Child interrupts news programme (5)

I believe the answer is:

sprog

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

'child' is the definition.
(informal term for a child)

'interrupts news programme' is the wordplay.
'SPROG' is hidden in amongst the letters.
However, I'm uncertain how this is indicated.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for sprog that I've seen before include "Child, colloquially" , "little one" , "Child; recruit (mil. slang)" , "Kid" , "Infant" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
