Broadcast as meant for composer (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

smetana

'for composer' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'broadcast as meant' is the wordplay.
'broadcast' indicates an anagram (letters scattered or cast around).
'as'+'meant'='asmeant'
'asmeant' anagrammed gives 'SMETANA'.

(Other definitions for smetana that I've seen before include "Czech composer, d. 1884 - Eastman (anag)" , "maker of notes" , "Composer of The Bartered Bride; eats man (anag.)" , "Nineteenth century Czech composer (The Bartered Bride)" , "Bedrich ____, composer of "The Bartered Bride" and "The Kiss"" .)
