Liz Cho (born December 19, 1971) is currently a weekday anchor, alongside Bill Ritter, on Eyewitness News at WABC-TV in New York City. Cho co-anchors the weeknight 6 and 11 p.m. newscasts of Eyewitness News.
She started on July 6, 2003, replacing Diana Williams, who asked for a lighter workload. Cho joined ABC News in 1999 as a Chicago-based correspondent for ABC NewsOne, the network's affiliate news service. She later co-anchored ABC's overnight news program, World News Now, with Derek McGinty. During this time, she also served as a fill-in newsreader for Good Morning America.
Cho was a reporter at WPLG in Miami before moving to ABC News. She grew up in Concord, Massachusetts, the older of two children (she has a younger brother, Andrew). Her father is Sang Cho, a Korean American surgeon in Boston at Boston University School of Medicine, and her mother is Donna Cho, a retired nurse who is Jewish American[citation needed].
In early 2003, Cho was recognized by People magazine as one of the "50 Most Beautiful People".
On May 17, 2007, Cho gave birth to her first child, a baby girl named Louisa Simone. Liz was on maternity leave during the summer of 2007. She returned to work on September 4 with Bill Ritter.
