“Wall Street Week” moves to Fox Business Network

“Wall Street Week,” which was resurrected in 2015 by investor Anthony Scaramucci, is becoming a regular show on Fox Business Network.

The show will appear on Fridays beginning March 18 at 8 p.m. It will re-air on Saturday and Sunday mornings at 9 a.m. and 9:30 a.m. John Stossel’s show will move to 9 p.m. on Friday.

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 Capital  founder Scaramucci bought the rights to the show and had it 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.

Scaramucci joined Fox Business as a contributor in 2014. Prior to founding SkyBridge, Scaramucci co-founded Oscar Capital Management, which was sold to Neuberger Berman in 2001. He was also a vice president in Private Wealth Management at Goldman Sachs & Co. He holds a B.A. in Economics from Tufts University and a J.D. from Harvard Law School.

The show will be co-hosted by Gary Kaminsky, who regularly appears on “Mornings with Maria” on Fox Business and recently joined the network as a contributor. Previously, Kaminsky was CNBC’s capital markets editor and a regular contributor to “Squawk Box” and “Squawk on the Street.” He was also one of the original guest hosts of “Squawk Box.”
