While you can only "direct message" people on Twitter who are following you, you can try to get someone's attention by referring to their user name and adding the @ symbol prior. For example @DavidWallace which is my Twitter user name would show up in my "replies" box in TweetDeck which is what I mostly use to access Twitter.

When TV stations say send us a message on Twitter what do they mean. I am new to Twitter and as I understand I can only send messages to people following me - the TV station is not following me?

You may send a tweet (or @reply) to anyone on Twitter; you certainly don't have to be following them! Following a Twitter user just means that all their tweets appear in the "timeline" on the home page of Twitter when you log in. (Along with your tweets and the tweets of anyone else you may be following.) To follow someone, go to their Twitter page and click the "follow" button. Anyway, to send a tweet to any Twitter user, just include an @ sign followed by the username of the user you want to send the tweet to. For example, if you want to send a tweet to the user with the username JohnSmith, include @JohnSmith in you tweet.
