'national tv'
Hi,
Please have a look at this:
The unfortunate accident that caused the explosion was extensively reported in all the local newspapers and national television. No error
=> They say 'national television' is wrong. Why is it wrong?
Many thanks,
Nessie.

Hello Nessie,
This is the structure:
1. It was reported in...national tv
Thus the problem lies not with the phrase "national tv", but with the preposition "in". (Things are in the papers, but on tv; so you need to insert a 2nd preposition.)
Have a pleasant Tuesday,
MrP
