Kalshi
During a nightly news broadcast, reporters and hosts discuss various current events and stories. The focus is on whether specific keywords or phrases are mentioned throughout the entire program, including any promotional segments but excluding advertisements.
The event evaluates whether certain specified terms or phrases are uttered by any host or reporter during the ABC World News Tonight with David Muir broadcast. Each market corresponds to a unique term or phrase, and the market resolves to 'Yes' if that specific term or phrase (including its plural or possessive forms) is used at least once during the live broadcast. Resolution primarily uses video footage of the broadcast; if a consensus cannot be reached, official transcripts are consulted. Only content within the original broadcast counts—advertisements are excluded, but promotional content aired during the show is included. If the broadcast is postponed and rescheduled within 14 calendar days, markets remain open. The evaluation encompasses the entire broadcast content for each market's specified term or phrase.
Generally, prediction market odds represent the wisdom of the crowd, reflecting a broader range of perspectives than traditional analyst forecasts. While analysts often rely on specific models and assumptions, this market incorporates the collective judgment of many individuals. If analysts predict a high probability of certain topics appearing on ABC World News Tonight, we would expect to see corresponding higher probabilities reflected in the odds on Kalshi. However, discrepancies can occur, potentially signaling areas where the market perceives information differently than experts do.
On Kalshi, this market is priced through a continuous double auction, meaning traders buy and sell contracts representing different outcomes. The price of each contract reflects the market’s current expectation of that outcome’s probability. As more traders participate and new information emerges, the prices adjust accordingly. On Kalshi, prices reflect that venue's order book, liquidity, and how traders price the outcome right now. The higher the demand for a contract, the higher its price, and vice versa. This dynamic pricing mechanism ensures that the market odds are constantly updated to reflect the latest insights.
This market resolves around Sep 23, 2026, with the outcome confirmed once the event is verifiable from credible public reporting.

The market will determine whether the topics listed were explicitly mentioned during the program. The outcome is determined by objective verification against publicly available sources, ensuring a transparent and impartial resolution process for this market.
Several factors could influence the odds in this market.
