Television Maldives, PSM News, YES TV and Maldives TV are distinct PSM brands. Its brand directory describes domestic general television, news, youth/sports programming and international destination content separately. A request for home news should name the actual programme rather than rely on the word Maldives.
TVM is not every PSM brand
TVM is described as national general television, while PSM News is the news service and YES TV has youth, entertainment and sports programming. Maldives TV is described as an international destination channel. A resort or travel feature can be relevant to a visitor while failing a resident’s need for a complete local bulletin.
Domestic programme or destination content
Include the atoll or island, story or event and required Dhivehi or other speech. For an island ceremony, state whether the full event is needed; a news package summarising it is not the same. PSM’s brand page lists radio services too, so verify that an entry opens television video when video is essential.
Keep island and local event date
Use Indian/Maldives and the original event date. Keep the observed service label with any programme link and specify whether live transmission or a complete recording is acceptable. A youth/sports brand identifies an editorial focus, not every match’s platform rights; name the fixture and commentary before asking about availability.
Time-zone reference locations
Indian/Maldives
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.
