Broadcast in a manner so pointed! (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

sow

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

'broadcast in a manner' is the definition.
'sow' can be an answer for 'broadcast' (I've seen this before). I'm not sure about the 'in a manner' bit.

'so pointed' is the wordplay.
'pointed' becomes 'w' (I can't explain this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'so'+'w'='SOW'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for sow that I've seen before include "Female bear" , "One who takes care of litter" , "Scatter seed; pig" , "Female pig" , "She lives in 11" .)
