Use the current Syrian Al-Ikhbariya name and the date of the programme. SANA documented its May 2025 launch identity and marked the first anniversary in May 2026. A legacy station list should not decide which present-day Syrian news edition you receive.
Current Syrian Al-Ikhbariya identity
An older list may preserve a former logo, numbering scheme or institutional label. Match the channel name shown in a current official reference with the programme on screen, then check the bulletin date. Historical broadcaster information can help explain an archive item, but it should not be presented as a current inventory of Syrian television.
Bulletin date matters more than a legacy number
For news, identify the full edition and the date in Damascus. For an interview or official address, add the guest or speaker and the subject. A report quoting an interview may be much shorter than the interview itself; a complete speech and a news summary also serve different viewing needs. Choose the form that matters before comparing channel packages.
Language and full interview scope
Keep the original Arabic title or a screenshot of the programme heading when communicating in English. State any subtitle need explicitly. The institutional launch evidence establishes which identity is being discussed; it does not verify a separate provider’s feed, its current continuity, or access to every historical programme under an earlier Syrian television brand.
Time-zone reference locations
Asia/Damascus
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.
