You are right. We never called movie studios or TV Channels "tech companies" even though all their work is distributed and created by technology.

Did movie studios and tv channels employ large departments of researchers and engineers that developed and deployed the technology?

Yes? It’s not common anymore due to the technology maturing, but on its heyday the TV channels were on the forefront of technology. See the development of color television and much more recently (and I’m most familiar with it), the digital TV standards.
