“Wall Street Week” goes on hiatus, says “big news” coming

“Wall Street Week,” a weekly television show relaunched in 2015 by investor Anthony Scaramucci, is going on a brief hiatus after 39 shows but says it has “big news” pending.

Business Insider reported in September that the show was near a global distribution deal. The first show had aired April 19.

Hosted by investment firm SkyBridge Capital  founder Scaramucci and developed by a SkyBridge capital affiliate, “Wall Street Week” has been airing 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 is also streamed for global viewing on WallStreetWeek.com.

Originally hosted by Louis Rukeyser, “Wall Street Week” aired 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 the show from Maryland Public Television.
