...broadcasters of channels currently available by...

Explanation:
It seems from your context that you must be looking for the actual NAME of the organisations, and I think 'broadcasters' is quite a good word to sum up the ensemble that may be TV stations, TV companies, etc. etc.

HTH !

programme editors, editors of programmes

Explanation:
Given that "chaîne" is essentially used to mean the television station or network, it also comes down to programmes.

Out of context, the term "éditeur de chaînes" is programme editors.

In context though, your term is "éditeurs de chaînes diffusées via le cable ou satellite", i.e.,

the editors of programmes which are broadcast by cable or satellite.
