Programming
What are the differences between "TV programming" and "TV programmes"? Plus, what is the proper English expression of the industry for the production of TV programmes? Can we say "the TV production industry"? But what about the industry for manufacturing TV sets? Lots of thanks!

Just to confuse things further, the word programme (as in, TV programme) is spelt "programme" in Britain and "program" in America.
The word program, however (as in, computer program) is spelt "program" throughout the world.

Well, "TV programming" is also an entire collection of programs, usually for a specific channel.
Ex.- "I don't like the programming on channel 9."
It might not be really correct to say "TV programming" to mean "a collection of TV programs", but it is still used this way. I hear it all the time.
