Seychelles Broadcasting Corporation’s information manual distinguishes SBC1’s flagship and first-run role, SBC2’s archive/assembly/outside-broadcast work and SBC3’s special events and reruns. Keep the service and programme format together rather than treating three numbered entries as identical feeds.
Three television identities
A first showing on SBC1, a National Assembly session and an event rerun can answer different viewing needs. Retain the original programme date and say whether a repeat is acceptable. A live linear service may legitimately show previously recorded material; that does not make the recording the current live event.
First run, assembly or special event
The manual separates local television from Radyo Sesel and Paradise FM and from international services carried on the domestic digital platform. A familiar imported news channel does not replace a Seychellois local programme. Likewise, SBC should include Seychelles in the enquiry to avoid confusion with Saudi Arabia’s identically abbreviated service.
Keep Seychelles programme date
Use Indian/Mahe and specify Seychelles Creole, French, English or another exact speech requirement for the chosen edition. For an assembly debate or press conference, include the session or speaker and full-coverage need. The manual explains functions, not current internet carriage or every programme’s language and overseas rights.
Time-zone reference locations
Indian/Mahe
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.
