- Description
- Episode Description
- This episode examines the Reagan administration plans for enterprise zones that might help blighted areas of major cities become economically successful. In Chicago, interviews and discussion involve local business leaders, politicians, and regular citizens.
- Series Description
- "The Nightly Business Report is a network-style half-hour news program that gives the major business and economic news of the day, plus one or more of a variety of special segments: Focus (in-depth stories), On the Record (four-to-five-minute interviews with major economic figures), and The Business of America (lighter, slice-of-business-life stories). By intent, it is rare for all these segments to occur in any single program. Each program does, however, contain 90 seconds of material (preceded and followed by five-second bumpers) that each individual local station may drop at its discretion and replace with local business information. Each program also contains a commentary by a nationally known economist (Monday: Alan Greenspan; Tuesday: Arthur Laffer; Wednesday: Adam Smith; Thursday: Dan Lundberg or William Wolman; Friday: Charles Schultze or Alfred Kahn). On market holidays such as 11/26/81 (Thanksgiving Day), we vary our usual format to spend an entire program (except for the commentary) focusing on a single major issue: airlines, banking, etc. The focus on 11/26/81 was on the Reagan administration's plans for enterprise zones to revive blighted inner cities."--1981 Peabody Awards entry form.
