  Based on the dealings I’ve had in the broadcast world (local cable mostly) the list you were given is somewhat non-specific. Are those MPEG-2s program or transport stream? What bit rate? What sampling rate and format for the audio? You can export MP4s straight from the timeline. But I really think you need to try to talk with the tech guy at the station (sounds like a smallish station) and nail some of the specifics I mentioned earlier.
