'hazardous' is the definition.
(synonyms)

'lead-in for radio 1 broadcaster' is the wordplay.
'lead in for radio' becomes 'r' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'r' becomes 'I' (Roman numeral).
'broadcaster' becomes 'sky' (Sky is a television company).
'r'+'i'+'sky'='RISKY'
