The Library also doubles as a guest studio, as it is equipped with eight microphone jacks and a headphone amplifier. This is where live bands play when performing on-air. As of April 2013, "Studio B" is now being used to record News and Station ID's. The second News Studio ("Studio C"), which was outfitted as a small recording space, is now the Operations Director's workspace, as well as a storage space. Studio B contains an Alesis mixer, a Shure SM7B microphone, and a customized computer. The news is recorded into WAV format using Adobe Audition software. The Operations room houses WONY's important documents, miscellaneous equipment, and webcasting server. The Music Office is a place for the genre directors to work. CDs are sorted and reviewed here, using the station's Macintosh G3. The Sparaco Lounge is a place for DJs and guests to relax. It is named after the first General Manager of WONY, Mr. Gary Sparaco.
