WUSA is the Colorband Television affiliate for Washington, DC. It is owned by Colorband Television Stations.
== History ==
WUSA was originally launched in 1976 to act as a kind of pop-up for that year's bicentennial celebrations. The owner of the station, who's name has been lost to time, soon realized that it'd be costly to get his setup taken down, and so the station kept airing. It became a channel that aired round the block local programming about the government, the people in the town, and the mayor. The building wasn't leased, and the setup wasn't rented, so it ran for quite a while. It also helped that the owner seemed to care about the programs about as much as the people cared about the town. By 1980, the station was branded as "America 42" and was one of the most successful independent stations in Washington, D.C.
Then the owner decided to shift the station to an all-government, all the time format. Needless to say, this did not go well. There were protests, where it was also found out he hadn't paid his taxes in 5 years. By the end of the whole debacle, he was living in the transmission room. The station manager took control of the station, built a house for the owner, and, in 1985, set WUSA's format back to America 42, in a move that everyone in Washington loved. This era passed with nothing in particular happening and stopped in 1995, when Colorband paid a very large sum of money to buy out WUSA, and they agreed to it.
Nothing much has happened since. WUSA makes Red Triangle for the network.
