'broadcast by artisans dismissing first of such service personnel' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.

'broadcast by artisans dismissing first of such' is the wordplay.
'broadcast by' becomes 'air' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'artisans' becomes 'craftsmen' ('craftsman' can be a synonym of 'artisan').
'dismissing' is a deletion indicator.
'first of such' becomes 's' (ast letter of 'such').
'craftsmen' with 's' removed is 'craftmen'.
'air'+'craftmen'='AIRCRAFTMEN'
