Write the actual language and medium
ZNBC’s Radio 1 profile names Lozi, Tonga, Luvale, Nyanja, Lunda, Bemba and Kaonde. Its Radio 2 profile describes English programming. Keep the requested language in the viewing note, alongside the programme and whether the intended item is television or radio.
A corporate page also identifies local-language news on TV1 and Radio 1. Treat that as a programme-discovery clue, not as proof that every bulletin has seven selectable tracks. A sequence of distinct language editions is different from one video offering a multi-audio menu.
Use current programme details for an appointment
A sponsorship or corporate profile can describe a programme’s role without serving as a reliable live schedule for a particular day. Check the current named programme or channel page before arranging viewing. Do not copy an old corporate time into a Canadian calendar as though it is a permanent appointment.
For a replay, retain the language edition and Zambian date. Two bulletins from one day can discuss the same stories but remain different recordings. Compare the actual item rather than inferring that an English summary contains the wording of a Bemba or Lozi bulletin.
Test comprehension and save a durable reference
Open a representative permitted item and check the spoken language and any available captions or transcript. A translated web description cannot replace the original audio. Share the exact language, edition date and official item address with another viewer.
For a live appointment, convert the dated Africa/Lusaka time to the actual Canadian city. The official pages establish ZNBC’s own language-service descriptions; they do not establish current Canadian access, full replay retention or inclusion in a third-party IPTV package.
Do not confuse a translation business service with programme tracks
The Radio 1 corporate profile also mentions translation services. That is a business description, not a promise that the player translates a bulletin on demand. Keep the requested Lozi, Bemba or other named edition separate from any unverified expectation of selectable interpretation. Retain the original edition title when sharing it.
