Use Korean Central Television, KCTV, as a specific programme-source identity. Institutional references identify the acronym, while a university library describes an archive interface for accessing source material. An archive or retransmission interface should be distinguished from the broadcaster and from a verified current live service.
KCTV is a specific television identity
Preserve the Korean programme title when available, the original broadcast date and the page that supplied the video. A third-party archive can organise broadcaster material without becoming the original broadcaster. This distinction matters when an edited report, recorded transmission and current live entry share similar labels.
Programme source and upload date differ
If a viewer wants a particular speech, cultural performance or news edition, give the subject and complete-session requirement. An English written description or translated headline does not establish English television audio or a full subtitled recording. Ask for the actual language and edition; do not infer every numbered domestic service from a generic Korean television label.
Keep Pyongyang date and language
Use Asia/Pyongyang and retain the original local date separately from upload time. This review did not verify current operating hours, uninterrupted playback, territorial access or a particular distributor’s carriage. A precise request should therefore identify the programme and provenance first, with live status and permitted access confirmed for the actual route rather than borrowed from an aggregator’s marketing.
Time-zone reference locations
Asia/Pyongyang
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.
