For Niger, name Télé Sahel or Tal TV and the exact edition. RTN’s official pages distinguish television from Voix du Sahel radio and list dated Hausa, Zarma and other language bulletins. Niger and Nigeria require different station identities and should not be merged in a channel request.
RTN television and radio identities
The Télé Sahel selection includes bulletins labelled Zarma, Hausa, Gourmantché, Tagdal and Tubu. Retain the named edition and original date. A programme in one language is not proof of alternative tracks for all the others, and French navigation does not determine the language a viewer will hear.
Choose the actual language bulletin
RTN’s portal separates television routes, radio listening and linked video selections. A selected YouTube report, a complete bulletin and an actual current linear stream answer different needs. A headline mentioning sport or a local competition cannot establish the right to show a full event on another route.
Dated archive and live label
Use Africa/Niamey and the original dated bulletin. For a regional story, include the locality and topic; for Tal TV, keep that service label rather than shortening it to Sahel. If an entry opens radio audio or an old report, preserve the exact title and observed date. That evidence helps identify the correct edition without making assumptions about all television from Niger.
Time-zone reference locations
Africa/Niamey
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.
