asterisk

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

'for star' is the definition.
('asterisk' can be a synonym of 'star')

'broadcaster is keen to provide' is the wordplay.
'provide' says the answer is hidden in the clue.
'ASTERISK' is hidden within 'broadcaster is keen to'.

'accommodation' is the link.
This may not be correct. It may be part of another bit of the clue.

Can you help me to learn more?
