I'm afraid I no longer know what CONUS stands for, but it's a satellite
television news service with a large Washington operation. It provides
much of the video used by local stations.

Since the Washington stations shoot their own local video, D.C.-area
residents rarely see CONUS tape, but if you live out in the real world,
great chunks of the Washington footage you see will have come from CONUS.
