Discussion

mediamatrix (X) Oct 22, 2010:
broadcaster in the UK The primary meaning of 'broadcaster' in the UK is an organization which makes and delivers programmes to the listeners/viewers - eg: the (venerable) BBC, ITV, C4.
'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.
Travelin Ann Oct 22, 2010:
With the proviso that I am US, not UK, broadcaster is used more for radio and sounds a bit out of date. Do you know if this is television or radio or both?
fionn (asker) Oct 22, 2010:
broadcaster? Hi folks, thanks for your contributions, I'm wondering about just 'TV / radio broadcaster' (this is UK English by the way).
Travelin Ann Oct 21, 2010:
Perhaps - for an NGO employee
mediamatrix (X) Oct 21, 2010:
Contradiction? 'job title' for an 'NGO' ... ?
I fail to see how an NGO can have a job description.

Presumably the job description will tell you whether it's radio, TV, or both.

talk show host

this vague but accurate description would cover for either radio or television
Peer comment(s):

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

fair enough - although it probably is a talk show, considering the topic - 'program host"

Anchorman (ou woman)

Given the limited context, this seems to fit !
