This event tracks whether specific keywords or phrases are mentioned during a scheduled news broadcast. The outcome depends on the content of the live broadcast, with resolution based on video or transcript analysis.
All markets resolve based on whether any host or reporter during the ABC World News Tonight broadcast on October 5, 2026 mentions specified keywords or phrases. The exact phrase, or its plural/possessive form, must be used for a market to resolve as Yes. Resolution primarily uses video of the broadcast; if consensus cannot be reached, official transcripts are used. Promotional content within the broadcast counts, but advertisements do not. If the broadcast is postponed and rescheduled within 14 calendar days, markets remain open. The entire original broadcast content is considered for resolution.
Comparing prediction market odds to analyst forecasts reveals interesting insights into collective wisdom versus expert opinion. Often, this market demonstrates a different perspective than traditional polls or media punditry. While analysts might focus on likely narratives, the market aggregates the views of many individuals, potentially identifying overlooked possibilities or quantifying the probability of unexpected events. The current implied probabilities in this market reflect a diverse range of expectations, offering a unique contrast to the more concentrated views often found in conventional forecasting. It's a way to see what 'the crowd' believes, versus what experts predict.
This market resolves around Oct 19, 2026, with the outcome confirmed once the event is verifiable from credible public reporting.

The outcome is determined by objective verification against a publicly available source, ensuring a transparent and impartial resolution process. The total volume traded in this market is currently $115,825.
