Kalshi
The event tracks whether specific keywords or phrases are mentioned by any host or reporter during the ABC World News Tonight broadcast with David Muir. Each market corresponds to a different topic or name, and the outcome depends on the occurrence of the exact phrase during the live broadcast.
The event consists of multiple markets, each centered on whether a specific phrase or word—such as 'Iran,' 'Trump,' or 'Hurricane'—is mentioned at least the required number of times by any host or reporter during the ABC World News Tonight with David Muir broadcast. Resolution relies primarily on video footage of the broadcast; if video review fails to achieve consensus among Kalshi employees, official transcripts are used as a secondary source. Only content within the original broadcast counts, excluding advertisements but including promotional segments. Each market has a defined payout criterion requiring the exact phrase or its plural/possessive form to be used. If the broadcast is postponed and rescheduled within 14 calendar days, markets remain open. The entire broadcast content is considered for resolution, with no external or additional materials permitted to influence outcomes.
Prediction market odds often offer a different perspective than traditional analyst forecasts. While analysts rely on expert opinion and modeling, this market reflects the collective wisdom of many traders putting their capital at risk. This can lead to odds that diverge from, or converge with, expert predictions depending on information available to the crowd. It’s a fascinating way to see how public perception, as expressed through trading, aligns with or differs from professional analysis regarding the content of ABC World News Tonight.
On Kalshi, this market is priced using a continuous double auction. Traders buy and sell contracts representing different outcomes – in this case, whether specific topics will be mentioned on ABC World News Tonight. The price of each contract reflects the probability of that outcome occurring, as perceived by the market participants. On Kalshi, prices reflect that venue's order book, liquidity, and how traders price the outcome right now. As more traders participate and new information becomes available, these prices will fluctuate, providing a real-time assessment of expectations. The market efficiently incorporates information as traders adjust their positions.
This market resolves around Sep 23, 2026, with the outcome confirmed once the event is verifiable from credible public reporting. Specifically, the resolution will be based on a transcript of the ABC World News Tonight broadcast. Whether a topic was mentioned will be determined by reviewing that transcript. The market will settle to 100 for the outcome(s) that occurred and 0 for those that did not, based on this verification process. Traders should monitor news sources leading up to the resolution date for relevant updates.
Several signals could significantly move this market. Major breaking news events, particularly those related to topics frequently covered on ABC World News Tonight, would likely cause shifts in the odds. Unexpected political developments, economic reports, or international crises could all influence what is discussed on the broadcast. Additionally, statements from key figures or announcements from government agencies could also impact the market. Any information suggesting a higher or lower probability of a specific topic being covered will likely be reflected in trading activity.
