Fox Business Network will launch a new investment program, Wall Street Week, on Friday, March 18.

Co-hosted by FBN contributors Anthony Scaramucci and Gary Kaminsky, the weekly series will air on Fridays at 8 and 8:30 p.m. ET, followed by encore presentations on Saturday and Sunday mornings at both 9 and 9:30 a.m. ET.

Stossel, hosted by FBN’s John Stossel, will move to Fridays at 9 p.m.

Originally hosted by award-winning financial journalist Louis Rukeyser on PBS, Wall Street Week was in many ways the first influential financial news show. It debuted in 1970, and at its peak in the mid-1980s enjoyed more than 6 million viewers.

The Wall Street Week name was resurrected last year by Scaramucci, and landed interviews with high-profile names including former Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke and activist investor Carl Icahn, among others.

Fox Business Network’s adaptation of the show “will bring together Wall Street titans to discuss emerging economic trends with a special focus on educating and empowering long-term investors,” according to a press release.

Scaramucci joined FBN as a contributor in 2014, and also serves as the co-managing partner and founder of SkyBridge Capital, a 10-year-old global investment firm. Prior to founding SkyBridge, Scaramucci co-founded Oscar Capital Management, which was sold to Neuberger Berman in 2001. He was also a vice president in private wealth management at Goldman Sachs & Co.

Kaminsky, who regularly appears on FBN’s Mornings with Maria, recently joined the network as a contributor. Previously, Kaminsky was CNBC’s capital markets editor and a regular contributor to Squawk Box and Squawk on the Street.
