The broadcast will be analyzed to determine whether specific key terms are mentioned by any host or reporter during the show. Each term has predefined criteria for resolution based on exact phrasing and usage context.
All markets resolve based on whether specified exact phrases or their variants are uttered by any host or reporter during the ABC World News Tonight with David Muir broadcast. Resolution primarily uses video footage, with transcripts serving as a backup if consensus cannot be reached. 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. Each market has unique payout triggers tied to specific terms or phrases, requiring precise matches to resolve.
Comparing the odds in this market to traditional analyst forecasts reveals how collective prediction differs from expert opinion. Often, prediction markets can incorporate a wider range of information and perspectives than individual analysts, potentially leading to more accurate forecasts. While analysts might focus on specific political or economic factors, this market reflects the aggregated beliefs of many participants regarding the likelihood of various topics being covered on ABC World News Tonight. This difference in approach can result in notable divergences between market prices and conventional wisdom.
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 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, the prices adjust to reflect the evolving consensus. The market's depth – the volume of contracts available at different price points – indicates the level of confidence traders have in their predictions regarding the content of ABC World News Tonight.
This market resolves around Sep 30, 2026, with the outcome confirmed once the event is verifiable from credible public reporting. Specifically, the outcome will be determined by a review of the transcript of ABC World News Tonight to identify whether the topics traded on in this market were mentioned during the broadcast. The resolution process focuses on objective verification of what was actually said on air, ensuring a transparent and impartial assessment of the market's predictions. The final outcome will then be publicly available.
Several signals could significantly impact this market. Major breaking news events, such as unexpected political developments or natural disasters, would likely shift the probabilities of certain topics being covered. Official statements from government officials or prominent figures could also drive movement, as could significant shifts in public opinion reflected in polls. Furthermore, the release of key economic data or reports could influence the news agenda and, therefore, the prices in this market. Any event that alters the perceived newsworthiness of different topics has the potential to move the market.
