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 day of the week on which the edition of ABC World News Tonight with the highest number of U.S. viewers (Persons 2+ average total viewers, P2+) aired during 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 Nielsen reports an entry for ABC World News Tonight without specifying the day of the week on which it aired, that entry will be treated as having aired on Monday. If the specified show does not appear on the final chart for the specified week, this market will resolve to "Monday". If two or more editions of ABC World News Tonight are reported with the same number of viewers, and that figure is the highest reported for the specified week, this market will resolve to the earliest of those days within the Monday-Sunday week. 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 to "Monday". If the data for the specified week remains partially published (i.e. excluding certain days of the week) by that time, this market will resolve based on the viewership data available at that point. 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. 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).Sustained coverage of Middle East tensions, including Israeli strikes in Gaza and U.S.-Iran talks over the Strait of Hormuz, combined with domestic stories like Washington state wildfires, Midwest storms, and the largest measles outbreak in decades, drove steady audience interest across ABC World News Tonight episodes. With no single breakout event creating a clear ratings spike, trader sentiment clusters tightly among weekdays, reflecting consistent viewership patterns rather than dramatic daily swings. Monday holds a slight edge on early-week momentum from initial wildfire and health updates, while Saturday and especially Sunday lag due to typical weekend news consumption drops. Final Nielsen live-plus-same-day adjustments remain the key swing factor for resolution.
