Beloww is a list of some of the stuff I've learned to do, both in studio and in the field. This list was created and written by Mr. Devin Brown, but I use it since we've been in practically every TV production class together and have done the same things.

Studio Production Experience

Television Production 1
Television Production 2

Working in the University of Houston TV studios:

Producer - writing scripts, preparing a production package, and communicating what your vision is to the Director
Director - calling the shots in a production and keeping your crew under control (which is hard to do sometimes, believe me)
Assistant Director - keeping track of the show's run time
Lighting director - creating light plots and lighting the sets
Audio director - using studio audio mixer and controlling the show's audio (music and mics)
Technical Director - working a studio switcher
Chyron operator - creating character generated titles for a show
Tape Operator - making sure the magic that gets made is laid down on tape for future generations to see
Over 50 hours experience with studio cameras
