: It's not necessarily a talk show - it could be any kind of program.

Anchorman (ou woman)

Discussion
'broadcaster' is sometimes used to refers to an individual person's profession, but not usually in isolation; 'broadcaster' is linked to something else, presumably to avoid confusion with the more normal use of the word. eg: John XXX is an author and broadcaster, Jane YYY is a journalist and broadcaster.
I fail to see how an NGO can have a job description.
