WVIZ station ID & Wall Street Week open 1978 

I used to love this show back in the 1980s !!

My father watched this on WEDU Channel 3 in Tampa. R.I.P. Louis Rukeyser.

Thanks for posting. Nice to see all the similar messages of fond memories of one's father, mother, parents watching or recording this.........that's exactly what it reminds me of..... Father used to audio tape the Wall Street Week.

Ahh, this is such a Friday night sound from my childhood, though I grew up near Philadelphia, not Cleveland. My father loooved "Washington Week in Review", and then he and my mother would keep the channel on while this came on afterward. Nothing says "It's Friday night and you're 10 years old quite like the clock chimes and chattering ticker-tape machines as Wall Street Week began...

Along with "Washington Week in Review", Lou and company have headlined my family's weekends growing up here in Central Ohio. I remembering getting all the blankets and pillows off of my bed and bringing them down to the living room to make a nest to sit in while watching.

Before I was born in the year 1998, I never seen programs before on TV and in real life. I was wondering what life in Earth look like before I was born a baby in the late 90s. 😕

My parents used to watch this when I was a child. I always remembered the theme and the scenes of NYC as a kid. Growing up in NYC, it was nice to see something familiar on TV.

Yup. I remember. Loved the theme song.

My father is summoning a messenger at 1:26. The first version I saw was taken down, so it's good I see there's a duplicate copy on here.

And for the record, this particular W$W was entitled "How Now-The Small Investor?" (program #731). I know, because I saw a online copy of this show's transcript.

I know what you mean. In the same way, I think nothing says noontime on Saturdays like seeing Bill Cosby appear and reappear all over a soundstage designed to look like a junkyard while the bass line for Fat Albert begins. 70's memories.

My dad recorded and watched this religiously in our house.

Bob Nurock.. he and my dad were colleagues.

OMG! When the "Wall Street Week" logo separates, look at those glasses that lady has on! WOW! Typical 70's! How times have changed.

Growing up, Lewis R. looked so much like the Quaker oat man, that I always thought oatmeal had something to do with wall street, or that his show had something to do with quaker oats. And it does, but somehow not in the way I thought.

love Louis R micker ink spelling of the programs title letters.

The announcer stumbles at 00:53. The MacNeill -uh- Lehrer Report. I wondered why they used that futuristic font in the WSW opening when the camera pans down the NY Stock Exchange. It seemed a little out of place. It was the same font for the jersey numbers in the 1975 movie Rollerball.

i grew up in massachusetts, wall street week was on 830 on friday on wgbh.

@Stratman78 I think they used that opening well into the 90's although it looks like it dates back to at least 1970 or 1971.

I knew I could find it

I don't really remember this show too much, other than that crazy as hell orchestra music.

Louis's hair oh god!

Does anybody know who v/o the WVIZ Station ID?

1:15 OH THAT'S THA SHIT

Wviz... / PBS Kids Station ID (2006 WGTE-TV)

Funny. I wonder if they called his hairstyle a "Rukeyser"?

I always thought Louis Rukeyser was a strange looking man.

1966-1982.... the Dow very stagnant. Those years must have been very frustrating for many investors.
