Kalshi
The event tracks whether specific phrases are mentioned during a news broadcast, using the entire original broadcast content for verification. Each phrase's occurrence is evaluated against strict criteria involving exact wording and broadcast boundaries.
All markets share a unified resolution framework centered on ABC World News Tonight with David Muir broadcasts. A market resolves to 'Yes' if any host or reporter utters the designated phrase — whether singularly, in plural form, or as part of a proper noun phrase — during the live broadcast or stream. Resolution primarily uses video footage; if Kalshi employees cannot reach consensus, official internal and external transcripts serve as secondary verification sources. Only content within the original broadcast counts, excluding advertisements but including promotional segments. Postponements announced within one calendar day for rescheduling within 14 days keep markets open. The entire broadcast content forms the evaluation basis for all phrase-occurrence determinations.
Compared to analyst forecasts, prediction market odds for this market often reflect a blend of expert expectations and crowd sentiment. Analysts may focus on historical trends and policy implications, while traders react instantly to breaking news and shifting public opinion. The gap between these views can widen when major stories emerge, making this market a live barometer of real-time expectations.
This market resolves around Aug 15, 2026, with the outcome confirmed once the event is verifiable from credible public sources. The final determination will hinge on exact wording and emphasis used by reporters during the broadcast, as captured by neutral third-party reviews of the recorded coverage.
Market-moving signals include major news releases, political developments, or economic data that shape reporter priorities. Statements from key figures, emerging scandals, or unexpected global events can also shift trader expectations quickly. Any development that alters the likely focus of ABC World News Tonight coverage may cause rapid price adjustments before settlement.
