You could take a variety of routes but the most focused would probably be to take degree in journalism. You can major in journalism as an undergraduate or take an M.A. Most of the top journalism programs are graduate programs (e.g., UC Berkeley's program: http://journalism.berkeley.edu/) but you can get an idea of the undergraduate programs by checking out US News' rankings: http://www.usnews.com/usnews/edu/college/majors/brief/major_9-04_brief.php

Journalism or Broadcasting, but most people who end up in TV have a journalism degree of some sort.

Definitely, you will want to seek out a degree in broadbasting and/or journalism. Good luck!

That would be a telejournalism degree or a telecommunications degree. TV news reporters are called journalists, like their counterparts in the newpaper business.

journalism probably - also throw in some psych and soc courses along with writing ones. Try to be a news hound like Carol Marin and not just another pretty face reading someone else's copy.

In addition to the degree areas mentioned you can also look at communications

Communications. I minored in electronic communications and it covered all aspects of journalism: TV, radio, newspaper and the internet.
