Morphology

telecaster = telecast (transparent) = telecast + er

Formed by adding the agentive suffix '-er' to 'telecast', giving the straightforward meaning 'one who broadcasts by television'.

Etymology

The word telecaster joins tele- meaning 'far' and caster from 'cast', meaning 'to send', like in television and broadcaster. So a telecaster is a person or company that 'sends' television programs to people far away, which is why it means someone who broadcasts TV.
