Fox 28: South Bend, Elkhart IN News, Weather, SportsTraci Capellman

Traci brought an extensive reporting background and excellent news judgment to FOX 28 News when she joined the team in January 1996. In fact, her first job here was as a general assignment reporter. She moved to Indianapolis for a brief stint as a FOX reporter there, before returning to Michiana to anchor FOX 28 News.

Originally from Pittsburgh, PA, Traci started her career behind the scenes in Pittsburgh television and radio. Her first on-air job was with the FOX affiliate in Johnstown, PA where she was a reporter and fill-in anchor.

Reporting still is something Traci loves to do. Along with anchoring at FOX 28, she also works on special investigations for the news. She's glad to have more time to dedicate to these in-depth reports, to make sure they stand out. Traci has earned several Associated Press Awards for her work including Best Investigating Reporting, Best Enterprise Reporting, Best Spot News Reporting and Public Affairs/Documentary Reporting.

In 2003, Traci married FOX 28 Morning Co-Host Steve DuVal and they have two daughters, Delaney & Londyn. In her spare time Traci loves spending time with her family as well as watching movies, reading and relaxing at Lake Michigan.

She is an active volunteer with the Make-A-Wish Foundation and gives her time to other organizations like the American Cancer Society, St. Joseph County Humane Society, the Salvation Army and Habitat for Humanity.

Traci co-anchors FOX 28 News at 10 PM with Tom Powell every weeknight.
