Morphology
The meaning is directly compositional: an 'announcer' who works for or on 'television' — i.e., a person introducing or commenting on TV programs. This noun+noun modifier pattern is common cross-linguistically and follows normal English compounding, so a B1 learner who knows both words will readily infer the MWE’s meaning.
Etymology
Television announcer comes from early TV days when a person would 'announce' shows on the television screen, often standing in front of the camera to tell viewers what was next. That's why a television announcer today means someone who introduces or gives information about TV programs.
