Krakower leaving CNBC to restart “Wall Street Week”

Long time CNBC executive Susan Krakower is leaving CNBC to restart iconic finance show ‘Wall Street Week’ with Skybridge Capital, reports Julia LaRoche of Business Insider.

LaRoche writes, “Krawkower is best known for developing shows like ‘Fast Money’ and ‘Mad Money’. She has been at CNBC since 2002.”Skybridge is a fund of funds and hedge fund advisory firm helmed by Anthony Scaramucci.

“It is unclear how this new iteration of ‘Wall Street Week’ will be distributed — on television or digitally. Back when the show first debuted in 1970 it was produced by Maryland Public Television, and then started airing on PBS nation wide in 1972. The show ran until 2005.”
