Overview

Jane Valderamma is the News Reporter of Stilwater's local channel, Channel 6.

Saints Row

Jane is a radio news reporter.

Saints Row 2

Jane is both a TV and radio news reporter.

She reports on Johnny Gat's trial,^[5] interviewing Troy Bradshaw after The Protagonist, Johnny and Pierce rob Poseidon's Palace,^[6] and then again after Troy Bradshaw is forced by Dane Vogel to free several Brotherhood members from incarceration.^[7]

To make people more focused on her during her report, she pays The Protagonist to cause mayhem in various neighborhoods throughout the city.^[8] 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 The Protagonist contacts her in doing an interview with Tera. Both The Protagonist and Tera go through a lot to get the bodies^[9] and chemicals^[10] 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 offTemplate:Fact 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.^[11]

Saints Row: The Third

Valderama — Jane Valderamma in the mission "Gang Bang" in *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 The Protagonist's mayhem and destruction during missions, although this time far more frequently, reporting her "regular scheduled radio programming" after every mission completed by The Protagonist.

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^[12] 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.^[13] The Protagonist and Shaundi arrives to kill Killbane, and Jane tells them that Killbane has ran off and anxiously asks The Protagonist 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

Main article: Newscasts

In Saints Row (along with Jack Armstrong), 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.
