Choose the actual KBC programme and service. The broadcaster’s current service page distinguishes KBC Channel 1, Y254 and Heritage TV, with news, youth and cultural viewing priorities. A shared KBC name does not make every programme interchangeable.
Match the household’s Kenyan programme
Write down the news bulletin, youth show or cultural programme the viewer recognises, with its original title. A report about a cultural event is different from a full performance, just as a youth programme and an adult current-affairs interview serve different audiences. Keep the displayed service name alongside the programme.
State the speech the viewer needs
Give English, Kiswahili or another named language as a requirement rather than inferring an audio menu from a country label. For a child or language learner, listen to normal conversation in the intended episode. A music sequence or ident cannot establish whether the whole programme meets that need.
Use the Nairobi edition date
Africa/Nairobi is the directory reference. Retain the original Kenyan date when abroad and identify a complete edition or live bulletin. If a search result opens radio or a short online clip, preserve the exact label and report that observation; it identifies the mismatch more clearly than an unspecified missing Kenya channel.
Time-zone reference locations
Africa/Nairobi
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.
