On-air predictions, tracked to the outcome

Hosts, analysts and callers make calls on air every day — rate cuts, reshuffles, title races. We extract the falsifiable ones from the broadcast transcript, wait for the horizon, and score them against public sources. Every call keeps its audio receipt.

Graded means checked against a public source after the check-by date. Verdicts judge the claim, never the person: hosts, guests and callers all count.

The verdict· graded 01 Sept

Eskom announced a profit on 2026-08-31, reporting a second consecutive profitable year with profit after tax of R30.3 billion.

The claim named a specific date, 2026-09-02, but the profit announcement happened two days earlier on 2026-08-31. Because the timing is part of the prediction, this is not a match even though the profit itself did occur.

How this works: predictions are extracted by AI from machine-generated transcripts of live broadcasts (“as heard on air” — transcription errors are possible), and outcomes are resolved against public sources, linked on each card. Speakers are named only when the broadcast itself identifies them. This page records what was said and what happened. The reader poll is audience sentiment, not odds — no money is involved and there is nothing to wager on. Corrections: [email protected].
