Early life and education
Cho grew up in Concord, Massachusetts, and has a younger brother, Andrew.[1] She was born to Sang In Cho (d. March 13, 2009),[2] a Korean American surgeon,[1] and a Jewish-American nurse,[1] Donna Cho (née Weltman).[2][3] Her father, born and raised in South Korea, immigrated to the United States to practice medicine and was a liver and kidney transplant surgeon who headed the team that did the first liver transplant in Boston.[4] He died from colon cancer on March 13, 2009.[2][5] Liz Cho attended Boston University, majoring in journalism and history.[6]
Career
Her first professional work in journalism was as an assignment editor at New England Cable News in Newton, Massachusetts.[6] Cho was next a reporter at WPLG in Miami, Florida before moving to ABC News 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 correspondent and fill-in anchor for Good Morning America.[6]
Cho started at WABC-TV on July 7, 2003, replacing Diana Williams at 6 p.m. and 11 p.m.[6] In 2011, Cho began anchoring the station's new "First at 4:00" newscast, with David Novarro, filling the hour left vacant by the departure of The Oprah Winfrey Show.[7] In addition, as of 2012, she continues to anchor the 6 p.m. broadcasts with Bill Ritter.[6]

She and husband Evan Gottlieb had daughter Louisa Simone Gottlieb on May 17, 2007, in New York City.[8]
