The Money Wheel was a business news television program aired on weekdays on the CNBC network from its inception in 1989 until 1998. Initially, The Money Wheel covered almost all of the channel's business day hours, airing continuously from 8:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. ET each day. The show's hours were later cut back to 10 a.m. to 12 noon and 2 to 3 p.m. ET as other programs were introduced to the schedule. The show gave viewers the latest market action on Wall Street as the trading day progressed.
The Money Wheel was hosted by many anchors of CNBC, including Ted David, Felicia Taylor, Bill Griffeth, Sue Herera, Ron Insana, Terry Keenan, John Stehr and Kevin McCullough.
Regular segments included Taking Stock where viewers could phone-in and ask the guest analysts' recommendations on certain stocks.
As a result of CNBC's alliance with Dow Jones, the show was renamed Market Watch in the morning and was replaced by an extended Street Signs in the afternoon. At the time, most segments remained the same.
Those were the days
We got lost in our ways
We had more on our minds than the money
Oh such a shame as our dreams slip away
As we work everyday for the money
It's hard to be sensible
When you're untouchable
But to think you're untouchable
Is never sensible
You stop the world
I'll jump off and get the girl
We can be back spinning around T
We'll sit out in the dark with an acoustic guitar
We'll play all the song off Definitely Maybe
It's hard to be sensible
When you're untouchable
But to think you're untouchable
Is never sensible
Work everyday for the money wheel (x8)
Time they have changed
But you still remain the same
We gotta all bow down to the money
Friends come and go
Watch you stall it in the snow
But you can't look bad with the money
Work everyday for the money wheel (x8)
Work everyday for the money wheel (x16)
Those were the days
We got lost in our ways
We had more on our minds than the money
Oh such a shame as our dreams slip away
As we work everyday for the money
Work everyday for the money wheel (x8)
It's hard to be sensible
