Kalshi
The event tracks whether specific phrases or names are mentioned during a news broadcast, using the entire original broadcast content for verification. Each market checks for the occurrence of particular terms spoken by any host or reporter.
The event evaluates multiple markets based on whether designated terms or phrases are uttered by any host or reporter during the ABC World News Tonight broadcast hosted by David Muir. Resolution relies primarily on video footage of the broadcast; if video review fails to achieve consensus among Kalshi employees, official internal and external transcripts are used as secondary verification. The analysis considers the exact phrase, its plural or possessive forms, and any proper nouns containing plural nouns. Only content from the original live broadcast or stream is evaluated—additional post-broadcast material is excluded. Promotional segments within the broadcast count toward resolution, whereas advertisements do not. If the broadcast is postponed and rescheduled within 14 calendar days as announced within the following day, all markets remain active. Each market’s outcome hinges solely on the presence or absence of its specific target term within the broadcast’s full content.
Compared to traditional analyst forecasts, prediction market odds for this market often reflect a more immediate, crowd-sourced interpretation of media trends. Analysts may weigh long-term implications or broader context, while traders react to short-term signals and perceived probabilities of specific wording or emphasis. The gap between these views can widen when events or statements appear unexpected, making this market a live barometer of real-time expectations distinct from expert predictions.
This market resolves around Sep 15, 2026, with the outcome confirmed once the broadcast is verifiable from credible public sources. The resolution team reviews the full episode to determine whether the specific statements or themes defined in the market rules were expressed by reporters, ensuring an objective and transparent process.
Key signals that could shift this market include pre-broadcast hints from ABC producers, major news developments on the day of the show, or social media reactions to early segments. Any indication that a reporter is likely to address a controversial or breaking story may cause rapid price adjustments. Additionally, unexpected guest appearances or last-minute script changes could also influence trader sentiment leading up to Sep 15, 2026.
