TV crew

On-set technicians

A TV crew is the group of technical and support personnel who work behind the scenes on a television production.

This includes camera operators, sound technicians, lighting specialists, directors, and production assistants.

The term distinguishes the working team from on-air talent: The TV crew arrived at dawn to set up for the morning broadcast.
