Help me write for the teevee!

My friend has happened into an Executive Producer role for a new syndicated daytime talk show which will be produced in a major non-California Western city. (Think lifestyle, health, food, good vibes). The star/creator has won an Emmy for an earlier daytime show and is a veteran of TV and radio. They want me to be a writer! NOW WHAT?
I'm an accomplished print journalist with a number of great national publications under my belt, but have never done TV. I tossed out a dozen or so segment ideas off the top of my head and they liked them all. How does one write for that? Research, give the host talking points and questions? It's not like it would be a video script. (Which I have written before.)
NOW what? I have zero idea what salary, what title, what the day-to-day of working will look like. (Five 60-minute shows per week, 3 maybe 4 segments a show.)
TV writers of MeFi, please help me get and rock this gig! Any and all suggestions welcome.
