Keep French Polynesia as the publisher context
Use Polynésie La 1ère with the programme and date. A documentary about the wider Pacific, a programme from another Polynesian country and a local French Polynesia bulletin are different objects. A shared cultural or geographic word does not establish the same publisher or schedule.
The network identifies separate television, radio and local-web output. Preserve the medium when following an interview or cultural item. A radio conversation with artwork may contain the complete discussion, while a television report supplies only a brief extract.
Use Tahitian output as a discovery clue, not a blanket track claim
France Télévisions names Tahitian among the network’s broadcast languages. That helps explain a household’s programme-language goal, but it does not prove that every item has Tahitian audio or a French translation track. Inspect the particular programme and any edition label.
Retain original titles and diacritics where supplied. A French synopsis can describe a Tahitian performance without translating the performance itself. For a learner or a viewer who needs captions, test a representative item and note the actual spoken language and text options rather than describing the whole platform as bilingual.
Choose the island clock, then the schedule reference
The directory includes Pacific/Tahiti, Pacific/Marquesas and Pacific/Gambier. Establish whether an announced time refers to the event venue or the broadcaster’s schedule. A report recorded in the Marquesas need not mean the entire channel schedule uses that island’s clock.
Use the actual date and relevant zone for the Canadian appointment, retaining both calendar dates if they differ. Do not force an island’s time into a whole-hour mental shortcut or reuse a Tahiti conversion for every archipelago. For replays, keep the publisher’s edition date as labelled.
Save a precise programme reference
A household note should contain the station, programme, island context where relevant and dated item address. Keep a current bulletin separate from an older cultural documentary newly featured online.
Official corporate sources establish station and language context. Direct local-player inspection and Canadian playback were unavailable during this research. Check the actual item for permission, captions and audio, and do not infer a Canadian package entitlement from a public network description.

Can Tahiti’s clock be used for every French Polynesia event?
No. Establish the island and whether the time refers to the venue or the channel schedule, then use the relevant dated zone.
Does a French synopsis guarantee French audio for a Tahitian performance?
No. Inspect the actual item’s audio and captions separately from the article language.
