Have a question? Our new show is 100% based on getting you answers! Here's how it works

#TheQandA is a new interactive show concept coming to WUSA9 today. If you have questions, our team will go out and get you the answers.

WASHINGTON — #TheQandA debuted at 7 p.m. Wednesday on WUSA9 with your hosts Bruce Johnson, Ariane Datil and Mike Wise.

We're sure you have some questions about what the show is like so in true Q and A spirit, here are some answers to questions that you're sure to have about #TheQandA.

Question 1: What's the show about? 

Answer 1: It starts with questions from viewers like you. 

Want some examples? Here you go: 

  • David Mortlock (NOMA): What is D.C. doing as a leader on climate change? 
  • Terrance Colhoun: How do we adequately take care of those that are being displaced and still keep true to the culture of D.C.?
  • Moe (D.C.): With the cost of living increasing, how can I save more money living in D.C.? 
  • Baily Moon: Why doesn't D.C. extend Metro line hours past 11 p.m.?
  • Seema Reza (NW): How can we preserve, protect and reduce our impact on the Chesapeake Bay?  

Then our team does the research to get you the answer. 

Question 2: How do we send you our questions? 

Answer 2:
