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 tell whether this definition defines the answer.

'could be worse' is the wordplay.
'could be' is an anagram indicator.
'worse' is an anagram of 'SOWER'.

'maybe' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?
