The event tracks whether specific topics or phrases are mentioned during a televised news broadcast. Each market corresponds to a different subject, and resolution depends on whether any host or reporter utters the designated terms during the show.
The event consists of multiple markets, each centered on whether particular terms or phrases are mentioned during the ABC World News Tonight broadcast hosted by David Muir. A market resolves to 'Yes' if any host or reporter uses the exact specified phrase, word, or its plural/possessive form within the live broadcast. Resolution primarily uses video footage; if consensus cannot be reached, official transcripts serve as the fallback. Only content within the original broadcast counts—ads are excluded, but promotional segments included in the broadcast are considered. If the broadcast is postponed and rescheduled within 14 calendar days, markets remain open. All markets share these uniform criteria for verification and resolution.
Prediction market odds often offer a different perspective than traditional analyst forecasts. While analysts rely on expert opinion and modeling, this market aggregates the wisdom of the crowd, reflecting a broader range of information and potential scenarios. It’s common to see discrepancies between the two, particularly in rapidly evolving situations. This market’s pricing can be seen as a real-time assessment of probabilities, constantly updated by traders reacting to new information. Comparing these odds to those offered by political or news analysts can reveal interesting insights into public perception and potential biases.
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 market’s collective belief about the probability of that outcome occurring. 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 emerges, the prices adjust accordingly, providing a dynamic and efficient way to forecast the content of the broadcast. The goal is to reflect the true probability of each topic being covered.
This market resolves around Sep 25, 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 ABC World News Tonight broadcast transcript to determine whether the topics listed in the market were mentioned. The determination will be made by reviewing the official transcript and verifying against credible public sources. The market will settle to 100 for any outcome that occurred and 0 for any that did not, based on this verified information.
Several signals could significantly impact this market. Major breaking news events, particularly those related to the topics offered in the market, would likely cause substantial shifts in the odds. Unexpected political developments, significant economic data releases, or even viral social media trends could all influence what ABC World News Tonight chooses to cover. Any announcements or statements from key figures related to the potential topics could also move the market. Shifts in public attention, as measured by search trends or media coverage, are also likely to be reflected in the trading activity of this market.
