Wall Street Week (WSW) is an investment news and information TV program airing Friday nights on the Fox Business Network hosted by SkyBridge Capital founder Anthony Scaramucci and Morgan Stanley Senior Advisor Gary Kaminsky. The original weekly show hosted by Louis Rukeyser aired each Friday evening on PBS in the United States from 1970 to 2002. The program features a host (or hosts) and guest experts participating in discussions related to the financial markets.
The original show, which was created by Anne Truax Darlington and produced by Maryland Public Television (MPT), debuted on the entire PBS network on January 7, 1972 and was officially titled Wall $treet Week with Louis Rukeyser (W$W) during the 32 years he hosted from 1970 to 2002 (the "S" in "Street" was in the shape of a dollar sign).
In June 2002, the show was modified, dropping Rukeyser and changing the name to Wall Street Week with Fortune. Rukeyser went on to host Louis Rukeyser's Wall Street on CNBC (cancelled on December 31, 2004 at Rukeyser's request due to continuing ill health), which was also distributed to PBS stations. Wall Street 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.
Wall Street Week was resurrected in April 2015 by SkyBridge Media LLC, an affiliated entity of global investment firm SkyBridge Capital, which was founded by financier and entrepreneur Anthony Scaramucci. The new "Wall Street Week" features Anthony Scaramucci and Morgan Stanley senior advisor Gary Kaminsky as co-hosts. In March 2016, the show's licensing rights were picked up by Fox Broadcasting Company and it now airs Friday nights at 8 PM ET on the Fox Business Network.
