YTN describes its main Korean service as a24-hour news channel. Its institutional directory separately identifies Science TV for science programming and YTN2 for news-entertainment, alongside related radio, DMB and online publication. Choose the named service and work format: a YTN news report about science is not automatically a complete Science TV programme.
The main news identity is one part of the family
The broadcaster dates its establishment to September1993 and distinguishes its general-news channel from the science and news-entertainment services. Its online and mobile publication extends the range of places where a YTN-branded item can appear. A search result may therefore be a report, a programme entry or an audio item rather than the main continuous television output.
For a bulletin, keep the edition date and any stated time label. For a single report, retain its headline and publisher link. These records can cover the same event while containing different amounts of material, and the report’s individual publication time can differ from the television bulletin that included it.
A science subject does not identify the programme
Imagine that a viewer remembers a demonstration of a new laboratory technique. The first question is whether it appeared in a short general-news report, a longer Science TV programme or a news-entertainment treatment. Keep the scientist, institution or experiment as a search clue, but use the actual programme label to decide which record fits.
If the goal is to understand the demonstration in full, prefer a complete labelled programme where one is offered. If the goal is to quote what the reporter said on a particular day, preserve the dated report. These choices depend on the intended use, not simply on which thumbnail carries the most familiar logo.
Keep audio and later commentary identifiable
The directory lists related radio separately. When sharing an interview recommendation, specify whether it is an audio programme, a filmed interview or a television news segment. A written transcript or headline may help identify an item without itself being the full recording.
For an evolving story, keep the report’s date with the link and distinguish it from a later explanation. For a planned showing, check the selected service’s present programme information. Those details make the choice between YTN, Science TV and YTN2 useful while avoiding an assumption that all three follow one running order or offer identical editions.
