeing Erik on the telly when I would travel to San Antonio. He was working for KSAT.

Erik is a native Houstonian and went to U of H. He is now working for KTRK (Channel 13). He is a co-anchor for the 400p news.

Erik's brother Omar worked with Sugar Land Stuart so I'm sure this is sort of like 6 degrees of Kevin Bacon.

Welcome back to Houston Erik!

Welcome to Houston Erik.

David you guys can't have him...you already got Chris Wragge from us:)

Timmy said...

viv: he is Mike's (from 26) nephew.

david: he just got here to houston. let us enjoy him awhile before you snatch him up.

alan: yes. nyc stole chris wragge from us. have you seen him without his highlights? did you know that I met him one day. I gave him a lead for a story so he invited me to the filming. and I think ugly betty begins next week.

I saw him first here in Corpus Christi where he use to anchor. His is hottstuff! However, his wife isn't much to look at. She's a total snob!! He is such a gentleman who held the door open for me in church one day. He was all smiles. She just gave me an ugly look. Whata witch!

Hi to all that read this comments,

I too use to enjoy watching the news on weekends because Erik Barajas would make the news worth watching, now we have Charles Gonzalez not even close to being cute or good looking. now it's just the news.
I too met Erik and even paid for his lunch at Gini's in San Antonio..I miss him

We want him back.

Damn, he sure is sexy. I've seen him recently doing the news on ABC 13, and I couldn't even concentrate on what was happening, since he is just so hot! And the way the arms of his suit hugs his muscles tightly...yum! :D

I met Erik Barajas leaving Kroger on Buffalo Speedway. I have been praying I would run into him there for months, considering the Channel 13 station is in the lot next door! He is absolutely gorgeous in person and I felt like a sill school girl, though I am 35!I was backing out of my parking space and there he was walking out. I stopped, rolled down my window and proceeded to probably make a big fool out of myself. Needless to say, he was very sweet and he didn't seem full of himself one bit! I am so happy I shop at Kroger often!!

I go to that Kroger's. This guy is now my favorite anchor on TV. I watch 13 because of him. I hope he frequents the nearby restaurants and, of course, does not invite his wife. wooof! Way to go channel 13. Do NOT let him leave. And there is only one lady I do not like on 13. Everyone is super except that one anchor. What is her name.

If you like Erik and that area, I would go to Vietopia to see all the hot Latino and nice waiters there.

Veronica said...

I went to high school with him...he was hot then and he is still as gorgeous as I remember him.

Just saw him on VIVA! Houston. Watch every week this show plus as anchor. BRAVO, Erik! Wow, you told them like it is with the mayoral election. Yes, gay is not an issue in this race. Vote for the best candidate. Love him and now another reason to love him more. Great work!

I met Erik Barajas today at Kroger also. He is a very nice person, really down to earth and not stuck up at all. He is very good looking, especially in person. I've seen him at Kroger once before, but didn't get a chance to talk to him that day. I'm glad I got the chance today.
