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.

Vitality, Discovery's global health business, and Google announced in New York on 17 September 2026 that they are bringing the Vitality AI platform to the United States. (Corrected by the desk: the earlier text cited a 2025 London event.)

The claim was that Discovery would launch Vitality AI in New York with Google on 17 September. Google's own press release is datelined New York, 17 September 2026, and announces the platform's launch into the United States with Vitality, which is part of Discovery.

Sizekhaya introduced Multiplay 2 for the National Lottery from 1 September 2026, letting players add two extra numbers to their selection. (Corrected by the desk: the earlier explanation was an undecided draft.)

The claim was that Multiplay 2 would launch on 1 September. Reporting confirms Sizekhaya introduced it, and that it lets players add two numbers to their selection, which is the eight-numbers mechanic the claim described. The reports do not restate the winning-on-six rule in those words.

The verdict· graded 07 Sept

Canal+ publicly confirmed the DStv package restructuring on 7 September 2026, including the new package lineup and rollout date.

The claim was that the public confirmation would happen on Monday, 7 September 2026, and the research notes say it did. The notes identify the event as the confirmation point, not just a preview or leak, so the timing and substance both match.

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].
