We are currently dealing with a power outage this morning. We have till 6:30am est of being on the air till we have no more backed-up power.

We are also planning a planned outage later today at 4pm eastern to replace a connection to our ISP to fix the issues of our connection to our ISP.

We are currently experiencing major internet issues that is causing us to go off the air from time to time with our ISP. Please expect on Saturday afternoon of WRAJ to be off the air as necessary equipment is replaced from our ISP. We apologize for the inconvenience.

WRAJ Internet Radio will soon be one-to-one with new sister site Vidgle (at vidgle.com) by the beginning of the summer. According to company president Anthony Zaragoza, WRAJRadio.com will be moving down the coast from San Francisco to Los Angeles,  getting a new home right in the same room that Vidgle is housed. “We are very excited about this announcement. It will share marketing ideas for both sites.” With this move, visitors on the WRAJ Internet Radio website will be able to watch videos on the station website without going to the Vidgle website. Also, the WRAJ Internet Radio Photo Gallery will be shared with the Vidgle portal, which will also expand the possibility of commenting of the pictures. Currently, there are discussions if the myWRAJ portal should be removed off the site to avoid confusion to typical users; myWRAJ is the current forum system used on the WRAJ Internet Radio website.
“WRAJ Internet Radio already reaches around a million unique users each month, while Vidgle is climbing up the ladder with nearly 4,000 hits in April alone.”

The host of WRAJ’s annual live Christmas Special has decided to come back and be apart of the broadcasting staff once again. Jimmy, a contributing staff member since 2002, is returning on the radio station with a new live show.

Anthony and Jimmy have been going back and forth with different ideas for months now, trying to plan for a new addition for the WRAJ programming schedule.

“It’s been a while since I’ve been apart of the broadcasting lineup for the station, and I’m really looking forward to having a new show. The last time I was apart of a live show was back in 2005 with Ant, so it should be a good experience ‘cause it’s been so long,” Jimmy said during a Friday meeting.

The only information that is being released is that the new live show will consist of music from the Jazz genre, like the “Evening Talk Show” back in 2002. “Its good to see Jimmy back on a weekly show again, with the format he had years ago,” Anthony says.
Plans are currently underway for Jimmy’s return and is aiming to do the first broadcast in late Spring or early Summer of this year. More details to come.

VIDLGE: I-CON is only a day away and we are so excited for it, just like the other 7,000 attendees planning to visit this weekend. I-CON, shorten for Island-Convention, is a sci-fi convention that takes place every early spring at Stony Brook University on Long Island. The doors open Friday at 6PM at the Sports Complex of the campus and is open till 2am on Friday and Saturday nights.

With rumors lurking around the internet that this year’s I-CON is the last one. According to our reports we’ve published in the blog, this will be the last year that I-CON will be at Stony Brook University. Starting next year, it will be moved to sister school Suffolk County Community College in Brentwood for a year or two. We will attempt to get an interview with I-CON staff this weekend to discuss the future of I-CON because of the rumors being published on the internet.

Check back in the blog and in the Con Goer video gallery and the Con Goer blog. We’ll see you there!
