Viewing location
Keep the full Belarus service name
Belarus-1 and Belarus 24 are distinct broadcaster-service labels. A list shortened to Belarus can no longer identify which programme schedule the viewer expects. The number and edition should remain with a news, entertainment or cultural programme request.
Russian-language material also appears in different national broadcaster contexts. Russian speech by itself does not make a Belarus-country programme a Russian-country feed. Use the actual service name, title and date rather than relying only on a broad language group.
A bulletin’s date and time identify the edition
The current Belarus 24 site presents a running schedule, news and named programme items. A recurring title can appear in several editions, while an individual report is a different resource from a complete bulletin or the current live channel. Retain the dated entry selected.
For an earlier programme, keep the original title as well as an explanatory translation if needed. A news result published recently can refer to an earlier event, and a programme recording can remain in an archive after its live transmission. Publication date, programme date and viewing time should not be silently merged.
An information strip is not an alternative soundtrack
The official Belarus 24 schedule describes some news editions with an information strip in another language, including English or Polish. That describes text accompanying the picture; it should not be rewritten as a promise of a complete English- or Polish-language audio feed.
This distinction matters for a viewer who needs translated speech rather than a readable text summary. Spoken audio, subtitles, an information strip and website navigation are separate attributes. Check the actual programme version instead of assuming a language switch in the interface changes all of them.
A precise Belarusian viewing enquiry
Name Belarus-1 or Belarus 24, the programme, date and required audio or text version. If the listing and picture differ, preserve what was shown at the same time. If only one recording fails, keep that result separate from the condition of the live channel.
For schedule conversion, use the actual locality and current dated clock information rather than a remembered fixed offset. The official broadcaster page identifies its own programme resources. A country guide, flag or language label does not establish worldwide access, a local office or programme rights through an unrelated subscription.

No. Preserve the complete service label and programme edition.
Does Russian speech establish a Russia-country edition?
