A Rupert Bear broadcast? (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

brooke

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

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

'bear broadcast?' is the wordplay.
'bear' becomes 'brook' (both can mean to tolerate or endure).
'broadcast?' becomes 'e' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'brook'+'e'='BROOKE'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for brooke that I've seen before include "Rupert --, English war poet" , "Rupert --, WW1 poet" , "Rupert __ , poet, d.1915" , "one called Rupert" , "Versifying Rupert" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
