Broadcast rerun gets revived (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

resurgent

'revived' is the definition.
(similar in meaning)

'broadcast rerun gets' is the wordplay.
'broadcast' indicates anagramming the letters (letters scattered or cast around).
'rerun'+'gets'='rerungets'
'rerungets' with letters rearranged gives 'RESURGENT'.

(Other definitions for resurgent that I've seen before include "Coming back to life" , "reborn" , "Reviving after period of inactivity" , "rising again" , "Reviving in popularity" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
