WUSA9: CBS News Coverage for the Nation's Capital

WUSA9 is the CBS station serving Washington, D.C., owned by TEGNA. In a city known around the world for national politics, WUSA9 keeps its focus where local viewers live: the neighborhoods of the District and the surrounding communities of Maryland and Northern Virginia that stretch from Bethesda and Silver Spring to Arlington, Alexandria, and out toward the suburbs of Fairfax and Prince George's counties.

That local lens shapes the coverage. Alongside the news that comes with being the nation's capital, WUSA9 reports on breaking stories close to home, the weather that moves through the D.C. area from steamy summer storms and the occasional tropical remnant to the winter systems that can snarl the region with snow and ice, and the traffic that defines the daily grind for anyone who knows the Capital Beltway, I-395, and the crossings over the Potomac.

Viewers also turn to the station for coverage of local government and the issues facing District and suburban neighborhoods, schools and public safety, consumer segments that stand up for residents, and investigative reporting that holds officials to account. Community and human-interest features draw from the diverse corners of the metro, and there is plenty for sports fans in a town that follows its Commanders, Capitals, Wizards, and Nationals, along with the college and high-school teams the area rallies behind.

WUSA9 streams with no subscription and no signup, live and free on NewsPlay. It is an easy way to keep up with Washington, D.C. and the towns and suburbs that surround it, wherever you are watching from.
