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.

The verdict· graded 21 Aug

CPUT’s evacuation happened amid violent unrest, with reports of torched buildings, an arson attack, and students ordered out of residences.

The claim said the evacuation would not involve violent scenes, but the outcome says it did happen amid violent unrest, including torched buildings and an arson attack. That directly contradicts the prediction.

The verdict· graded 17 Aug· weaker evidence

Reports from July 2026 described only partial Pikitup depot disruptions, and no reliable source confirmed that all depots were closed on 2026-08-14.

The claim said all Pick It Up depots would close on 2026-08-14, but the reports only showed partial depot disruptions and never confirmed a full shutdown on that date. That means the specific “all depots closed” prediction did not come true.

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].
