This event tracks whether David Muir mentions specific words or phrases during the next live broadcast of ABC World News Tonight occurring after July 16th, 2026 at 2:00 PM ET. Resolution is based on video of the broadcast, with official transcripts used as backup if needed.
Resolution is determined by monitoring David Muir's spoken remarks during the live broadcast or stream of ABC World News Tonight. The event encompasses thirteen separate mention-based outcomes: Epstein (any single mention), Iran (three or more mentions), Trump (three or more mentions), Ceasefire (any single mention), ICE (any single mention), AI or Artificial Intelligence (any single mention), New York (any single mention), Election (any single mention), World Cup (any single mention), Afford/Affordable/Affordability (any single mention), Teleprompter (any single mention), Oil/Gas/Gasoline (any single mention), and Earthquake (any single mention). For all outcomes, the exact word or phrase must be used, including plural or possessive forms, though other grammatical inflections are not required. Resolution uses the live broadcast or stream as the primary source; video evidence is the first method of determination, with official internal and external transcripts serving as secondary verification if consensus cannot be reached through video alone. Promotional content aired during the broadcast counts toward resolution, but paid advertisements do not. Only content included in the original broadcast or stream is considered; additional content is excluded.
Prediction market odds reflect real-money trader conviction and aggregate dispersed information across many participants, whereas traditional analyst forecasts rely on expert judgment and historical patterns. This market harnesses collective intelligence to price the likelihood of specific David Muir statements, often capturing nuances that individual analysts might miss. Markets tend to update faster than formal forecasts when new information emerges, making them a dynamic complement to conventional media analysis and polling.
On Kalshi, this market is priced through a continuous order-book mechanism where traders buy and sell shares representing different predicted statements. On Kalshi, prices reflect that venue's order book, liquidity, and how traders price the outcome right now. Each share reflects the market's aggregate belief in the probability of that outcome, with prices ranging from near zero to near one hundred. As traders place bids and offers, the spread tightens or widens based on conviction and available liquidity, allowing participants to enter or exit positions at transparent, real-time rates.
This market resolves around Jul 31, 2026, after the relevant ABC World News Tonight broadcast concludes. The outcome is confirmed once the predicted statement is verified against credible public reporting, including broadcast transcripts and news archives. Resolution hinges on whether David Muir's actual on-air remarks match the specific language or topic outlined in the market's outcome categories, ensuring clarity and fairness for all traders.
Major news developments, geopolitical events, or breaking stories scheduled for coverage on ABC World News Tonight can shift trader expectations about what Muir will discuss. Advance reporting, network editorial decisions, and trending topics across social media and wire services all influence predictions. Additionally, historical patterns in Muir's coverage and recent broadcast themes provide context that traders use to adjust positions. As the broadcast date approaches, real-time news flow and market sentiment become increasingly volatile, creating opportunities for informed traders to capitalize on shifting probabilities.
