“I can tell you they’ve done a lot, trying to figure out what the name should be,” Valez-Mitchell explained in a video posted to her Facebook page. “We brought in focus groups…we’ve had teams of experts. They’ve finally come up with a new name and I think it’s terrific — Jane! Velez-Mitchell! Yeah! So guess what, I want to see you there, 7pm Eastern! Okay?!”

Velez-Mitchell’s now-eponymous show kicks off Monday at 7 p.m. Watch her announcement below, courtesy of HLN:

    They’re putting her up against Tawana?
    Yippee, now HLN can crush msnbc in the 6:00 time slot too!

    She should be dropped.  She, Nancy, Vinnie.  Obnoxious, overbearing, insulting nitwits.  Entire channel should be fumigated.

    Haha…they are definitely annoying. Used to tolerate Velez until she attacked Jack Hanna during the killer whale fiasco @ Sea World. F’em all.

    Whether it’s NFL play-by-play, politics, celebrities or other current events I definitely favor an anchor who shows lots of enthusiasm … and that’s JVM to a tee.

    But her constant shouting is such a turnoff I haven’t watched her since the aftermath of the very controversial Casey Anthony verdict in Orlando.

    But to be fair to Jane who (unlike Nancy Grace) strikes me as a decent caring person there has been a real dearth of compelling stories that stand out from the run of the mill missing persons cases.

    I wish her well … but I doubt if I will be watching again anytime soon … especially if she keeps yelling at me.  :)
