Lucy Noland
American news anchor

While attending college at the University of Alaska Fairbanks, Noland started reporting on the college radio station, KSUA-FM. This job helped her find a place at the Fairbanks station KATN, first as an intern, then as a reporter and anchor. While at KATN, Noland filed news reports for CBS Radio Network, and filed reports for CNN. In Anchorage, her first assignment took her to an erupting volcano. Later Noland covered the Exxon Valdez trial alongside the world press.

She landed a position with ABC's minority management training program through KGO in San Francisco. Noland was based at the network's Fresno station KFSN, and filed in-depth reports for both stations. One of her many assignments took her south of the border to see how easy it was to cross illegally into the United States. After a few months with the ABC program, Lucy was offered and accepted the main anchor position with the CBS station KJEO. In Detroit, she worked at WJBK FOX 2 from 1997 to 2004. When coming to New York in 2004, she began hosting Good Day New York. At first, she was anchor of Wakeup with then anchor Chris Gailus and eventually moved up to the First Edition newscast with Lyn Brown.

On July 1, 2006, Noland inherited the role of anchorwoman for Fox 5 Live at 11, when Lyn Brown retired from WNYW after 16 years. On March 21, 2007, Noland left WNYW-TV. The following week, Noland was replaced by Lynda Lopez.

On April 11, 2007, it was announced that Noland landed a news anchor job at KHOU-TV in Houston, Texas. Noland anchors the 5 p.m. and 10 p.m. newscasts with Greg Hurst. In Houston, Noland is in familiar company. Greg Hurst worked at WABC-TV in New York and she was colleagues with Len Cannon at WNYW in New York.
