  • 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...

  • My mother and I always though Louis Rukeyser looked like George Washington!

  • 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.

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

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

  • @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 always thought Louis Rukeyser was a strange looking man.

  • The MacNeil/Lehrer Report became The MacNeil/Lehrer NewsHour in 1983.

  • 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.

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