British way — choosing actors for TV business (12)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

broadcasting

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

'tv business' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I don't see how one could define the other.

'british way choosing actors' is the wordplay.
'british' becomes 'b' (abbreviation e.g. in BBC).
'way' becomes 'road' (road is a kind of way).
'choosing actors' becomes 'casting' (I've seen this before).
'b'+'road'+'casting'='BROADCASTING'

'for' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for broadcasting that I've seen before include "TV transmission?" , "Transmitting radio/TV" , "on air" .)
