The Chinese word 电视台 (diànshìtái) is a compound of two characters: 电视 (diànshì), meaning "television", and 台 (tái), meaning "station". The word 电视 is a combination of the characters 电 (diàn), meaning "electricity", and 视 (shì), meaning "to see". The word 台 (tái) is a common suffix used to refer to a place or organization, such as a station or platform. Therefore, the word 电视台 literally means "television station".
