Not content with just award shows, sporting events, and Substacks<\/a>, prediction markets are coming for Fox News. According to The Hollywood Reporter<\/a>, Kalshi, the biggest of these platforms, has landed a major deal with the Fox Corporation and will bring its prediction markets to Fox News, Fox Business Network, Fox One, and Fox Weather. The deal is similar to ones Kalshi has with CNN and CNBC, which brings the service to the screen so viewers can see just how likely it is that NASA will say the word \u201coxygen\u201d during a press conference on Artemis II, which is a real thing you can bet on<\/a>, as of this writing. However, the Kalshi addition is being framed not as a gambling opportunity but simply useful data, though not useful enough for Fox News to want to replace its own election polling apparatus.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cMore people are watching Kalshi\u2019s forecasts than trading them, which says a lot: our data effectively complements news and polls,\u201d Kalshi CEO Tarek Mansour said in a statement, per THR. \u201cAs misinformation grows more common, Kalshi offers accurate, unbiased data to help people better understand what\u2019s going on in the world.\u201d <\/p>\n

Of course, this \u201caccurate, unbiased data\u201d can be fairly easily manipulated and abused (allegedly!<\/a>). Even at its best, the information is still basically just educated guessing and not necessarily reflective of reality. Kalshi\u2019s markets<\/a> spent the first two months of 2026 pretty certain that Timoth\u00e9e Chalamet would win the Oscar for Best Actor, which, of course, did not happen. Was it accurate as of January 12 at 8 pm to say that Chalamet had a 78.2% chance of winning? Perhaps, but ultimately it\u2019s not particularly useful information. Then again, those looking for useful information probably won\u2019t be watching Fox News, anyway. But if you\u2019re looking to \u201ccreate a tradable asset out of any difference in opinion,\u201d as Mansour said<\/a> of his company\u2019s plan last year, you\u2019ve come to the perfect place.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Not content with just award shows, sporting events, and Substacks, prediction markets are coming for Fox News.
