The event tracks whether specific topics or names are mentioned during a news broadcast, using the actual aired content as the basis for determination. Each topic or name has its own criteria for resolution, focusing on exact phrase usage during the show.
The event evaluates mentions of various topics or names during the ABC World News Tonight with David Muir broadcast. Each market resolves to Yes if any host or reporter uses the specified phrase, word, or name—exactly as stated, including plural or possessive forms—during the live broadcast. Resolution primarily uses video footage of the broadcast; if consensus cannot be reached, official transcripts are consulted. 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. All markets share these uniform resolution and validation procedures.
Typically, prediction market odds reflect the collective wisdom of a diverse group of traders, often incorporating information and perspectives not immediately captured in traditional analyst forecasts. While analysts may offer opinions based on established models and expertise, this market aggregates real-money bets, incentivizing participants to be as accurate as possible. Therefore, the probabilities seen in this market can sometimes diverge from, or converge with, those offered by political analysts or media commentators regarding what topics will be covered on ABC World News Tonight.
On Kalshi, this market is priced using a continuous double auction, meaning traders buy and sell contracts representing different outcomes. The price of each contract reflects the market's current assessment of the probability of that outcome occurring. As more traders participate and new information becomes available, the prices adjust accordingly. On Kalshi, prices reflect that venue's order book, liquidity, and how traders price the outcome right now. This dynamic pricing mechanism allows for a fluid and responsive market, where prices can change rapidly based on supply and demand for each contract related to the ABC World News Tonight broadcast.
This market resolves around Sep 19, 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 official transcript of ABC World News Tonight to determine which topics were explicitly mentioned during the broadcast. The market will settle to 100 for the outcome(s) that occurred, and 0 for those that did not. Traders should monitor news coverage following the broadcast to understand how the outcome will be determined for this market.
Several factors could influence trading activity in this market. Major breaking news events, particularly those with international implications or significant domestic impact, are likely to shift expectations about the topics covered on ABC World News Tonight. Official statements from government officials, unexpected political developments, or significant economic data releases could also drive movement. Additionally, any pre-broadcast reporting or previews suggesting a particular focus for the evening news could impact the probabilities reflected in this market.
