"Program" I know as a computer term.
Isn't it here a television "programme"?

As far as I know, ‘programme’ is British English, while ‘program’ is used in American.

Demetrius is right, but 'program' is used for computer software even in the UK. A similar distinction is present for a number of British / American differences.

e.g.
Dialogue = British
Dialog = American _or_ Computing

Disc = (mostly) British
Disk = (mostly) American _or_ Computing
