Wall $treet Week (W$W) is a respected, long-running investment news and information TV program broadcast weekly on PBS in the United States. It has a host (or hosts) and guest experts participate in discussion on the stock market and focuses on forecasts. The show was created in the 1970s by Louis Rukeyser and was officially titled Wall $treet Week with Louis Rukeyser during the many years he hosted. In June 2002, the show was modified, dropping Rukeyser and changing the name to Wall $treet Week with Fortune. Rukeyser went on to host Louis Rukeyser's Wall Street on CNBC, which is also distributed to PBS stations. W$W is produced by Maryland Public Television.
Wall $treet Week (W$W) was a respected, long-running investment news and information TV program broadcast weekly each Friday on PBS in the United States.
Rukeyser went on to host Louis Rukeyser'sWallStreet on CNBC (cancelled on December 31, 2004 at the request of the show's host himself), which was also distributed to PBS stations.
Wall $treet Week with Fortune, which was hosted by Geoff Colvin and former Fox News business correspondent Karen Gibbs, ended its PBS run on June 24, 2005.
Rukeyser, who hosted "WallStreetWeek" for 32 years, has been trashing the show to anyone who will listen since he was dumped in March in favor of younger hosts and a faster format.
Under the chatty Rukeyser, age 69, the average age of a WallStreetWeek viewer was 62.
Guests on the inaugural episode of WallStreetWeek with Fortune will be former U.S. Secretary of the Treasury Robert Rubin and James Chanos, a bearish analyst who was an early critic of Enron.
