Off topic -- Louis Rukeyser Is Removed Early as Host of 'Wall Street Week' [This was not clear to me. But -- who cares ...] March 25, 2002 Louis Rukeyser Is Removed Early as Host of 'Wall Street Week' By DAVID CAY JOHNSTON Louis Rukeyser was removed last night as host of "Wall Street Week With Louis Rukeyser" by the president of Maryland Public Television, Robert J. Schuman. "We were very surprised and saddened that he chose to use his last Friday to air his view of the contract dispute," Mr. Schuman said. Maryland Public Television co-produces the show. Mr. Schuman's remarks came shortly after Mr. Rukeyser complained in an interview yesterday that video and audio clips of his opening commentary were not posted on the program's Web site. "Apparently, the very classy executives at Maryland Public Television were astonished that I would actually level with viewers about what really had happened," he said from his home in Greenwich, Conn. "They didn't understand that leveling with viewers is precisely what I have done for 32 years." Mr. Rukeyser, 69, was told last week that he would have a diminished role in future broadcasts. Mr. Rukeyser told his audience that "another weekly program with me as host and commentator will be on television." "The woods are full of smart television executives who are wonderfully excited at the prospect of producing and distributing the new Louis Rukeyser program," he said. Mr. Schuman said that Mr. Rukeyser "had been an excellent host for over the past three decades," but that his remarks were his last. "Louis said goodbye and violated the journalistic standards of the show in promoting his own venture," Mr. Schuman said. Asked why Mr. Rukeyser was allowed to return to the show, given his earlier public comments that he has been treated shabbily, Mr. Schuman said "we had his lawyer's and his assurances that he would proceed in a professional way." Mr. Rukeyser said his commentary was professional. Copyright 2002 The New York Times Company
