- It's been a while. You look good.
Overview[]
Jane Valderamma is the News Reporter of Stilwater's local channel, Channel 6.
Saints Row[]
Jane is a radio news reporter, who delivers on-site reports. Jack Armstrong crosses to Jane 6 times, including for the final news report of the game.[5]
Saints Row 2[]
Jane is both a TV and radio news reporter.
She reports on Johnny Gat's trial,[6] interviewing Troy Bradshaw after Playa, Johnny and Pierce rob Poseidon's Palace,[7] and then again after Troy Bradshaw is forced by Dane Vogel to free several Brotherhood members from incarceration.[8]
To make people more focused on her during her report, she pays Playa to cause mayhem in various neighborhoods throughout the city.[9] She has loathing for a lawyer named Zach Johnson, whom she says stole her footage time.
Saints Row 2: Ultor Exposed[]
She is prominent in the Saints Row 2 DLC Ultor Exposed in which Playa contacts her in doing an interview with Tera. Both Playa and Tera go through a lot to get the bodies[10] and chemicals[11] as proof to Ultor's wrongdoings. But, when time to do the interview, Jane twists Tera's words to make it look like she is the one responsible, humiliating Tera on TV. Once the cameras stop rolling, Jane gives a subtle hint that she was paid off[Reference needed] and states her reasons that Ultor would've buried the story regardless and that Tera can try her little revenge without them. A furious Tera vows she will.[12]
Saints Row: The Third[]
Though looking remarkably different, Jane's new job in Steelport is basically the same as her job in Stilwater, reporting on the aftermath of Playa's mayhem and destruction during missions, although this time far more frequently, reporting her "regular scheduled radio programming" after every mission completed by Playa.
Jane is present when Cyrus Temple offers to answers questions on the newly arrived STAG in Steelport. He goes on to tell the story of the death of Jessica[13] in order to sway Jane, who questions whether STAG's presence would truly make Steelport's citizens safer.[4]
Jane later gives an interview to Luchadores leader Killbane who set up the 3rd Street Saints over the destruction of the Hughes Memorial Bridge in Stilwater.[14] Playa and Shaundi arrives to kill Killbane, and Jane tells them that Killbane has run off and anxiously asks Playa if they are mad about her interviewing Killbane.[3]
Saints Row IV[]
Jane is abducted by Zinyak before the Earth is destroyed, and serves as the DJ for 97.6 K12 FM within The Simulation. She is also featured on Klassic 102.4 when made to read from Shakespeare by Zinyak, which she delivers in the same tone as her newscasts.
Enter the Dominatrix[]
Jane interviews the Saints on the cancelled DLC for Saints Row: The Third called Enter the Dominatrix and also discussing what was cut from the final product of Saints Row IV.
Newscasts[]
In Saints Row, Saints Row 2 and Saints Row: The Third, Valderamma gives news reports on the radio after completing certain missions, often summarizing the events of them. In the latter game, her newscasts tend to be around 45 seconds long and play immediately after getting into a vehicle following completion of a mission. Certain newscasts are followed by adverts for episodes of Nyte Blayde. Unlike Saints Row 2, Valderamma's newscasts play over the Mixtape, although changing the radio station back and forth stops it.

- I'm standing here now outside the courthouse, and it is a media circus. Every major news outlet is here hoping to be the first to cover the result of this historic trial. While there has been speculation that Troy's failure to appear as a witness is testiment[sic] to his loyalty to his gangland roots, others claim that it is nothing short of naked fear for his life that keeps him from entering the same room as Johnny Gat. One thing is for sure, the saga that has been the Johnny Gat trial...is coming to a close. I'm Jane Valdaramma[sic] , channel 6 news.

- Jack Armstrong: "This just in to the newsroom, a deadly explosion has rocked the waterfront. Our Jane Valderamma is already at the scene."
Jane Valderamma: "Jack, waterfront residents and the press, who were setting up their cameras and microphones to cover the gala fund-raiser scheduled for mayoral candidate's Hughes' campaign, were treated to an amazing site a few moments ago as the yacht registered to the alderman exploded in a shower of brass and mahogany. We were a safe distance away so no one here was injured, as far as we can tell, but we have no word as to who - if anyone - was actually aboard. We don't know how this happened, why this happened, or even who was on the boat - if anyone - as no survivors have been located. I was inside the press tent when it happened, but witnesses outside say that the peaceful, serene evening was suddenly punctured by a viscous explosion that not only reduced the alderman's yacht to a pile of floating debris, but knocked out windows and swamped smaller boats throughout the marina. Jack."
Jack Armstrong: "Jane, while you were giving that report we attempted to contact Alderman Hughes' press secretary, and there was no answer. Do we know where the alderman is?"
Jane Valderamma: "No we do not, Jack. I've asked around and no one from the press cord noticed any official movement on the boat, as it's early in the evening and the event was not scheduled to begin for another couple of hours."
Jack Armstrong: "Do we know if this was an accident, or yet another attempt on the life of a public official?"
Jane Valderamma: "Jack, we don't have any definitive answers on that, and with almost no details emerging yet, we still do not know if this was something as silly as a galley or a fuel tank explosion... but in the light of recent events, we cannot rule out the possibility that this was more than just an accident. Reporting live from the waterfront, this is Jane Valderamma. Back to you, Jack."
Jack Armstrong: "Thank you, Jane, and stay dry. Stay tuned as we get more details on this unfolding event, we will bring them to you immediately. In the newsroom, I'm Jack Armstrong."
- Jack Armstrong: "This just in to the newsroom, a deadly explosion has rocked the waterfront. Our Jane Valderamma is already at the scene."
