Choose the programme’s subject and origin as well as its Vanuatu publisher. VBTC’s catalogue includes an older Catalyst science programme entry describing mainly Australian stories, while its local news separately reports Vanuatu parliamentary questions. A programme carried in a local catalogue is not automatically a locally produced report.
A programme in the Vanuatu catalogue can be imported
The Catalyst entry is dated 22 November 2023. It helps identify a science programme, but does not establish today’s transmission time or a particular episode’s availability. If a science film is wanted, name the discovery or episode. If the goal is news from a Vanuatu community, request that local story rather than accepting an imported programme because it appears on the same publisher’s site.
A local parliamentary report is another form
For example, VBTC’s 6 November 2026 report summarises parliamentary questions, including Pekoa Airport. That written report identifies local subject matter; it is not evidence of a complete televised sitting. Ask whether the household wants the short report, an interview or the full questions and answers, and identify the actual media form found.
Port Vila date and programme identity
Keep the Port Vila programme date and the original event date if different. Specify Bislama, English, French or another required audio language on the actual item. A catalogue description in English does not establish every programme’s speech. Confirm the title, origin and full recording rather than treating all VBTC content as one local television edition.
