A television producer is a person who oversees one or more aspects of video production on a television program. Some producers take more of an executive role, in that they conceive new programs and pitch them to the television networks, but upon acceptance they focus on business matters, such as budgets and contracts.

Producers responsible for production facilities and logistics receive the credit "produced by." Co-producer In fictional shows, a co-producer may not have written the episode, but contributed significantly through table reads, discussions, and/or revisions.
