Liz Koh announced she will leave WAFB 9News This Morning Baton Rouge at the end of January 2026.
Koh has been with WAFB 9 for ten years, arriving in Baton Rouge in 2016 as a morning reporter just days before the historic August 2016 floods.
She later anchored WAFB’s 4 p.m. newscast and, in October 2020, stepped into the role of morning anchor for 9News This Morning, succeeding Lauren Westbrook.
Koh now plans to move back home to be closer to her family.
Before WAFB, Koh worked as an MMJ/reporter/producer at Gray Media's sister station, KPLC 7 News, in Lake Charles, Louisiana.
The University of Illinois Urbana–Champaign interned for WICD ABC NewsChannel 15, Champaign.
A proud second-generation Korean American, Liz is the daughter of immigrants from South Korea. She grew up speaking both Korean and English, a background she says has shaped her perspective and storytelling.
