Provides continuity in cat broadcast (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

links

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

'provides continuity' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.

'cat broadcast' is the wordplay.
'cat' becomes 'lynx' (lynx is a kind of cat).
'broadcast' indicates a 'sounds like' (homophone) clue (how the word might sound on the radio or TV).
'lynx' sounds like 'LINKS'.

'in' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for links that I've seen before include "(Seaside) golf course - connections" , "Bonds" , "course for sportspeople" , "Golf course by the sea" , "Golf-course" .)
