Liz Cho attended Boston University, majoring in journalism and history. Her first professional work in journalism was as an assignment editor at New England Cable News in Newton, Massachusetts.
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.
Cho started at WABC-TV on July 6, 2003, replacing Diana Williams at 6 p.m. and 11 p.m. 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. In addition, as of 2012, she continues to anchor the 6 p.m. broadcasts with Bill Ritter.
Cho grew up in Concord, Massachusetts, and has a younger brother, Andrew. She was born to Sang In Cho (d.

Her father, born and raised in Korea, immigrated to the US to practice medicine and was a liver and kidney transplant surgeon who headed the team that did the first liver transplant in Boston. He died from colon cancer in 2009.
