Retain the place-linked station label
RBA’s official list includes Radio Huye, Radio Musanze, Radio Rusizi, Radio Rubavu and Radio Nyagatare alongside Radio Rwanda, Radio Inteko and Magic FM. Keep the exact label from the recommendation. A news story about a town does not prove that the town’s named radio station produced the recording.
For an interview, save the programme name, guest and date. If the only source is a short shared clip, try to recover its official programme context before presenting it as the entire discussion. A national homepage may promote the story while the complete audio belongs to a distinct station destination.
Choose watch or listen on purpose
The same official page labels RTV as a watch destination and the radio services as listening destinations. A static image during radio playback is not necessarily an error. Choose RTV when the task requires the actual television programme and its visual content.
Check the individual recording for language rather than inferring it from the location label or a translated page. The government identifies Kinyarwanda as a common language and other official languages, but that national fact cannot establish a specific video’s audio tracks or captions. Inspect and test the item itself.
Create a useful replay and scheduling note
Use Africa/Kigali and the actual broadcast date for a live appointment in a named Canadian city. Keep the Rwandan edition date for replays. Bookmark the relevant station or programme family separately from the exact interview you want to share.
If playback is unavailable, retain the service name and the publisher’s displayed message. A public station link is evidence of an official destination, not a guarantee of Canadian access, a particular app feature or carriage in a commercial IPTV package.
Keep Radio Inteko as a precise source label
Radio Inteko appears as its own official listening destination. Retain that name when it is the source of a recommendation. Do not infer the completeness of proceedings, a video version or a transcript merely because a discussion concerns public affairs; inspect the actual published recording.

Is a Radio Rubavu item automatically the same as RTV news about Rubavu?
No. A location in a story and a station’s publishing identity are separate facts.
Does an official language establish the audio on every RBA item?
No. Check the actual programme’s description, soundtrack and available captions.
