TV personalities

Broadcast media stars

TV personalities are people who appear regularly on television and become recognizable to viewers—talk show hosts, news anchors, game show emcees, reality stars.

The term emphasizes their public persona over any particular talent: He's more of a TV personality than an actual journalist.

Someone can be a TV personality without being an actor, musician, or expert in anything except being on camera.
