"Houston has been amazing but it’s time to say goodbye," Lightfoot tweeted. "I’m joining an exceptional team of journalists at CBS NY as the assistant news director. Back to where it all started. The work begins NOW. @ NYC"

Lightfoot joined KTRK in September of 2017.
In 2019, the two time EMMY award winner was elected as the VP of Broadcast for The Houston Association of Black Journalists (HABJ).
