Liz Roldán is leaving her news director position with KHOU 11 Houston and TEGNA on October 4, 2024.
"Liz Roldán will be departing KHOU at the beginning of October," KHOU President and General Manager David Loving told mikemcguff.com. "We wish her the very best in her next chapter and beyond."
In a new leadership structure, Roldán joined KHOU in December 2020, along with Director of Innovation Stuart Boslow and Digital Director Randy Klein. Former news director Sally Ramirez left for CNBC.
Before arriving in Houston, Roldán was the news director for CBS Miami 4 WFOR and the station's Executive Producer for Special Projects and Investigations.
She previously worked for NBC 6 South Florida WTVJ Miami as a managing editor, special projects producer, and assignment manager.
The University of Texas at Austin grad's first TV job was with WFOR as an assignment manager.
KHOU was a homecoming for Roldán, who grew up in Houston and attended St. Vincent de Paul and St. Agnes Academy.
At the time of her hiring, Roldan was a 12-time regional Emmy winner and recently recognized with the Alfred I. duPont-Columbia University Award for Outstanding Investigative Reporting in the Public Interest, the National Edward R. Murrow Award for News Documentary and the National Emmy for Outstanding News Documentary.
