WONY is located on the State University of New York College At Oneonta campus. WONY's antenna latitude is 42.452N and longitude is 75.064W. The studios are located on the ground floor of Alumni Hall, behind the University Police and underneath the Admissions Office. The main control room of the station ("Studio A") contains the essential on-air equipment: the console, three microphones, CD players, a minidisc player, two turntables, and a computer. Also in Studio A are the various rotations and the main engineering rack. The Music Library houses WONY's collection - at last approximation, it exceeded 12,000 CDs. The Library also doubles as a guest studio, as it is equipped with eight microphone jacks and a headphone amplifier. This is also where live bands play when performing on-air. The old News Studio ("Studio B") is somewhat in limbo. It currently houses the old console, several CD changers, a tape player, two turntables, one computer, and a minidisc player and recorder. The studio is not used for recording since the building of a new News Studio; however, the console is wired to Studio A and could be used as a backup control room. The new News Studio ("Studio C") has been outfitted as a small digital studio. It 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 stations 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.
The station has also partnered with the SUNY Oneonta Meteorology Club to produce hourly weather forecasts.

Famous quotes containing the word physical:
“Dying is something we human beings do continuously, not just at the end of our physical lives on this earth.”
—Elisabeth Kübler-Ross (b. 1926)
“The author’s conviction on this day of New Year is that music begins to atrophy when it departs too far from the dance; that poetry begins to atrophy when it gets too far from music; but this must not be taken as implying that all good music is dance music or all poetry lyric. Bach and Mozart are never too far from physical movement.”
—Ezra Pound (1885–1972)
“The preservation of health is a duty. Few seem conscious that there is such a thing as physical morality.”
—Herbert Spencer (1820–1903)
