Tiffany Liou signed off from WFAA 8 in Dallas-Fort Worth after more than eight years at the station.
"I love this team to my core," Liou posted. "WFAA will always be a part of me."
Liou announced her departure from the Tegna-owned ABC affiliate, with her final day at WFAA on July 1, 2026. She is returning to the Bay Area to join ABC7 KGO-TV in San Francisco as the station's evening South Bay reporter.
Liou joined WFAA in April 2018 as a multi-skilled journalist and general assignment reporter. During her time in North Texas, she covered many of the region's biggest stories, including the Uvalde and Allen mass shootings, the Hill Country flooding, major severe weather events and countless breaking news stories. She also helped produce WFAA's first 30-minute Asian American and Pacific Islander community special, highlighting the AANHPI experience across North Texas.
Her reporting has been recognized with numerous honors, including multiple Lone Star Emmy Awards, NPPA awards, Texas Associated Press honors, Texas Broadcast News Awards and RTDNA Edward R. Murrow Awards as part of WFAA's reporting teams. In 2019, Liou was named the recipient of the RTDNA/RTDNF Michele Clark Fellowship, recognizing promising minority journalists. She has also been a frequent speaker and instructor for organizations including the National Press Photographers Association (NPPA), the Asian American Journalists Association (AAJA) and Investigative Reporters and Editors (IRE).
Liou gave birth to her son in August 2022.
Before joining WFAA, Liou spent two years as a reporter and multimedia journalist at News 9 KWTV in Oklahoma City, where she covered severe weather and breaking news. While there, she traveled to Haiti as a solo journalist for an Emmy Award-winning story and served as a senior multimedia journalist, helping train other reporters.
Earlier in her career, Liou worked as a reporter, multimedia journalist and anchor at KWQC in Davenport, Iowa, and as a reporter and producer at KTVE/KARD in West Monroe, Louisiana. She also gained valuable newsroom experience at KTVU in Oakland, California, beginning as an intern before being promoted to overnight assignment editor.
Interestingly, Liou's career path didn't begin in journalism. After earning a Bachelor of Science in Commerce from Santa Clara University's Leavey School of Business, she worked as an associate marketing manager at Salesforce. She later made what she has described as a "leap of faith" to pursue journalism full-time—a decision she has called one of the best she has ever made.
Her move to KGO marks a homecoming. In addition to growing up in the Bay Area and attending Santa Clara University, Liou previously interned in KGO's marketing research department before launching her on-air journalism career.
