It started with the hyperkinetic energy of Fox News and ended with the soothing back-and-forth cadence of CSPAN's Book Notes. Yet the inaugural episode of Wall Street Week with Fortune suggests that, as advertised, it is possible to have a thoughtful and watchable financial news program without the puns and punditry of one Louis Rukeyser, the deposed king of the PBS show's original version.
TOPICS: Business/Economy
KEYWORDS: pbs; rukeyser; wallstweek
They must have found out that Rukeyser voted for Bush. LOL

Apparently CNBC is offering Rukeyser's new show to PBS stations that want to carry it instead of W$W. I'd LOOOOVVVVVEEE to know if any stations have taken them up on the offer.
To: Norman Conquest
From the Wall Street Journal 06/25/02 - Worst of all from Fortune's standpoint, about 147 PBS stations, reaching about 61% of all TV homes, have begun airing repeats of Mr. Rukeyser's new CNBC program. CNBC won't let them schedule the show in the 8:30 p.m. time slot, but PBS stations are permitted to run the CNBC show after midnight on Fridays.
