Crossword Genius

BBC's first rare broadcast is less covered (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

barer

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

'bbc's first rare broadcast' is the wordplay.
'bbc's first' becomes 'b' (1st letter of 'bbc').
'broadcast' is an anagram indicator (letters scattered or cast around).
'rare' is an anagram of 'arer'.
'b'+'arer'='BARER'

'is' is the link.

(Another definition for barer that I've seen is " Stripper".)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Express.
