The event tracks whether specific phrases or names are mentioned during a televised news broadcast. Each market corresponds to a different potential topic or name, and the outcome depends on whether that exact term is spoken by any host or reporter during the show.
All markets share a unified resolution framework centered on the live broadcast of ABC World News Tonight with David Muir. A market resolves to 'Yes' if any host or reporter utters the exact specified phrase, word, or its plural/possessive form during the broadcast. Resolution primarily relies on video footage; if consensus cannot be reached, official transcripts are used. Only content within the original broadcast counts—advertisements are excluded, but promotional segments are included. Postponements announced within one calendar day for rescheduling within 14 days keep markets open. The entire broadcast content is considered for each market's verification.
Compared to traditional analyst forecasts or polls, this market aggregates the wisdom of the crowd, reflecting a broader range of perspectives and real-time information. While analysts may offer opinions based on specific expertise, the prices in this market are driven by actual wagers, incentivizing participants to be as accurate as possible. This often leads to a more dynamic and responsive assessment of potential outcomes regarding what will be discussed on ABC World News Tonight. It’s a different way to gauge expectations, moving beyond subjective opinions to quantifiable probabilities.
On Kalshi, this market is priced using a continuous double auction, meaning traders buy and sell contracts representing different outcomes. The price of a contract reflects the market's assessment of the probability of that outcome occurring. As more traders participate, the prices adjust to reflect the collective intelligence of the crowd. On Kalshi, prices reflect that venue's order book, liquidity, and how traders price the outcome right now. The market’s depth and volume indicate the level of confidence traders have in their predictions about the content of ABC World News Tonight, and the prices can fluctuate rapidly based on breaking news or changing perceptions.
This market resolves around Sep 16, 2026, with the outcome confirmed once the event is verifiable from credible public reporting. Specifically, the resolution will be based on a review of the transcript of ABC World News Tonight to determine whether the topics in this market were mentioned during the broadcast. The outcome will be determined by whether the specified topics were covered, and the market will settle accordingly. Traders should monitor news sources leading up to the resolution date to stay informed about potential catalysts.
Several signals could significantly impact this market. Major breaking news events, particularly those related to the topics covered in the market, would likely cause substantial price movements. Unexpected statements from key figures, significant policy announcements, or shifts in public opinion could all influence the perceived likelihood of certain topics being discussed on ABC World News Tonight. Additionally, the release of official reports or data related to these topics could also drive trading activity and change the odds in this market.
