Nielsen updates its Linear TV Top 10 Cable Chart on Thursdays, reflecting U.S. TV viewership data from the previous week (Monday-Sunday). This market will resolve according to the number of U.S. viewers (Persons 2+ average total viewers, P2+) of the highest viewed episode of The Five for the Week of August 17 - August 23, as reported on the Linear TV Top 10 Cable Chart. This market will resolve based on the first official estimate reported by Nielsen. Any later revisions or retractions will have no bearing on resolution. If the specified show does not appear on the final chart for the specified week, this market will resolve to the lowest bracket. If the data for the specified week is entirely unreleased by 11:59 PM ET on the second Thursday following the specified week, this market will resolve according to the lowest bracket. If the data for the specified week remains partially published (i.e. excluding certain days of the week) by that time, or if only some episodes of The Five appear on the Linear TV Top 10 Cable Chart, this market will resolve based on the viewership data available at that point. If the reported number of viewers falls exactly between two brackets, this market will resolve to the higher range bracket. This market will resolve according to Nielsen’s P2+ viewership statistic for the specified week, as reported on the Linear TV Top 10 Cable Chart, regardless of any future changes in methodology. If Nielsen ceases to publish the P2+ viewership statistic on the Linear TV Top 10 Cable Chart, this market will resolve to the lowest range bracket. The resolution source for this market will be information from Nielsen, specifically their P2+ viewership statistic as reported on the Linear TV Top 10 Cable Chart (see: https://www.nielsen.com/data-center/top-ten/#television).

This market resolves around Aug 27, 2026, with the outcome confirmed once the episode viewership numbers for the week are verifiable from credible public reporting. The highest-rated episode by official audience metrics determines the result, closing the market shortly after the week ends and data is publicly released.
Several signals could shift this market before Aug 27, 2026. Key catalysts include last-minute schedule changes for The Five or competing shows, unexpected guest appearances drawing larger audiences, or technical issues affecting viewership measurement. Media coverage highlighting the episode’s topic relevance may also influence expectations. Additionally, any significant ratings release mid-period could cause rapid price adjustments as traders reassess probabilities.
