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!

The latest announcement about Vidgle is continuing to spread the excitement of Jenthony’s newest product, Vidgle. On Sunday, Anthony announced that users of the iPhone and iPod Touch will be able to watch Vidgle videos right through the device’s web-browser so users don’t have to sync the podcast feed on the user’s computer. “This was made possible because of our second video file, which will be a M4V file, along with the FLV file for basic usage.” iPhone and Touch users may be aware that Flash is not supported in the device’s Safari browser, however a Quicktime object will be placed in the page containing the video so that users will be able to watch the videos on the go. “Our original plan was that users, including iPhone and Touch users, will need to sync our podcast feed to their computer, obviously now that has changed.”

Anthony has also announced that the podcast feed file type will be M4V, which has been popular by podcasters so that podcasts can work on iPods and AppleTVs. The video resolution is continuing to be at EDTV widescreen level at 854×480 pixels. The site is continuing to be structured, Anthony added the message board launch will be February 21.

We have resolved our downtime we had earlier on February 5. We are now back on the air since 7:30PM.

Our station is down because our streaming server has crashed. We are currently taking care of the issue now!
