A television program creator has several meanings:
- Outside television in the United States, the program creator is the person who pitches a new TV show idea and sees it through.
- Within the US, a television program creator is the person who developed a significant part of the format, story, and teleplay, and also has sequel rights to the material.
Often, the creator is the screenwriter of the pilot episode, or a director, or a producer. Sometimes it is a writer of the series bible, or writers' guidelines.
