TVS is São Tomé and Príncipe’s television identity in RTP’s documented cooperation network. RTP NET describes exchange between separate broadcasters. Shared Portuguese-language material should not be mistaken for an identical schedule or a single channel covering every Lusophone country.
TVS and RTP are separate identities
When a programme is produced locally, retain TVS, the title and island or community. If the item originated with RTP or another partner, keep that producing name too. A programme shared through cooperation can appear in several places without making the surrounding domestic channels interchangeable.
Local report or shared programme
For a local interview or ceremony, give São Tomé or Príncipe, the venue and date. An RTP África report about the event may provide a summary while a TVS recording contains a different edition. Say whether the complete session is required rather than accepting any Portuguese-language clip with a matching subject.
Original island date and complete edition
Use Africa/Sao_Tome and preserve the original programme date separately from upload time. Specify Portuguese, Forro or another actual speech requirement for the intended item; cooperation does not establish a universal language menu. The reviewed primary source identifies the relationship, but does not establish a current TVS timetable, overseas live policy or another distributor’s carriage.
Time-zone reference locations
Africa/Sao_Tome
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.
