“Wall Street Week” to change format

“Wall Street Week,” which airs on Bloomberg Television, is changing its format.

In the current series, anchor David Westin will sit with people in finance and economics to discuss the week’s biggest issues on Wall Street. The relaunch uses these conversations to tell stories from around the world of capitalism across business, economics, markets, geopolitics, climate, and technology.

The show will include new long and short-form segments and narratives told through the lens of influential voices in business and finance. The show will continue to feature exclusive interviews with leaders in business and finance, for viewers looking to think more deeply about the world of business, economy, and financial markets.

The program is a reinvention of “Wall Street Week with Louis Rukeyser,” which was created and produced by Maryland Public Television and aired on PBS for over 30 years. Bloomberg relaunched the program in 2020, hosted by Westin.

“We have the luxury of talking with the smartest and most influential minds in business, economics, and finance each week,” said Westin, anchor of Wall Street Week. “Our goal is to provide our audience not just with what they need to know, but what they need to think about.”

The show airs Fridays on Bloomberg Television at 6 p.m. and Sundays at 2 p.m. on 195 PBS stations with World digital channels in markets representing 77% of U.S. TV households.

World is a multi-platform channel that shares the best of public media in news, documentaries and programming.
