This event tracks whether David Muir mentions specific words or phrases during the next live broadcast of ABC World News Tonight occurring after July 7th, 2026 at 12:30 PM ET. Resolution is based on video of the broadcast, with official transcripts used as backup if needed.
Resolution is determined by monitoring the complete live broadcast or stream of ABC World News Tonight with David Muir occurring after July 7th, 2026 at 12:30 PM ET. The exact phrase or word must be used, including plural or possessive forms, though other grammatical inflections are not required. Proper nouns and noun phrases retain their plural forms. Only content from the original broadcast counts; additional content does not. Promotional material aired during the event is included, but advertisements are excluded. Video of the broadcast serves as the primary resolution source; if consensus cannot be reached through video analysis, internal and external official transcripts of the broadcast will be used. Resolution requires identification of the specified term or phrase as spoken by David Muir during the newscast.
Prediction market odds reflect real-money bets from traders who profit or lose based on accuracy, creating strong incentives for honest price discovery. Analyst forecasts, by contrast, rely on expert judgment and may carry institutional or reputational biases. This market aggregates distributed knowledge from many participants rather than a single analyst's view, often capturing emerging signals faster. However, both approaches have merit: markets excel at synthesizing information, while analysts may offer deeper contextual reasoning about specific outcomes.
On Kalshi, this market is priced through an order-book mechanism where traders buy and sell shares corresponding to different outcomes. On Kalshi, prices reflect that venue's order book, liquidity, and how traders price the outcome right now. Each share represents a claim on a specific statement or phrase, and the current bid-ask spread reflects the market's confidence in that outcome. Prices range from 0 to 100 cents, with higher prices indicating greater perceived likelihood. Traders can place limit or market orders, and the platform matches buyers and sellers in real time to establish equilibrium prices.
This market resolves around Jul 22, 2026, once the broadcast concludes and statements can be verified. The outcome is determined by comparing what Muir actually says during ABC World News Tonight against the specific claims or phrases the market tracks. Resolution relies on credible public reporting and video records of the broadcast to confirm which outcomes occurred. Traders should monitor the broadcast closely and any official platform announcements regarding final settlement.
Market prices may shift based on breaking news, developing stories, or scheduled segments expected during the broadcast. Changes to the news cycle, major announcements from government or institutions, or trending topics could influence which statements Muir is likely to make. Social media discussion, news alerts, and pre-broadcast coverage often signal trader expectations. Additionally, any platform clarifications about outcome definitions or resolution timing could trigger repricing. Traders should stay informed on current events and monitor the broadcast schedule to anticipate volatility.
