Crossword Genius

A new singer avoiding current presenter (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

anchorman

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

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

'a new singer avoiding current' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'a' could be 'an' and 'an' is found within the answer.
'new' could be 'n' (common abbreviation eg NT for New Testament) and 'n' is located in the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for anchorman that I've seen before include "Last person in relay race - TV presenter" , "who winds up relay?" , "One broadcasting" , "Maybe last person to run" , "Last runner in a relay race - person presenting a TV show" .)
