Morphology
The meaning is directly and transparently composed from 'television' (the medium) + 'program' (a broadcast); together they specify a broadcast presented on television. This is a straightforward, cross-linguistically common compound noun that a B1 learner who knows both constituents will readily understand.
Etymology
Television program comes from two simple ideas: television is the 'seeing from far' box that sends pictures to your home, and program is a 'plan' or 'list' of shows to be shown. So a television program is a planned show sent on TV for people to watch.
