Iconic Television Show "Wall Street Week" To Make Its Comeback April 19, 2015
SkyBridge Capital Founder Anthony Scaramucci to Host Sunday Morning Show; "Wall Street Week" to Set the Agenda for the Week Ahead
NEW YORK, Feb. 23, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- SkyBridge Capital, a global investment firm and producer of the SALT Conference, today announced on behalf of its media affiliate that the much anticipated revival of the most powerful name in financial television – "Wall Street Week" – will make its comeback on Sunday, April 19, 2015. Hosted by SkyBridge founder Anthony Scaramucci and developed by a SkyBridge capital affiliate, "Wall Street Week" (WSW) will air for one half-hour every Sunday morning on local television stations in major U.S. markets including New York City, Washington D.C., Chicago and San Francisco. It will also be streamed for global viewing on WallStreetWeek.com.
WSW will feature the world's leading investors, CEOs, policy-makers and other top names in finance as one-on-one guests and in panel discussions to share critical insights on the biggest stories impacting the global capital markets and economies. Originally hosted by Louis Rukeyser, WSW was a must-watch program on PBS each Friday night for 35 years (1970-2005). At its peak, the show aired on more than 300 stations nationwide. SkyBridge announced in May 2014 that it licensed the rights to WSW from Maryland Public Television.
"There is a critical need to better educate Americans about investing and wealth creation, and to bridge the gaps between Washington, Wall Street and Main Street," said Anthony Scaramucci. "We are excited about the unique opportunity to do this through 'Wall Street Week.' While a lot of thought and development has gone into the revival of the program, maintaining the essence and purpose of this iconic show has been almost effortless given it is a natural extension of the programming, personalities and perspectives presented at the firm's SALT Conference each year."
In addition to the show's development team led by SkyBridge's Susan Krakower and Raymond Borelli, both former CNBC executives, WSW's editorial content will be guided by an Advisory Board comprised of prestigious financial industry leaders, including:
- Larry Altman, Portfolio Manager, CBD Trading
- Michael Cahill, Founder & Portfolio Manager, Crispin Capital Management
