The broadcast will cover various news stories, and specific mentions of certain topics or names by hosts or reporters will determine the outcomes of several conditions.
All markets are resolved based on whether specific phrases or names are mentioned during the ABC World News Tonight broadcast hosted by David Muir. Each market defines a particular term or phrase that, if spoken by any host or reporter, results in a 'Yes' outcome for that market. Resolution primarily uses video footage of the broadcast; if video review cannot achieve consensus among Kalshi employees, official transcripts are used as a secondary source. Only content included in the original broadcast or stream counts—advertisements are excluded, but promotional content within the broadcast is included. Postponements announced within one calendar day and rescheduled within 14 days keep markets open. The exact word, its plural, or possessive form must be used for a market to resolve to 'Yes'; grammatical variations do not count unless they match the specified criteria.
Compared to traditional analyst forecasts, this market often reflects a more nuanced or real-time view of expectations for the ABC World News Tonight segment. While analysts may issue periodic reports, traders in this market continuously adjust positions based on breaking news, polling data, and media trends. The resulting odds can diverge noticeably from poll averages or expert predictions, especially as new information emerges in the days leading up to Aug 8, 2026.
This market resolves around Aug 8, 2026, with the outcome confirmed once the event is verifiable from credible public sources. The final result will be determined by reviewing the broadcast transcript or authoritative news coverage of that evening’s ABC World News Tonight report, ensuring an objective and transparent resolution process for all participants.
Key signals that could shift odds in this market include major news releases, surprise guest announcements, or developing stories that are likely to feature prominently in the ABC World News Tonight report. Additionally, shifting public sentiment tracked through polls or social media trends may influence trader sentiment, as could competing news coverage from other major networks that affect what topics are highlighted.
