Broadcasts about poems (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

relays

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'broadcasts' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'about poems' is the wordplay.
'about' becomes 're' ('re' means regarding or about).
'poems' becomes 'lays' (I can't justify this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
're'+'lays'='RELAYS'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for relays that I've seen before include "Broadcasts" , "Passes on a message" , "Foot races in which batons are passed" , "teams of relief workers" , "Races with team members who pass a baton" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
