  • On the farm: Unlike most locations, "farm" almost always takes "on" because it refers to the surface of the land being worked.
  • On TV: This is a fixed expression for all electronic media (on the radio, on the internet, on a website).
  • At 7 o'clock: This follows the standard rule for time: at for specific times, in for months/years, and on for days/dates.
