For RTP Internacional, keep the programme identity separate from the clock used to display its schedule. RTP Mundo provides city-based time choices and a date selector. Changing the viewing clock helps plan the start; it does not change which programme, episode or language version the household needs.
RTP Internacional and the viewing clock
Begin by identifying television rather than radio in the programme guide. Then choose the named international television service and the programme or episode. A household following Portugal from abroad may want the international schedule, while someone asking for a particular domestic programme needs that programme checked separately. The shared RTP brand does not establish an identical schedule or catalogue across every service.
The date selector matters
RTP Mundo’s guide includes viewing clocks such as Lisbon, Paris, Díli and New York. Use the city appropriate to the viewer, then recheck the calendar date. A late programme can appear on a different local day after conversion. Keep the original programme title and episode number alongside the displayed start so a time-zone adjustment cannot accidentally turn into a request for yesterday’s or tomorrow’s edition.
Language, signing and a complete programme
The guide also uses programme-level labels, including Portuguese sign language on selected material. If signing or another accessibility feature matters, attach it to the specific programme request. A sign-language edition, subtitles and spoken Portuguese serve different needs; an interface translated into another language does not establish that the programme has translated audio.
| Viewing need | Exact request |
|---|---|
| Plan an overseas start | Select the appropriate guide city, recheck the calendar date, and retain the programme title and episode. |
| Recover an earlier programme | Keep the original edition date; a later viewing time or shared link does not change its identity. |
| Request an accessible version | Name the actual signing, caption or audio requirement on that programme, then verify the supplied version. |
Build a Portugal-to-overseas request
For recorded viewing, decide whether the whole programme is required or one interview, performance or report. Confirm that the recording begins with the intended edition rather than with an unrelated repeat. The visible international guide helps identify the programme and clock, but it does not verify another provider’s feed, replay depth or access to every RTP recording.
- Select television and the intended service.
- Set the viewer’s city, then check the date again.
- Match episode identity before judging the start time.
Time-zone reference locations

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.
