Crossword Genius

Commercial outlet that is coming (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

advent

'coming' is the definition.
('advent' can be a synonym of 'coming')

'commercial outlet' is the wordplay.
'commercial' becomes 'ad'.
'outlet' becomes 'vent' (I've seen this before).
'ad'+'vent'='ADVENT'

'that is' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for advent that I've seen before include "Second Coming" , "Pre-Christmas period" , "sort of calendar" , "Season preceding Christmas" , "appearance" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
