The broadcast tracks whether specific topics or names are mentioned by hosts or reporters during a news program. Each topic has defined criteria for resolution based on verbal mentions within the show's content.
All markets resolve based on whether specified terms or phrases are uttered by any host or reporter during the ABC World News Tonight broadcast with David Muir. Resolution primarily uses video footage, with transcripts serving as a backup if employees cannot reach consensus. Only content within the original broadcast counts—ads excluded but promotional segments included. Postponements announced within one day for rescheduling within 14 days keep markets open. Each market defines its exact payout criterion, requiring precise phrase matches, including plural or possessive forms where applicable, with grammatical variations excluded. Proper nouns and titles may include plural forms for resolution purposes.
Compared to analyst forecasts, odds from this market often reflect a more immediate, crowd-sourced interpretation of media sentiment. Analysts may incorporate longer-term trends and broader context, while traders in this market focus on short-term phrasing and tone expected during the nightly newscast. Discrepancies can arise when analyst predictions diverge from the rapid, real-time adjustments made by market participants reacting to breaking news.
This market resolves around Aug 12, 2026, with the outcome confirmed once the event is verifiable from credible public sources. Traders will watch the broadcast closely that night to see if the specific phrasing or emphasis matches the market’s defined criteria.
This market could shift based on pre-broadcast news releases, political statements, or emerging stories that reporters might highlight. Any indication of which topics will lead tonight’s coverage, or controversies that gain sudden attention, may influence trader sentiment. Additionally, rival news programs’ teasers and social media trends could affect expectations, as participants adjust odds in real time to reflect the most probable focus of the evening’s newscast.
