Morphology
The meaning 'a program broadcast on television' is directly and compositionally derived from 'television' (the broadcast medium) plus 'show' (a staged or presented program). This noun–noun compound follows common cross-linguistic patterns (e.g., Spanish 'programa de televisión', French 'émission de télévision') and would be immediately understandable to a B1 learner who knows both constituents.
Etymology
The term television show comes from early times when a television sent moving pictures of a show into people's homes from far away, so it became the name for 'a program you watch on TV'.
