  Wall $treet Week - Wikipedia, the free 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.
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.
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.

 Tonight: War of the Wall Street Weeks
Rukeyser, who hosted "Wall Street Week" 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.

Guests on the inaugural episode of “Wall Street Week 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.

These two leading business programs—Louis Rukeyser’s Wall Street (the one with George Washington), and Wall $treet Week with Fortune (the one with the spinning globe) are as interrelated as inflation and interest rates.
Each week, after Colvin kicks off the program, Gibbs recaps the market’s week, and the show moves on to a series of panel interviews, interspersed with often-clever bits of market insight and occasional produced pieces.
To their credit, Wall $treet Week producers had assembled a timely panel including a tax-cut advocate who had just attended the president’s conference on tax cuts, plus two economists, one favoring the tax cut and one opposed.
