Broadcaster is worse off (5)

I believe the answer is:

sower

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

'worse off' is the wordplay.
'off' indicates an anagram.
'worse' anagrammed gives 'SOWER'.

'is' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for sower that I've seen before include "One planting seeds" , "Broadcaster" , "Worker in field" , "Seedy operative" , "One spreading seeds" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
