Wall $treet Week

From Free net encyclopedia

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. It had a host (or hosts) and guest experts participating in discussions on the stock market and focused on forecasts. This had been one of the most remarkable modified versions of the series since the airing of the 1971 pilot. The entire series transmitted on January 7, 1972, was created 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 $treet Week with Fortune. Rukeyser went on to host Louis Rukeyser's Wall Street on CNBC (cancelled on December 31, 2004 at the request of the show's host himself), which was also distributed to PBS stations. W$W was produced by Maryland Public Television. 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.
