Morphology

lineup = line + up (transparent) = line + up

The broadcasting sense extends the idea of an arranged sequence (programs lined up), so learners can map it from 'line' + 'up'.

Etymology

Lineup for TV uses the idea of things in a row: shows are lined up across time, with line ('a row') and up ('in order'). So a TV lineup is the schedule that shows which programs come when.
