Breanna Fuss joined the Spectrum News 1 team in 2014. She started storytelling for Spectrum News out of the Rochester newsroom, then made the move to Buffalo not long after. Breanna has loved sharing your stories ever since.
This Minneapolis-born journalist is the recipient of a Regional Murrow Award, an AP award and an Emmy nomination. She’s covered a wide range of topics including lake effect snow, seiches, Pope Francis' visit to Philadelphia, the Women's March in Washington, D.C., and even taking a flight with the U.S. Navy's Blue Angels.
While her accolades and thrilling journalistic adventures are something she's very proud of, Breanna's biggest accomplishment is the family she has started in Buffalo. When she's not on-air she's with her husband Jeff, sons Grant and Henry and their dog Barnacle. You'll most likely find them hiking, playing at the park or at the beach. Breanna has truly felt that "Buffalove" and is so happy to call the area home.

As a recent Buffalo convert, Revathi Janaswamy joins Spectrum News 1 excited to give a voice to her newly adopted community.
A New York University graduate who has lived everywhere up and down the east coast from Massachusetts to Maryland, she is most looking forward to meeting everyone in Western New York and getting the opportunity to tell their stories. Revathi is most proud of a story she covered while working in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania, involving a COVID memorial created by a local family to honor more than 500 people lost to the virus by lighting luminaries (bags filled with sand and LED lights).
When not reporting the news, you’ll most likely find her spending quality time with family – her two cats Poe and Rumi. There’s also a good chance she can be found exploring Niagara Falls State Park, watching movies or trying to track down the perfect dish of chicken over rice.
