Anger-filled commercial shown (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

aired

'shown' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'anger-filled commercial' is the wordplay.
'anger' becomes 'ire' (ire is intense rage).
'filled' indicates putting letters inside.
'commercial' becomes 'ad' (abbreviation for advertisement).
'ire' going into 'ad' is 'AIRED'.

(Other definitions for aired that I've seen before include "Vented to or exposed to breeze" , "Made public" , "Exposed to breeze for freshening - say damp clothes" , "Raised" , "Exposed for drying" .)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Express.
