Catch the eye perhaps with a nationwide broadcast? (4-2)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

hook-up

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

'with a nationwide broadcast?' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.

'catch the eye' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'catch' could be 'hook' (hook is a kind of catch) and 'hook' is present in the answer.
The remaining letters 'up' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

'perhaps' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for hook-up that I've seen before include "(Field) radio connection" , "Interconnection of broadcasting equipment" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
