Nielsen updates its Linear TV Top 10 Total Chart on Thursdays, reflecting U.S. TV viewership data from the previous week (Monday-Sunday). This market will resolve according to the number of U.S. viewers (Persons 2+ average total viewers, P2+) of the highest viewed episode of ABC World News Tonight for the Week of August 3 - August 9, as reported on the Linear TV Top 10 Total Chart. This market will resolve based on the first official estimate reported by Nielsen. Any later revisions or retractions will have no bearing on resolution. If the specified show does not appear on the final chart for the specified week, this market will resolve to the lowest bracket. If the data for the specified week is entirely unreleased by 11:59 PM ET on the second Thursday following the specified week, this market will resolve according to the lowest bracket. If the data for the specified week remains partially published (i.e. excluding certain days of the week) by that time, or if only some episodes of ABC World News Tonight appear on the Linear TV Top 10 Total Chart, this market will resolve based on the viewership data available at that point. If the reported number of viewers falls exactly between two brackets, this market will resolve to the higher range bracket. This market will resolve according to Nielsen’s P2+ viewership statistic for the specified week, as reported on the Linear TV Top 10 Total Chart, regardless of any future changes in methodology. If Nielsen ceases to publish the P2+ viewership statistic on the Linear TV Top 10 Total Chart, this market will resolve to the lowest range bracket. The resolution source for this market will be information from Nielsen, specifically their P2+ viewership statistic as reported on the Linear TV Top 10 Total Chart (see: https://www.nielsen.com/data-center/top-ten/#television).Recent Nielsen data for the week of August 3 shows ABC World News Tonight averaging 8.339 million total viewers, consistent with its long-running lead over NBC and CBS, yet individual episode peaks remain uncertain. Major stories including Michigan’s Democratic Senate primary, widespread wildfires and storms, and ongoing national political developments likely drove varying tune-in, with Monday through Thursday broadcasts typically posting the strongest numbers in the 8–9 million range. Without confirmed day-by-day figures or last-minute preemptions, traders see no dominant episode emerging, keeping all viewership brackets from under 7 million to 10 million-plus at equal implied probability. Upcoming final Nielsen releases for the period could quickly shift consensus.
