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, and her mother is Donna Cho, a retired nurse who is Jewish American. 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.
