A news broadcast with right to reply (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

answer

'reply' is the definition.
(synonyms)

'a news broadcast with right' is the wordplay.
'broadcast with' is an anagram indicator (letters scattered or cast around).
'right' becomes 'r' (common abbreviation).
'news' with its letters mixed up with 'r' makes 'nswer'.
'a'+'nswer'='ANSWER'

'to' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for answer that I've seen before include "It could give you a" , "Fulfil" , "Response to a question" , "Be satisfactory" , "Serve" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
