Kalshi
The event tracks whether specific topics or names are mentioned during a news broadcast, using the actual aired content as the source of truth. Each topic has its own criteria for resolution based on verbal mentions by hosts or reporters.
All markets resolve based on whether specified terms or phrases are uttered by any host or reporter during the ABC World News Tonight with David Muir broadcast. Resolution relies primarily on video footage of the broadcast, with transcripts used as a secondary source if video review yields no consensus among Kalshi employees. The exact word, phrase, or their plural/possessive forms must appear; grammatical variations do not count. Only content within the original broadcast counts, excluding advertisements but including promotional segments. If the broadcast is postponed and rescheduled within 14 calendar days by the following day's end, markets remain open. The entire broadcast content is considered for each market's resolution.
Compared to analyst forecasts, this market’s odds reflect aggregated trader sentiment rather than expert predictions. Where analysts may highlight political or economic angles, the probability curve here is shaped by crowd-driven speculation. Differences between this market and traditional polls often emerge when event uncertainty is high, making real-time price shifts a valuable contrarian signal.
This market resolves around Sep 5, 2026, with the outcome confirmed once the event is verifiable from credible public sources. The final determination hinges on whether specific reporting language or themes appear in the broadcast, as evaluated against publicly available transcripts and news coverage.
Media narratives, breaking news, and official statements leading up to Sep 5, 2026 can shift this market sharply. High-impact developments that shape news agendas — political announcements, natural disasters, or viral social topics — may cause traders to reassess likely coverage angles. Shifts in public discourse or ABC’s own editorial cues could also drive rapid price changes as participants reprice probabilities.
