TRIVIA: |
|
[•] |

The
station officially went on the air on January 11,
1949 as WOIC-TV, and began full-time operations on
January 16. It is the fourth-oldest station in the
nation's capital. Its original owner was the
Bamberger Broadcasting Service, a subsidiary of R.H.
Macy and Company, which also owned WOR-AM-FM in New
York City, and was working to put WOR-TV (now
WWOR-TV) on the air at the same time. Nine days
later, WOIC broadcast the first televised American
presidential inaugural address, given by President
Harry S. Truman. |

WUSA-TV began broadcasting digital television in
1999 on WUSA-DT, channel 34. From the start of
transmissions, WUSA-DT carried the HDTV
transmissions of the CBS Television Network in the
network's chosen standard, 1080i. On May 2, 2005 at
11:00PM EDT, WUSA-DT became the first station in the
D.C. Metropolitan Area to broadcast their local
newscasts in HDTV using the 1080i standard. |

Up until 2002,
newscasts were branded under variations of the Eyewitness News brand.
This has been dropped in favor for 9 News or W*USA 9 News. Traces of the
name Eyewitness News remained on various graphics until an all-new set
of graphics by Giant Octopus were introduced in 2005 when WUSA started
broadcasting news in high-definition. |
