This event tracks whether specific topics or names are mentioned during a scheduled news broadcast. Each market corresponds to a different keyword or phrase, and resolution depends on whether any host or reporter utters the specified term during the live broadcast.
The event consists of multiple markets, each defined by a unique keyword or phrase. A market resolves to 'Yes' if any host or reporter mentions the exact specified term — including plural or possessive forms — during the ABC World News Tonight broadcast scheduled for September 25, 2026. Resolution primarily uses 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. If the broadcast is postponed and rescheduled within 14 calendar days, all markets remain open. Each market operates independently under these unified guidelines.
Comparing prediction market odds to analyst forecasts reveals interesting insights into collective intelligence. While traditional analysts offer opinions based on expertise and models, this market reflects the wisdom of the crowd, aggregating diverse perspectives. Often, the market can anticipate events or shifts in sentiment more quickly than traditional forecasts, as traders react to new information in real-time. The current pricing in this market suggests a different probability than many publicly available analyst predictions about the topics covered on ABC World News Tonight.
This market resolves around Oct 9, 2026, with the outcome confirmed once the event is verifiable from credible public reporting. Specifically, the resolution will be based on a transcript of ABC World News Tonight, and whether the statements outlined in the market contracts were actually spoken by hosts or reporters during the broadcast. The outcome is determined by a review of the official broadcast transcript, ensuring an objective and verifiable result for this market.
Several signals or events could significantly move this market. Major breaking news stories, particularly those related to the topics frequently covered on ABC World News Tonight, would likely cause shifts in the odds. Unexpected political developments, economic announcements, or international crises could all influence what reporters choose to focus on. Additionally, statements made by prominent figures or the release of important reports could also drive trading activity and alter the probabilities reflected in this market.
