Specify RTNC in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, the programme and locality. Keep Kinshasa or another requested edition separate from where you watch. RTNC's national broadcaster description does not establish every regional stream, spoken language or a Hot IPTV lineup.
RTNC identifies the Democratic Republic of the Congo
RTNC's own About page identifies Radiotélévision Nationale Congolaise as the DRC national public broadcaster and describes television and radio activities. It should not be confused with Télé Congo in the Republic of the Congo. Congo alone is an incomplete request.
A national brand does not settle the regional need
If following news from Lubumbashi, Goma or Kinshasa, write the city and programme. A national bulletin containing one local report is different from a complete regional edition. State French, Lingala, Swahili or another required language with the item. A French institutional webpage is not evidence that every programme has French speech or selectable translated captions. For a public address, say whether the full live transmission or a later report is required.
Programme date and request details
The directory includes Africa/Kinshasa and Africa/Lubumbashi. Give the actual viewing city and original broadcast date rather than one generic DRC clock. A viewer in the east requesting a Kinshasa programme has both a feed locality and a viewer locality to record. This makes a guide mismatch easier to diagnose.
- Write Democratic Republic of the Congo/RTNC.
- Add programme and requested locality.
- Specify spoken language and full/live/replay need.
- Confirm the exact feed and retain both localities in any timing report.

Use the location relevant to the viewer and the event date. IANA reference locations are not a count of distinct current offsets; do not apply one fixed offset to the whole country.
