MBC here means Mauritius Broadcasting Corporation. Its current website separates television guides, radio schedules and local programme collections, and links directly to MBC Play. MBC1 and MBC2 are distinct selections; a numbered channel and a programme collection are different ways to find something to watch.
Use the channel number as part of the name
The broadcaster's institutional history distinguishes general MBC1 from MBC2/Senn Kreol and identifies themed output such as the MBC11 sports service. These names help resolve a recommendation that refers only to MBC.
A programme's language or subject can make one numbered service more relevant, but a broad service description does not establish every edition's language or accessibility options. Keep the title alongside the channel number when asking about a particular broadcast.
Local productions have their own discovery routes
The current MBC site groups local work under Couleurs locales, with routes for documentaries, entertainment, knowledge, culture, lifestyle, faith and public service. It also has a distinct Rodrigues area, including local productions and Zournal Rodrigues.
These categories are useful when the subject is remembered more clearly than the channel. Someone looking for a Rodrigues production or a cultural documentary can begin with that collection, then identify the title and edition rather than opening an arbitrary live channel.
MBC2 has a specific programme guide
The official MBC2 guide includes local-production entries such as Bricolo Ecolo, Son Ladan Mem and Mon Jardin Ma Maison, alongside Rodrigues-labelled material including Plat du Chef. These are examples of the guide's local programme selection.
Check the selected guide and date when planning a viewing session. A title found in one day's listing is evidence of that entry, not a promise that it appears at the same time every day or remains in a permanent online library.
Separate the guide from the player
MBC's current website offers television programme grids and a TV en direct/MBC Play link. Radio grids and live radio are separately identified. This structure helps a viewer choose television rather than arrive at an audio schedule with a similar broadcaster label.
For live viewing, start from that broadcaster-linked MBC Play destination. For a planned programme, first identify the numbered service and dated television listing. For a local subject, use the programme collection to narrow the search before deciding whether live transmission is the right route.
