CNN has entered into a notable partnership with prediction market operator Kalshi, opening the door to a new era in the media industry. Through this agreement, CNN will integrate Kalshi’s real-time prediction market data into its live broadcasts and will use a special ticker that displays market-based probabilities. This means viewers will be able to see real-time market expectations for political, economic, and cultural developments directly on CNN’s screen.
Kalshi Raises $1 Billion at an $11 Billion Valuation
The announcement of the partnership came right after Kalshi completed a massive funding round. The company secured $1 billion in investment led by Paradigm, raising its valuation to $11 billion. The strong investor interest demonstrates that prediction markets are becoming an increasingly important data source for both finance and media.
Kalshi stands out as a prediction market protocol that prices expectations for future events and derives probabilities based on trading volume. Thanks to this structure, CNN will be able to analyze public sentiment not only through polls and expert commentary, but also through real-time market reactions.
Real-Time Kalshi-Powered Prediction Ticker Coming to CNN Broadcasts
Under the agreement, CNN will use Kalshi’s probability data in its broadcast graphics and present real-time predictions to viewers via a special live ticker. This integration will set a new standard for tracking U.S. elections, economic data, global developments, and major social events.
CNN’s chief data analyst Harry Enten will be at the center of this transformation. Enten will use Kalshi’s probability data both on-air and in news analysis to reinforce data-driven insights into political and cultural events.
Kalshi stated: “This partnership is designed to show how markets view future events in real time. Viewers will receive a stronger signal to understand emerging trends instantly.”
CNN Newsroom Gains Real-Time Access to Market Data
The agreement is not limited to broadcasting. CNN’s editorial, data, and production teams will now have full access to Kalshi’s real-time data feed. This access will be used across various areas, from preparing news graphics and conducting election analyses, to producing special reports and live broadcast scripts. CNN notes that this integration will help establish event-based market expectations as a new reference point in journalism, contributing to richer content production.
Prediction Markets Enter Mainstream Media
The partnership between CNN and Kalshi marks the first time prediction market data will be used by mainstream media in such a comprehensive way. The inclusion of market-based probabilities in news flow is expected to both enrich viewer access to information and strengthen the media industry’s data-driven approach to journalism.
