OWINGS MILLS, Md. (CBS.MW) -- Maryland Public Broadcasting announced plans to replace its long-running "Wall Street Week with Louis Rukeyser" program with a show co-produced with Fortune magazine.

The new show will be called "Wall Street Week with Fortune."

Rukeyser, 69, has hosted the Friday night show since 1970. His contract expires at the end of June.

Rukeyser told CBS.MarketWatch.com he was "blindsided" on Wednesday by Maryland Public Television, producer of the show. He was told of changes it wanted to make to the program, and was offered the role of senior commentator. "I just decided I didn't want to work with these people," Rukeyser said.

Always like Luis. Witty guy.
