sacramento

'us capital' is the definition.
(state capital of California)

'ace stuff in broadcast round' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'ace' could be 'a' (abbreviation) and 'a' is located in the answer.
'stuff' could be 'cram' (cramming is a kind of stuffing) and 'cram' is located in the answer.
'broadcast' could be 'sent' (sent or transmitted as a broadcast) and 'sent' is found within the remaining letters.
'round' could be 'o' (round can mean a round object) and 'o' is found in the answer.
No letters remain.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
