Lily Jang joined KHOU-TV in February 2012 as the weekday morning anchor. Previously, Jang was a morning news anchor and reporter for Seattle’s KCPQ-TV. In late 2016, she announced she was leaving the station. Then, in 2017, she announced she was becoming a real-estate agent and would be hosting a real-estate segment on KPRC-TV.

Despite being shuffled off KHOU-TV, Lily Jang has found a way back to Houston television audiences, this time on a competitor’s channel.

Karla Barguiarena joined ABC 13 Eyewitness News as a reporter in February 2014. Attentive Houston TV watchers may remember that she was a reporter for KHOU-TV several years ago and anchor for Telemundo's KTMD-TV. According to the station's website, she went into marketing and public relations for a few years before returning to the news business. A little more than a year after joining KTRK-TV, she left to join her husband in New Haven, Conn. She's now a freelance reporter for ABC News One. Photo: ABC 13 Eyewitness News

Over the weekend, Jang debuted her new feature and gig on KPRC-TV’s weekend newscast: Lily’s List. The anchor-turned-real estate agent is highlighting open houses around the Houston area.

“I am so blessed to be able to merge my former TV life with my current career in real estate. It’s the best of both worlds,” she said in a statement.

Rewinding a bit, Jang came to Houston in 2012 as a weekday morning news anchor for Channel 11. Four years later, a new news director arrived and shuffled everyone around, moving Jang to a reporter position. She left soon after.

Recently, she announced she had become a licensed real estate agent for Turner Mangum.
