Morphology
The meaning is a straightforward combination of 'television' (broadcasting system) + 'station' (a place or organization providing services), so a B1 learner who knows both words can readily infer it refers to the place/company that produces and transmits TV broadcasts. This noun + noun compositional pattern is common cross-linguistically and follows standard English head-modifier compound formation, making the expression predictable and transparent.
Etymology
Television station comes from joining television (sending pictures and sound) and station (a fixed place that sends out signals). Imagine a building with antennas and studios where people make and send TV shows to many homes, so the phrase means the company or place that produces and sends television programs today.
