Morphology
TV + station
The meaning 'a company or facility that produces and transmits television programs' is directly and transparently derived from 'TV' (television) + 'station' (a broadcasting facility or channel). This composition matches a common pattern (e.g., 'radio station') that is cross-linguistically familiar, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents will readily infer the meaning.
Etymology
TV station comes from joining TV (short for 'television') and station (a fixed place that 'sends out' shows). The idea is like old radio 'stations' that made and sent programs, so a TV station is the place or company that makes and sends TV shows to people at home.
