Lisa Foronda leaving Channel 11
That's according to this story posted on KHOU.com:
11 News anchor Lisa Foronda has decided to leave the news business to launch another career outside broadcast news.
“I’m ready to do something else,” Foronda said. “I want to do something that’s not in the public eye. I really like Channel 11 and I love these people and am truly fortunate to be working at a station that believes in quality journalism. I got to meet some wonderful people in the community and I’m anxious to be working with them face to face rather than talking to them through the camera.”
According to KHOU-TV President and General Manager, Peter Diaz, “This is totally Lisa’s decision. I’ve been trying to talk her out of it since she told me last month, but her mind is made up. We wish her all the best in the next chapter of her life.”
The story doesn't say what her new business will be, but she will be staying in Houston. December 22 is her last on-air date.
That's a shame. She's one of my favorite local anchors.
