Thanks Susan, I'll be interested in hearing what more you learn, but it does look like TV is currently a Work Collection requirement! I just sent feedback (https://www.airbnb.com/help/feedback) and I encourage everyone who feels this wayt to do the same.

It seems inappropriate to require a TV for the Work Collection. As other's have pointed out here (I linked to this thread)
TV is for leisure, not work.
TV is not a specific requirement for a Business traveler.
To exclude an otherwise business / work equipped listing, where a TV is not desired esthetically, no room for, or no service for, is unfair.
Please don't make TV required. Actually, I've read similar argument that a TV should not be required for the Family Collection either, since on vacation, interactive quality time might be preferred to offer.
Thanks for considering!
