Morphology
The meaning is directly and transparently composed from 'television' (the broadcast medium) and 'newscaster' (a person who reads or presents news), so the compound denotes a newscaster who works on television. This is a straightforward, non-idiomatic noun compound following common cross-linguistic patterns, so a B1 learner who knows the parts will understand it.
Etymology
Television newscaster comes from two simple images: television is the box that shows moving pictures in people's homes, and newscaster is a person who 'sends out' the news to many people. So a television newscaster is someone who presents and reports news on TV.
