On WSJ’s Take On the Week, co-hosts Gunjan Banerji and Telis Demos start off the show with the latest on the surprise dark horse in AI, DeepSeek, and what the development means for companies like Microsoft and Meta. Then they get into the latest Federal Reserve interest-rate decision and news on the consumer spending front.
Later on the show, the co-hosts dive into the world of sports investing—from the publicly traded Atlanta Braves, and Knicks’ and Rangers’ parent company Madison Square Garden Sports, to private equity’s new role in the NFL—with Chris Marangi, co-chief investment officer of value at Gabelli Funds. They also talk about the rise in popularity of sports betting apps, like DraftKings and FanDuel, and how media deals are reshaping the sports industry.
This is WSJ’s Take On the Week where co-hosts Gunjan Banerji, lead writer for Live Markets, and Telis Demos, Heard on the Street’s banking and money columnist, cut through the noise and dive into markets, the economy and finance—the big trades, key players and business news ahead.
