As a broadcaster, could be worse (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

sower

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

'as a broadcaster' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.

'could be worse' is the wordplay.
'could be' indicates anagramming the letters.
'worse' with letters rearranged gives 'SOWER'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for sower that I've seen before include "Worker in field" , "Broadcaster" , "Arable worker" , "One spreading seeds" , "Seedy operative" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
