A Note to Wall $treet
Viewers:
We here at KTXT-TV
are just as concerned as our viewers over the status of Wall $treet
Week. The program will continue to air Fridays at 7:30 pm until
the premiere of Wall $treet with FORTUNE.
Maryland Public
Television (MPT), the producing station for Wall $treet Week with Louis
Rukeyser, decided to update the program in response to changing
audience viewing patterns and expectations.
On March 21 MPT announced the creation of Wall $treet Week with
FORTUNE, a collaboration between MPT and FORTUNE magazine. Louis
Rukeyser was invited to participate as a senior correspondent. He declined
the offer.
During the March 22
telecast, Mr. Rukeyser discussed his contract dispute with MPT, and
announced the development of his own series for public television.
As a result, MPT terminated Mr. Rukeyser�s affiliation with Wall
$treet Week.
Wall $treet Week
will continue to air in its traditional format with guest hosts until Wall
$treet Week with FORTUNE premieres later this summer. The
program will provide the unique and valuable financial information our
long time viewers have come to expect, and introduce new viewers to the
quality programs featured everyday on KTXT-TV.
The new
Louis Rukeyser's Wall Street now airs on Sundays at 12:30 p.m.
Thank you so much for your patience and continued support of
KTXT-TV.
Michelle Dillard
Manager of Television Programming
