Use the current TVM, TVM+ and TV Msport+ labels. PBS’s 2025/26 programme statement and the regulator’s station list use these names. An older TV Mnews+ entry should be checked against the present service identity rather than counted automatically as another channel.
Current labels and older lists
The programme statement distinguishes TVM’s general/lifestyle/entertainment focus, TVM+ current affairs, education and culture, and TV Msport+ sport. That helps turn a vague Malta request into the correct programme enquiry. A plus sign belongs to a brand; it does not specify a household connection allowance or an additional account.
Match the programme type
For a Maltese discussion, give the programme, subject and original date. For a local sporting event, include competition, teams and session. A sports service’s editorial focus does not establish every fixture’s internet or overseas rights. Keep Maltese speech, English speech and subtitles as separate requirements when comparing editions.
A Maltese programme request
Use Europe/Malta and retain the local calendar date when watching abroad. If an old favourites entry and current menu use different labels, compare the on-screen identity and actual programme before removing either one. The regulator confirms station identities, while the chosen platform’s current listing must establish how the requested programme is delivered.
Time-zone reference locations
Europe/Malta
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.
