Keep the paired programme identifiers
The official TV4 page displays Tifinagh and Arabic labels for named programmes and news. Copy the original title from the publisher and retain its paired label where supplied. A household transliteration can help a limited television keyboard, but compare the result with the original before merging favourites.
Do not treat two scripts as proof of two recordings. They can be labels for one programme. Equally, a similarly translated title elsewhere can identify another show. Keep the actual publisher, programme family and date as the verification reference.
Choose TV4 programme or general news deliberately
ENTV’s general Arabic site publishes written national and international reports, while TV4 has its own programme-discovery page. A report discussing Tamazight-language media is not itself the television programme a relative wants. Use the actual programme title and edition.
For a complete discussion, retain the guest or subject and date. A short report, programme preview and full recording have different scope. Compare the actual item’s description and duration rather than using a familiar language label as evidence that the complete programme is present.
Treat language diversity at the right level
A 2025 ENTV account discusses Tamazight’s linguistic varieties in media. That is context for a precise household language request, not a promise that every programme offers all varieties or translated tracks. Verify the particular production and any explicit language edition.
A French or English browser translation can assist reading without changing the soundtrack. Test captions and any accompanying text on the actual recording. A Tifinagh title is not a selectable caption guarantee, and a readable synopsis is not necessarily a verbatim transcript.
Keep the dated local reference and actual access
For a live appointment, use Africa/Algiers with the real programme date and Canadian city. Keep the Algerian edition date for replays. A written article timestamp may differ from the underlying programme’s transmission.
The sources establish programme/script and publisher context, not Canadian playback, a complete archive or third-party IPTV rights. Save the exact item and preserve any restriction or missing-recording evidence. A working general news page does not establish permission for every TV4 programme.
