For Jamaica, ask for TVJ and the actual programme: Smile Jamaica, Prime Time News or Schools Challenge Quiz are useful starting identities. TVJ’s current homepage separates live television, programme material and links to 1SpotMedia; specify which output you need.
A complete Jamaican programme is the useful target
For Smile Jamaica, say whether the complete morning edition or one interview is required. For Prime Time News, retain the Jamaican calendar date. A news excerpt with a matching headline can still omit the rest of the edition. A homepage link to a viewing platform does not establish that every programme has an unrestricted full replay.
Keep the competition or guest in the enquiry
For Schools Challenge Quiz, include the participating schools or season if known. For a discussion or entertainment interview, identify the guest. These details help separate a current episode from an archive upload and reduce confusion when the same programme has several thumbnails or edited segments.
Use the original Kingston date
America/Jamaica is the directory clock. Keep that broadcast date with the current viewing city abroad. Compare a representative local programme through its opening and ending, including the required speech and captions. A sports segment in a bulletin should not be treated as evidence that the full match is available on that viewing route.
Time-zone reference locations
America/Jamaica
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.
