MRT’s programme selector distinguishes MRT1, MRT2 and MRT sat. Keep the service label and original programme title together. A historical regulator study of Albanian-language MRT2 programming illustrates why the intended language edition matters, but does not establish every current channel’s audio or subtitle options.
MRT service labels
For a Macedonian- or Albanian-speaking household, name the programme and required speech. Retain Cyrillic or Latin spelling from the original title rather than translating every item into generic news. If a remembered programme belonged to another community-language edition, include that detail and an original date.
Language edition and original script
A satellite-labelled service and a domestic numbered channel should not be assumed to share a full schedule. Likewise, children’s material described in an older regulator study is evidence about that studied period, not a current transmission promise. For a child’s series, identify the episode and dubbed or subtitled edition actually needed.
Use Skopje programme date
Use Europe/Skopje and the local broadcast date. Compare the programme selector, dated listing and on-screen service identity before diagnosing a missing feed. A news report about a cultural event may be enough for one viewer, while another needs the full performance; write that distinction into the enquiry before comparing platform catalogues.
Time-zone reference locations
Europe/Skopje
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.
