Check the guide's displayed zone
The retrieved TV5MONDE guide includes a selector with locations such as metropolitan France, Brussels, Zurich, Toronto, Montréal, New York, Dakar, Abidjan, Nouméa and Tahiti. Search retrieval also displayed a detected UTC zone. That observation belongs to the retrieval environment, not to the reader's device.
Suppose a French-speaking household is comparing a guide with a programme reminder. Read the zone actually shown on the guide before copying a start time. Do not assume that a French-language page displays Paris time, and do not treat a location option as proof that a programme is available to that location.
Keep the slot date and edition label distinct
The retrieved guide shows repeated slots for programmes including 64' Actu and 64' Débat, with an edition date in the programme description. A repeat's scheduled start and the news edition's own date answer different questions.
For a worked reminder, write the guide date, displayed zone, scheduled slot, exact programme title and edition label. If several slots carry the same dated edition, choose the slot that fits the viewing plan and keep the edition date unchanged. A later slot does not necessarily mean a newly produced bulletin.
Recheck the selected guide before sharing
After choosing a zone in the current guide, inspect the resulting displayed date and times before creating a reminder. When the next visit begins, read the displayed zone again; preserve the selected location in the viewing note so the reminder can be checked independently.
Share the programme and edition details with the reminder rather than sending only a bare time. If another person sees a different zone, the full note allows a meaningful comparison. The guide is a scheduling source; item-level rights and playback remain separate checks.
For the shared reminder, use a full line containing the viewing date, displayed zone, slot and edition label. Ask the recipient to compare the zone on their own guide before relying on the number. If the same edition appears later, record that as another scheduled opportunity rather than changing the bulletin’s original edition date.
Questions about this guide
Does French page text guarantee Paris time?
No. Read the guide's displayed zone and current location selection.
Can two slots refer to the same news edition?
The retrieved guide repeats programmes with the same edition label, so preserve both the slot and the edition date.
