Veronica Belmont’s next project will be?
Veronica Belmont, Producer and Host of Mahalo Daily has announced she will leave Mahalo to do two new projects. What these projects will be she did not tell, neither does Jason Calacanis tell us in his blog post about the matter. So it’s our job as her fans to find out. So what do we know?
- She’s leaving mahalo.com
- She will not join TWiT, Leo said “Calacanis priced her out of my market”
- She won’t return to CNET, Lets Face it why would she go back?
- She hates the commute every other week to LA, so it will be in San Francisco.
- Calacanis said:
As many folks found out this week (including myself!) Veronica is moving on to do two new projects, the first is [ TKTKKTKTKTKTK ] and the second is [ TKTKTKTKKT TKTKKT with TKKTKTKTKT ].*
- She wants to do more tech, no real source for this, but in the chatroom Jason Calacanis said she wanted to do more with tech, but mahalo daily is only about 20% about tech.
So what is available? I was thinking Engadget video? Leo said she might do Mainstream media, and other are saying she will go to revision3.com and then N74JW said there were some hints on the latest Tekzilla about a new host (at the beginning). So I started watching. Here’s some things that got said:
- Patrick says: This was a temporary gig for you Mr. Chang.
Roger replies: It’s always a temporary gig - Patrick Says: A new Host has been signed
Roger replies: That could be… Maybe - Patrick Says: Male/Female?
Roger replies: maybe - Patrick Says: Have they been on the show yet? (note by me: They??)
Roger replies: Maybe
And at the end:
- Patrick says: Good show coming up next week? New host coming up next week?
Roger says: Actually the fifth.. uoh I can’t say that can I? - Patrick and Roger agree: Sometime in April
Roger: Could be sooner could be later.
So what does this mean? Roger leaving the show? male/female replacement? Could it be Veronica?
I think it can be Veronica, just some hints I have summed up:

Could this be?
As many folks found out this week (including myself!) Veronica is moving on to do two new projects, the first is [ TKTKKTKTKTKTK ] and the second is Tekzilla with Patrick Norton
If so, why didn’t Revision3.com Tell us about this? and if this is true, what is the ‘First’ Thing? Engadget Video? her own video project at revision3.com?
Something else on Veronica’s Blog:
Tuesday: Tekzilla! I love guest hosting this show, mostly because it means I get to hang out with Patrick and Roger all afternoon.
I’ll let you guy’s take your own conclusion, but please discuss on in the comments area.
Great post! The facts do point to Revision3, but in the end only the Veronica, Patrick and Roger actually know. I would bet some of Calacanis’ money that he knows too. Business Intelligence is something that Jason Calacanis can appreciate and use. I think Leo’s comment about price is probably spot-on. However, the donations and sponsors at TWiT must be good these days…

True, but it’s fun thinking about where she will go, and I think Calacanis does know because he added this to his blogpost:
‘* Note: I’ve been given a preview of her plans, but I can’t say what she’s up to next. Sorry!

Veronica also did a lot of videos for Engadget at CES. If they got traction that AOL saw they would have the cash.
just sayin’

And to add to my last. Going to AOL would poke at Calacanis no end and because of his exit clause from AOL he can’t say anything bad about them.

@Manitook: That’s true, If it pulls visitors AOL come up with the money. But don’t forget there will be more reasons then just money.
