KFOX News Channel 14 welcomes new anchor
Liz Dueweke, who's been in broadcast news in Seattle for 10 years, is the new co-anchor at Channel 14-KFOX News with Robert Holguin.
Dueweke will work alongside Holguin and chief meteorologist Brad Montgomery every weekday at 5 and 9 p.m. beginning Aug. 7.
She was formerly FOX13 Good Morning Seattle's morning news anchor.
Dueweke thanked her fans in Seattle on her Facebook page. She has also worked in news stations in Oklahoma, Yuma, Arizona, and Flint, Michigan.
"Seattle will always be part of my heart and who I am. However, since the only constant in life is change, I have thrown out my 2 a.m. wake-up call and I am starting a new adventure in Texas. I appreciate all the kind and loving comments. Thank you all for allowing me into your homes over the years as part of your morning routine, and accepting me fully, flaws and all. If you are reading this, I am so grateful for you and my heart is full," she posted.
In an interview posted on Facebook with Holguin, Dueweke shared she loves creating something new every day at work, and on her off time she enjoys a good bike ride.
