Angry outburst observed on the radio? (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

scene

'angry outburst' is the definition.
(as in making a scene)

'observed on the radio?' is the wordplay.
'observed' becomes 'seen' ('seen' can be a synonym of 'observed').
'on the radio?' indicates a 'sounds like' (homophone) clue (I've seen 'on the radio' mean this).
'seen' is a homophone of 'SCENE'.

(Other definitions for scene that I've seen before include "Histrionic incident" , "where crime was committed" , "site" , "Panorama" , "Place of an event - of the crime?" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
